They were cutting, pulling or lobbing straight down the ground with striking proficiency, and had karma on their side when edges flew through empty zones. Ireland saw a catch removed a no ball and furthermore a botched a run out opportunity on the primary wad of the innings however were generally slow on the field.
They disintegrated further as the batting pair went in all out attack mode and broke a large number of records, including that of the most noteworthy regularly opening stand as two openers went past 150 without precedent for an innings.

Andrew Balbirnie, who started the fix work with Kevin O’Brien, was then struck on the head by a bouncer from Shannon Gabriel and removed the field, however would come back to bat later in the day.
