14:32 Local Time, 13:32 GMT, 19:02 IST: This is a good total but is it going to be enough? We'll find out in due course. It seemed like Ireland could not hit that fifth gear which would have taken them to a total around 330-340. Stirling and Balbirnie took their time at the start as there was some movement on offer. But the openers got through that period and added a 100+ stand. Balbirnie carried on even after losing his skipper and stitched another big partnership (98 runs) with Tector, he brought up his 9th ODI ton but it came off 131 balls. Tector and Tucker tried to up the ante but could not see the innings through. They crossed 300 off the final ball of the innings. But will Balbirnie's 139-ball 112 came back to hurt them? We'll find out. Chase coming up in 30 mins..
