DUBLIN: Ireland were bowled out for 130 in reply to Pakistan´s firstinnings 310 for nine declared — a deficit of 180 runs — as they failed toavoid a follow-on on the third day of their inaugural men´s Test atMalahide on Sunday.

At seven for four, Ireland were in an even worse position before KevinO´Brien made 40.

Mohammad Abbas led Pakistan´s attack with four wickets for 44 runs,followed by Shadab Khan who took three wickets for 31 runs.

Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed´s well-timed declaration left Ireland with atricky 30 minutes to bat before lunch and that was long enough for thehosts to lose a trio of top-order batsmen in 6.1 overs.

Veteran opener Ed Joyce was lbw to Mohammad Abbas for four before fellowopener Andrew Balbirnie, who might have been run out for a duck, was lbw tothe paceman for nought.

Former England one-day international Joyce, arguably Ireland´s greatestbatsman and at 39 the oldest Test debutant since Australia´s Bryce McGainmade his bow aged 36 in 2009, appeared to be a victim of the fact theDecision Review System was not being used in this match because CricketIreland had decided they could not afford the cost for a one-off game.

But while replays suggested the ball that did for left-hander Joyce mayhave pitched outside the line, there was little doubt about the deliverythat dismissed Balbirnie, who had previously had to scramble back to avoidbeing run out by Asad Shafiq´s direct hit from short leg.

Then, with what became the last ball before lunch, Ireland captain WilliamPorterfield fell for one when left-arm quick Mohammad Amir uprooted hisoff-stump.

Abbas then had NJ O’Brien lbwed on duck, and Faheem Ashraf removed Stirlingfor 17.

Shadab Khan then removed Thompson and Kane in the same over to leaveIreland struggling to survive a follow-on.

Earlier, Test debutant Faheem Ashraf top-scored for Pakistan with 83 andtogether with Shadab Khan (55) put on 117 for the seventh wicket.
