Live Cricket Score: Ireland vs Pakistan, Day 3, Only Test, Dublin

Ed Joyce and William Porterfield have made good use of the chances offered to them and put on a half-century stand. It has been a highly cautious stand but effective much for Ireland.

SLOW MOVING: Both Ed Joyce and William Porterfield have survived one easy dropped chance each to move on without any damage to Ireland in the second innings. They haven't been able to completely curb their urge to poke at deliveries outside off but have been beaten on several occasions to survive. Slow start for the hosts.

For the second time in the day, Ed Joyce and William Porterfield have walked out to open the innings for Ireland. And, drama starts early with Sarfraz Ahmed dropping a regulation catch. After being unfairly given out in the first innings, seems like nature's way of making up to Joyce!
