Join Ashish for the chase in a while to see where this goes, as both teams seek early points in the Qualifier.

Barry: "Perfect score to set up an enthralling chase. Both teams will fancy their chances. Who will hold their nerve?"

Harry Tector: "That's a pretty big score... the pitch is two-paced. It certainly wasn't easy today. Not as easy to get out of jail if you feel under pressure. George Dockrell absorbed the pressure when he needed to. Getting to the World Cup will be huge. If this group was to get there, it would be a massive achievement."

12.42pm Are Ireland 20 short, or did they manage that many more considering they kept losing wickets each time they threatened to go big? They began with a solid opening stand of 51, before losing 3 for 18. Tector then hit 52 while trying to revive his side with briefly-recovering partnerships, while four batters fell in the range of 20 to 26. Eventually though, it was all about the final flourish from Dockrell, whose ODI best of 91* ensures Ireland walk away with the momentum.

Bilal Khan to Dockrell, SIX, He will end unbeaten on 91 with that huge six over wide long-on. Length ball - right in the slot a batter would love - after brilliant execution of yorkers so far, as he got his front leg out of the way to clobber that ball on a stump-to-stump line

Bilal Khan to Dockrell, no run, dipping delivery dying on leg stump, as he backs away to try and sweep. He misses the low full toss, and the ball trickles to the keeper off his pad

Bilal Khan to Dockrell, FOUR, just over the deep-midwicket fielder! The ball bursts though Ayaan's fingers, as he keeps rushing to his left and reacting late. He overran too, and that didn't help. Dockrell slogged that across the line

Can Dockrell take Ireland to 280?
