After the players took a knee to support Black Lives Matter, Ireland were saved from free fall by international debutant Curtis Campher, a South African-born all-rounder who qualifies through his mother’s passport. Either side of those dismissals Simi Singh was run out after being sent back attempting a quick single. A crisp pull for his ninth four took him to a 41-ball fifty before Morgan (36no) thumped Singh back over his head to finish the game in style.
