commentary

Over 19. 7 runs. Bowler: Ravi Rampaul. Ireland: 129/6(rr 6.79)

Rampaul to Jones. Length ball, outside off stump on the back foot driving, mis-timed to deep backward point for 1 run. So Ireland stumble towards a final total of 129-6 from their 19 overs. Plenty of batsmen got a start but nobody could go on to really anchor the innings in the face of some clever, canny bowling in tricky conditions. Darren Sammy will be happy with his side - the captain rotated his bowlers well and never let the Irish batsmen settle as a result. The danger for Ireland now, with a total at that level, is that they will know West Indies only need Gayle to fire and they will have this total in their sights.
