11.3 Stirling to Berenger, OUT, oh my. This has been a bit of a struggle for Berenger, and it ends tamely, as he pops up a back of a length ball, leg-stumpish, straight into short midwicket's hands, going too early into a flick AR Berenger c Porterfield b Stirling 13 (47m 25b 1x4 0x6) SR: 52.00
13.1 Stirling to Krishna Chandran, OUT, got him! Again it's the one that goes with the angle. It's angled in towards off stump and he drives at it with an angled bat, too much bottom hand in that, and it pops up off the outside edge and it goes very quickly to Kevin O'Brien at slip, over his right shoulder, and he parried it in the air at the first attempt and caught it safely on the second attempt Krishna Chandran c KJ O'Brien b Stirling 0 (7m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
18.5 KJ O'Brien to Amjad Ali, OUT, short, sits up, he could have hit that anywhere he wanted, but all he manages to do is pick out Sorensen on the deep square leg boundary Amjad Ali c Sorensen b KJ O'Brien 45 (80m 71b 5x4 0x6) SR: 63.38
47.4 KJ O'Brien to Shaiman Anwar, 3 runs, back of a length outside off and is that the hundred? Yes it is! Brilliant stuff, and that's a brilliant bit of batting to get to the landmark, dabbing it away into the gap to the left of short third man and picking up three. Takes the helmet off and sinks to his knees, huge grin on his face. This has been a wonderful innings.
48.4 Sorensen to Shaiman Anwar, OUT, goes a long way outside leg stump and Sorensen bowls a simple length ball on off stump. He has to reach for it to hit that over the covers, ends up scooping it high in the air behind the wicket off the outside half of his bat. The wicketkeeper settles under it, and that's the end of a fantastic World Cup century Shaiman Anwar c †Wilson b Sorensen 106 (127m 83b 10x4 1x6) SR: 127.71
1.4 Guruge to Stirling, OUT, got him! That is superb bowling from Guruge, slanted this across and this time there was no swing. Stirling stood there and flashed at it away from his body, and could only nick it through to the keeper PR Stirling c †Patil b Guruge 3 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33
18.4 Amjad Javed to Joyce, OUT, got him! Joyce's luck runs out finally, goes for a drive away from his body. It was a good ball, angling away, not full enough to drive, and the edge carries through at shoulder height to Patil EC Joyce c †Patil b Amjad Javed 37 (49b 3x4 0x6) SR: 75.51
25.2 Mohammad Tauqir to NJ O'Brien, OUT, Tauqir strikes again! Niall has reviewed, but it looked plumb. It slid on again, towards middle stump, I would think. Went for the sweep across the line and that thudded into his front pad. Was there an edge? Nope. Didn't get a huge stride forward either. Hit him in line with middle stump, you can see off stump when it hit. Turned and straightened, in fact, and went past his outside edge. Hitting three-fourths of the way up middle stump, and Niall O'Brien will have to go. NJ O'Brien lbw b Mohammad Tauqir 17 (24b 1x4 0x6) SR: 70.83
44.4 Amjad Javed to KJ O'Brien, OUT, gone! Another slower ball, and he was moving away from the line, looking to hit over extra cover. Doesn't connect half as well as he'd have liked to, and he scoops it straight into the fielder's hands KJ O'Brien c Mohammad Naveed b Amjad Javed 50 (25b 8x4 2x6) SR: 200.00
47.3 Mohammad Naveed to Wilson, OUT, and UAE are back in it! that's a short ball angling into his body, and he leans away to guide it past short third man, but he ends up hitting it too close to him, and Javed dives forward and takes a super low catch GC Wilson c Amjad Javed b Mohammad Naveed 80 (69b 9x4 0x6) SR: 115.94
