William Porterfield gets his seventh One-Day International (ODI) century off 124 deliveries against Pakistan in ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, Pool B match 42 at Adelaide. Porterfield opened the innings with Paul Stirling, who was dismissed very early. Porterfield carried the innings from there on and is making sure that his team set a huge total for Pakistan to chase. Porterfield has been calm so far and has not taken any unnecessary risks. LIVE CRICKET SCORES AND UPDATES: Pakistan (PAK) vs Ireland (IRE) Pakistan will hope that they dismiss Porterfield soon. Ireland still have hard-hitting batsman like Kevin O'Brien to follow. He will be another major wicket that Pakistan will want. Porterfield will hope that someone hangs around with him at the other end so that they have enough wickets in hand in the slog over in their pursuit of getting well past 300. Gary Wilson is also no mug with the bat and is providing good support to Porterfield.  Live scorecard: Pakistan vs Ireland Ireland had earlier won the toss and decided to bat first. Ireland have not made any changes in their playing XI. Pakistan have made a couple of changes in their team with Ehsan Adil and Haris Sohail coming in place of the injured duo of Mohammad Irfan and Younis Khan. Ireland have the psychological advantage going into the game having beaten them in the 2007 World Cup. Live cricket streaming: Pakistan vs Ireland
