FOUR! That spoils the over a bit! George Dockrell bowls a bit too short and around off. Matt Renshaw is quick to get on his back foot and crunches it through covers for a boundary after 17 balls.

Shortish ball, on middle, Marcus Stoinis heaves it flatly off the inner half of the bat. Harry Tector runs in off the ropes and dives forward but the ball half volleys and hits his right wrist before rolling away for two runs. Regardless, a fine effort in the deep by Harry.

Slower length ball, on the stumps, Marcus Stoinis pulls it to deep mid-wicket and scampers through for the second run. Harry Tector again sprints in from the deep and gets rid of the ball to the bowling end, but misses his shy. A direct hit would have been interesting there.

 Fine running by these two! Back of a length, outside off, Marcus Stoinis hangs back and steers through backward point for two more.

On a short of a length, Marcus pulls it off the back foot to deep mid-wicket for another run.

Another piece of excellent running between the wickets. Lands it around off, an off cutter, on a length that stays low. Matt Renshaw waits on it and pulls it along the ground, wide of deep mid-wicket and they sprint back for the second run. This brings up the 50-run partnership between Renshaw and Stoinis. They have worked very hard out there in the heat and humidity, but more importantly, have hung in there, keeping the dot-ball percentage very low.

 FOUR! Top shot! Barry goes slow again, and hits the deck hard, on off. Matt Renshaw stays back and bludgeons it over the bowler, bisecting long on and long off to perfection for a boundary. 13 runs from the over.

Short of a length, on off, muscled off the back foot to deep cover for a couple of runs.

 In the air... falls safely! Full and quick, just outside off, Matt Renshaw goes for the reverse sweep, but top edges it over and between the short third and backward point fielders. The short third fielder sprints and dives with his hands stretched in front, but it stays out of his reach. Two taken.

OUT! BOWLED! A threatening 61-run partnership is broken for the fifth wicket. A back-of-a-length projectile from Humphreys, aimed straight at the stumps going in with the arm, 110.2 kph. Renshaw hangs back, trying to nudge it on the leg side, but he is late as the excessive pace does him in. Gets an inside edge, and the stumps are rattled. A fine 37 off 33 for Renshaw and Australia are 149/5.

Nearly another! Matthew Humphreys fires in a yorker, just on off. Cooper Connolly is late to get his bat down and fails to dig it out. The ball just goes past the off pole.

DROPPED! A big chance goes begging here. Short of a length and outside off, Marcus Stoinis backs away and slaps it but does not connect with it from the middle. He shouts 'No, no' as the ball flies towards extra cover. Gareth Delany dives low to his left but fails to hold on to it. Stoinis will look to make the Irish pay now in these last few overs.

A lot of elixir in the tank despite humidity. Short of a length, climbing on the shoulder height, on middle. Marcus Stoinis waits, waits, and waits for it before pulling it to the deep mid-wicket region. The call is for two as the fielder gets across and gets rid of the ball. Stoinis does not slide his bat in, just skates through to get in as the fielder scores a direct hit at the batting end. He though, is comfortably in.

 SIX! MUSCLED! Short and into the pitch. Mark takes the pace off and keeps the line of attack on middle. Marcus Stoinis climbs on it and blasts it beyond deep square leg for a big six.

Length ball drifting in, a slower one. Stoinis tries to clip it on the leg side but gets a leading edge. It trickles into the vacant mid off region, and they sneak a couple of runs.

OUT! CAUGHT! Massive blow for Australia. A low full toss by Adair, on the pads. It is there to be hit, but Marcus Stoinis fails to get underneath it and whips it off the inner half of the bat. The ball dips towards deep backward square leg, where Ben Calitz runs a few yards ahead, gets crouched and takes it with a reverse cup. He doesn't look comfortable, but he balances himself up eventually. A well-constructed 45 off 29 from Marcus Stoinis as he is extremely frustrated with himself for not putting that all the way. Australia are 159/6.

Good length, on the stumps, nudged off the back foot to mid-wicket.

Back of a length around the fourth stump, driven off the back foot to the right of deep point for a brace.

On back of a length, over middle and off, Cooper Connolly gets on the toes and bunts it to short cover.

Slowish short ball, on leg, Cooper Connolly swivels and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a run.

Takes pace off again, short and on top of the stumps. Xavier Bartlett stands tall and swats it towards long on and they hare back for the second run.

WIDE! Tries to keep far from the arc, but misfires it beyond the tramline, outside off. Xavier is happy to see that off. Wide called.

 FOUR! POWERED AWAY! An off cutter, outside off, on a hard length. Xavier Bartlett plays with a flat batted angle and spanks it gun-barrel straight down the ground, beating long off's dive to his right for a cracking boundary.

 Big heave and a miss! Barry runs from around the stump and hurls it across the batter, taking the pace off, on a length. Xavier Bartlett swings for the hills, only to connect a handful of air. 10 from the penultimate over for Australia. 20 from the last 2.

Not a wide! Adair pushes the line outside off, bowls a slower one, Cooper lets it go, but the ball flirts with the tramline and stays within before bouncing back to the keeper. Good execution.

SIX! CLUBBED! Mark slips in a full toss, outside off, and goes pace on this time around. Cooper Connolly waits for it to arrive, stands tall and nails the pull shot over the leg side. It is hit with the wind and it sails into the stands behind deep mid-wicket.

Full and outside off, Cooper Connolly looks to go for an expansive drive to the off side but inside edges it past the stumps to short fine leg for a quick single.

 FOUR! Unlucky for Ireland. A deceptive off cutter, outside off, on a good length. Xavier Bartlett tries to fetch it from the wide line and looks to pull, but gets in an awkward shape due to the lack of pace. Only manages a thick inside edge as the ball rolls to the keeper's left and beats him on the dive before racing to the fence behind.

In-dipping full toss on the pads, this is whipped to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Nips away with extra bounce, outside off, short in length. Cooper Connolly plays a half-hearted pull shot and doesn't complete the follow-through. The ball is sliced over the leg side and lands in thereabouts of mid-wicket. The fielder from square leg runs across and collects on the bounce. Just a single. 13 runs from the final over. AUSTRALIA FINISH AT 182/6.
