Ireland have not looked like picking up a wicket and their shoulders seemed to have dropped following this excellent partnership. Sarfraz was unfortunately run out in the previous game against South Africa and he seems to make amends with the chances that are being given to him. Ireland have to pull things back by picking up a few quick wickets, but their poor bowling and fielding has added to their woes even further. Live scorecard: Pakistan vs Ireland
