Botha out for 28. 139-6.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

good call on the 180 Shaney

[Gabriel_Hurl]

rain stops play

[Gabriel_Hurl]

This could be a good thing for Ireland

Overcast conditions, moisture in the air, the new ball - there'll be a bit of movement out there for the bowlers

[ONeill]

159-6 (45.2 overs)

Rain back on. This is ideal for Ireland. Should stop Windies running up the likes of 200 in 20 overs.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

and we're back on - only playing 48 overs though

[Gabriel_Hurl]

and we've lost 2 wickets in 4 balls

[Gabriel_Hurl]

7:07 PM GMT So the Irish finish on 183 for eight, but there will certainly be an adjustment of the West Indian target to take account of the 16 balls Ireland lost in their innings.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Windies need 190 to win in 48 overs

[bridgegael]

it says that the west indies win by 6 runs (d\l)   wat does this mean.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

on the BBC site - that's wrong - they added 6 runs to Ireland's total - because of Messers Duckworth and Lewis

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Langford Smith makes the breakthrough 24/1 after 5 overs

[dec]

Not a bad wicket to take, Gayle was doing all the scoring

[The Real Laoislad]

Not well up on the whole cricket game but im sure a team like West Indies shouldn't have a problem getting 160?

[Gabriel_Hurl]

You'd think so - wouldnt't ya? Don't rule anything out
