Tremendous finish in prospect at the Gabba. Ireland nose ahead. Should win if K O'Brien stays in a few overs.

65 required of 46 balls. Kevin O'Brien is 28* of 15 balls and is going all guns blazing at the UAE bowlers.

DROPPED and FOUR! Big moment as Kevin O'Brien is put down on the rope and it goes over for four http://t.co/n77CNfQxOk #cwc15 #IREvUAE

Gary Wilson records a 49-ball 50, his 8th fifty in ODIs. IRE score 33/1 in the 5-over batting powerplay. Need 95 off 60 #IREvUAE #CWC15

Ireland 167/4 (38.0 overs). Ireland require another 112 runs with 6 wickets and 12.0 overs remaining.

30 Overs Gone Ireland are 120 for 4 chasing 279 to win http://t.co/n77CNfQxOk Tauqir the man for UAE #cwc15 #IREvUAE http://t.co/tLcGDHiJrc

OUT! Captain Taquir bowls Porterfield for 37, Ireland in trouble 94-3 LIVE http://t.co/GKDeAqIjQ5 #cwc15 #IREvUAE http://t.co/fkTLStFGBh

Ireland 50/1 after 14 overs.

Amjad Javed hits Ed Joyce's stumps. Both LED bails pop up and light up, and then both fall back into their grooves. Not out. #CWC15

Still can't believe that happened!! Guruge continues with his sixth over now. #BackingGreen

The next ball inevitably goes for four! Score moves to 40-1 from 11 overs. #BackingGreen

Ed Joyce has his off stump clattered - but the bail jumps back into its groove! Crazy scenes.

The bails lit up but then came to rest back on top of the stumps!!!!! Joyce very lucky!!! #BackingGreen

Shocking....once in a century luck for Ed. Joy for Joyce. #IREvUAE

IRE 21/1 (7.1 Ovs) William Porterfield* 8 (21) Ed Joyce 10 (13) UAE 278/9 (50.0 Ovs) Manjula Guruge* 3.1-0-7-1 Mohammad Naveed 4-1-14-0

If Ireland chase down UAE's 278, they will be level on points with the top teams in Group B. Won't be easy at the Gabba, though #CWC15

So, the players are back after lunch and Ireland start their chase with 4 from the first over.

UAE have recovered brilliantly from 131/6 to post a competitive 278 on the board. They scored 100 runs in the last 10 overs #CWC15 #IREvUAE

End of 50 overs: UAE 278/9. A good comeback!

Anwar gets out at 106(83 balls) after a wonderful knock.

#CWC15: Maiden ODI century for Shaiman Anwar. LIVE: http://t.co/QwJzZIDuu6 #IREvsUAE http://t.co/t2MOZYGOr8

A 'dream come true' moment for Shaiman Anwar. Maiden hundred which comes in a WC match; Let's put our hands together for this lovely knock.

OUT! Ireland breaks the partnership and Javed (42) is OUT, UAE 238-7 LIVE - http://t.co/GKDeAqZVeF #cwc15 #IREvUAE http://t.co/gaGbKNVaF2

UAE 230/6 in 45 overs. Can they post a 280 plus score on the board? Let's see.

UAE have the record 7th wicket partnership at the World Cup. Shaiman Anwar and Amjad Javed. 103(69) now. Something to celebrate. #cwc15

UAE 200/6 in 42 overs. Shaiman Anwar playing the sheet anchor role here.

Shaiman Anwar brings up his third successive ODI fifty. He now has two fifties in #CWC15 #IREvUAE http://t.co/fFRA90KMAc

16 off that O'Brien over & UAE look to get a late surge moving here in Brisbane, 167 for 6 after 39 http://t.co/n77CNfyWWM #cwc15 #IREvUAE

Here's what UAE cricketers do for a living when they are away from cricket.

OUT! The drinks break does the trick for Ireland as Cusack gets his 1st, UAE 131 for 6 http://t.co/n77CNfyWWM #cwc15 http://t.co/vGBRZMkFV5

OUT! Big wicket for Dockrell with Khurram out for 36, UAE 125-5 LIVE http://t.co/GKDeAqZVeF #cwc15 #IREvUAE http://t.co/PSgDRbJ8GQ

Oh no! up goes the finger, LBW appeal given and that's the end of Khurram Khan.

We can see a partnership mushroom here- 45 runs, 10 overs (Khurram Khan 19, Shaiman Anwar 25). UAE 122/4 (31.0 overs)

Ireland may not have the big fast bowlers but have this game under control at this stage. But Khurram Khan looking good again.

Did you know! UAE's captain Khurram Khan is the oldest player to score an ODI hundred. He achieved this feat against Afghanistan, in November 2014, when he was aged 43 years.

25 overs gone and UAE are struggling at 93/4 with their top order back in the pavilion.

How's that for a clever celebration - Kevin O'Brien strikes a Karate Kid pose after catching Krishna Karate #CWC15 http://t.co/tXNC2I2tKD

Another wicket falls! Paul Stirling gets Krishna Chandran Karate for 0. UAE now 53 for 2.

Stirling, with the golden arm, gives Ireland the much needed breakthrough. Soft dismissal for Berenger. 49/1 after 12 #CWC15 #IREvUAE

UAE 31/0 after 7 overs.
