Ireland turn things around

Afp, Dublin
Kevin O'Brien wrote a fresh chapter in cricket's record
books by becoming the first Ireland batsman to score a Test century as the hosts turned their debut in the format against Pakistan upside down at Malahide yesterday.
In danger of an innings defeat after being made to follow-on in their inaugural men's Test, Ireland ended the fourth day on 319 for seven in their second innings - a lead of 139 runs -with O'Brien 118 notout.
This was O'Brien's first hundred for Ireland in all formats since he hit the all-time fastest-ever World Cup century by any batsman, off 50 balls, against England at Bangalore in 2011.
And it meant Ireland had a shot at becoming just the fourth side in the 141 -year-history of Test cricket to win a match after following-on.
Ireland were 95 for four when O'Brien, who top-scored with 40 in their first-innings 130, walked into bat on Monday.
But as well as his own composed strokeplay, O'Brien had support from Stuart Thompson in a seventh-wicket stand of 114.
Sarfraz Ahmed became the first Pakistan captain to enforce the follow-on in a Test in 16 years when he sent Ireland back in again on Sunday, a move that may have seen the tourists victorious by now had Ireland openers Ed Joyce and William Porterfield not both been dropped in single figures off Mohammad Amir on the third day.
Ireland resumed on 64 for none but
they lost four wickets before lunch, with Amir taking two for none in six balls - a heartening sign for Pakistan ahead of their two-Test series in England that will feature back-to-back fixtures at Lord's (May 24-28) and Headingley (June 1-5).
Ireland gifted Pakistan an early breakthrough when Joyce ran himslf out for 43 after failed to beat Faheem Ashrafs shy from midwicket.
Amir was on target for the first time on Monday when Niall O'Brien, Kevin's brother, had his stumps uprooted - a wicket greeted with the bowler's familiar arms outstretched celebration.
And 94 for three became 95 for four when Porterfield (32) edged Amir to
wicket-keeper Sarfraz.
Amir took his 100th wicket in 31 matches at this level when Gary Wilson was held in the slips by Haris Sohail.
But Thompson's single off allrounder Faheem meant Pakistan would have to bat again.
O'Brien went steadily through the 90s before a pushed two off Amir saw him to a 186-ball hundred including 10 fours.

Pakistan: First innings 310 for 9 deci
Ireland: First innings 130
Ireland: Second innings 319 for 7 (Joyce 43, Porterfield 32, K O'Brien 118 not out, Thompson 53; Amir 3-57, Abbas 2-54)
