Ireland has an outside chance of winning its inaugural cricket test after Kevin O'Brien led a second-innings recovery with an unbeaten century to lead Pakistan by 139 runs today heading into the final day. Even a draw would be a marvellous achievement for a country which was awarded test status only last June. Mohammed Amir shrugged off a nagging knee problem to be the pick of the bowlers, finishing the day with figures of 3-57 as he reached 100 test wickets. Resuming its second innings on 64 without loss after being asked to follow on and still needing 116 more runs to make Pakistan bat again, Ireland slumped to 123-4 by lunch. Pakistan declared its first innings on 310-9 early on day three.
