Pretty important couple of matches coming up. In both matches both sides are more than capable of beating their opponents. Even at this early stage, I feel if Scotland and Kenya lose both of them will be out of contention for the title, especially Scotland who failed to beat Namibia who I think along with Canada will struggle to win many matches.
Ireland all out for 75! I hope Kenya's batting show up.
Haven't shown up yet. England-esque capitulations again spin.

Kenya 109 all out then. All 20 dismissals caught, only one by the keeper. The last 19 wickets to spin.
I can't believe Kenya didn't just open the bowling with two spinners in the second innings. We've just seen 19/111 fall to spin on the first day and they want to have a go with Odhiambo. If they don't at least open with spin from the other hand it will be a huge WTF moment.

Varaiya bowling from the other end. Sanity prevails. Wonder how many free runs they'll take before bringing Ngoche on from Odhiambo's end.
Odhiambo 3-0-23-0. Now, perhaps?
Hmm Joyce and Stirling swapping roles in the half-century opening stand, or someone's got the names wrong, whatever.
Stating the obvious but a lot rests on what these two can do. Ireland don't have any other left-handed batsmen of note and Kenya's two spinners are left-armers, so these two should find it a lot easier than the rest.
Well Porterfield's gone for a duck, so there goes that.
FTR though, Mooney is a left hand bat. May be down to come in at 8 and may have got out for a duck in the first innings but he's every inch as good a batsman as Cusack and I think he's probably better than White who bats 5.
Too much conservatism perhaps. Anyway, its amazing Varaiya didnt feature in Kenya's World cup squad last year.
I thought they'd go with James rather than Shem Ngoche for that same reason.
I feel this game proves that Ireland are not as close to being ready for Test match cricket as a lot of people seem to think.
