Pakistan chiseled out four wickets during the morning session at Malahide, as they closed in on victory in Ireland's inaugural Test. Mohammad Amir was fit enough to bowl a seven-over spell, picking up two wickets - although he then limped off the field once again. Kevin O'Brien and Paul Stirling repaired some of the damage after Ireland were reduced to 95 for 4, but they were still 57 runs from making Pakistan bat again after following on.
Resuming on 64 without loss, Ed Joyce and William Porterfield took their opening stand to 69 before a direct hit from mid-on by Faheem Ashraf saw Joyce run out for 43. Mohammad Abbas then trapped Andy Balbirnie lbw - making him the first Irishman to record a pair in Tests - before Amir rattled the stumps of Niall O'Brien and had Porterfield caught behind during an exacting spell.
