1 run, this is driven through mid on for a single.
Time for a bowling change.
Quicker and shorter, the carrom ball, around middle, Curtis Campher stays back and punches it through mid on for a run.
Very full, outside off, Tector digs it out towards long on for a single.
A touch short, outside off, coming in, Harry Tector stays back and punches it back to the bowler.
Floated fuller on off, Tector pushes it back and AM Ghazanfar makes a diving stop to his left in his followthrough.
Quicker and shorter around off, Curtis Campher rocks back and cuts it to deep backward point for one. 100 UP FOR IRELAND.
Sliding it into the pads, Campher nudges it towards the non-striker.
That's a couple of long overs from Saleem. Without wides, mind you. Ireland have scored 50/2 in the last 10 overs. The run rate is going okay, but they need a fairly decent partnership to put themselves in a good position for the final 10 overs.
MAIDEN FROM SALEEM! Full and straight, Harry Tector pushes it towards mid off.
