Zimbabwe now 27/0 from 6 overs.

Zimbabwe off to a sedate start. 3/0 after the first 3 overs.

#ZIMvIRE Another one goes down, this time @Craig_Ervine77 the culprit.Joyce has another life. #backyourboys
— Zimbabwe Cricket (@ZimCricketv) March 7, 2015

A timely reminder that Joyce was dropped when he was on 34. Could prove to be a hugely decisive factor in the outcome of this game.

Meanwhile a 96 ball 100 from Ed Joyce is setting up Ireland quite well......
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) March 7, 2015

Joyce gets to his century off just 96 balls.

HUNDRED! Magnificent innings from Ed Joyce! His 1st World Cup Century, just 96 balls for the innings #Ire 191 for 2 pic.twitter.com/U1UHbMq27T
— ICC (@ICC) March 7, 2015

Ireland 186/2 from 36 overs.

Joyce approaching a well-deserved century. On 96 currently.

Raza continues and Balbirnie picks up a good two first up, 166-2 #BackingGreen
— Cricket Ireland (@Irelandcricket) March 7, 2015

Want 280 plus from Ireland to feel in any way comfortable with they ropey bowling. 300 and more and I am very happy
— Peter Miller (@TheCricketGeek) March 7, 2015

Two dots to finish so nine from the over and 146-2 at the 30 over mark, Joyce and Balbirnie setting this up nicely #BackingGreen

— Zimbabwe Cricket (@ZimCricketv) March 7, 2015

Short from Raza, and Joyce onto it in a flash and that's the first six of the innings! 110-2 #BackingGreen
— Cricket Ireland (@Irelandcricket) March 7, 2015

Well played, Ed Joyce! Gets to his 50 with a boundary.

Sean Williams dismisses Porterfield as the Ireland captain lobs a simple catch to mid-off. Ireland now 79/2.

DROPPED! Joyce hits one very high and Mupariwa tries to catch it from his own bowling but he can't hold on to it #BackingGreen
— Cricket Ireland (@Irelandcricket) March 7, 2015

Porterfield gets one into the gap on the off side, but not enough on it to reach the boundary, 72-1 #BackingGreen

Five from the over and score moves to 64-1, much better over in terms of getting singles and rotating strike #BackingGreen
