Forty extras conceded by Ireland, including 31 wides, boosting the Scottish total to what proved to be a comfortably defended total. Today there was to be no escape as there was for the Boys in Green on Tuesday, with only skipper David Agnew passing 20 as the middle order collapsed around him, with no one making double figures. Some late resistance from the tail Eliott Parkhill (24), Shav Biju (18) and Jacob Blair (18), but by then the damage had been done and their efforts only delayed the inevitable. Ireland lead the series 2-1 with the final match a T20 starting at 10.15 tomorrow again at Uprichard Park.

Alfie Moan was the hero for Ireland Under-15s as they beat Scotland by two wickets in a low scoring thriller at Bangor. Chasing 117, Ireland were in real trouble at 43 for seven, but the Killyclooney youngster made a battling unbeaten 59 to clinch victory.
