00:00What a way to open the Irish account here on day four.

00:29Shot. Confidence stroke from Andy McBride.

00:40Angled into the pads and he picks that up beautifully.

00:47That's a good shot. That's a very, very good shot.

00:50Gentle half volley. Morkan Tucker shows his class.

00:59Short ball. Pulled away and pulled away beautifully for four.

01:11Outside edge. It'll run away towards third man and it will run away to the boundary.

01:18A bit earlier. What a beautiful stroke.

01:24That is absolutely gorgeous from Andy McBride.

01:37That's gone away for four as well.

01:40Just getting on the tiptoes, rolling the wrists and controlling that for four.

01:45Islander getting a move on here.

01:47But he's also looking to take wickets.

01:52And the legs and whether it's a tickle or whether it's the thigh pad won't matter.

01:57It's off the bats and it's a 50 partnership for Lorkan Tucker and Andy McBride.

02:01It is runs to the bat of Tucker who has taken to test cricket.

02:05Maybe like no other Irish player has.

02:08He's looked fluent. He's looked impressive.

02:11And there's a growing belief ringing around Stormont.

02:15All of a sudden, Ireland might be thinking of a victory.

02:18All six scores now.

02:21And Tucker adds a bit of insult to injury.

02:24He does not chase after it at all.

02:26He says, Joy Lord Gumby, you can go and fetch that one.

02:29In fact, one of the Irish support staff happy to help the visitors out.

02:34Probably a good decision ultimately.

02:37Edge to edge through the gap between second slip and gully.

02:41It's going to be four more.

02:43That's a gap that Zimbabwe might consider needing to plug.

02:47It's right in front of the family and friends section.

02:50Look at all of those.

02:52As easy as it was last night.

02:54Down the track, a stroke of real authority.

02:58Tucker, he's always positive.

03:00He adores test cricket.

03:05Hooked away with really good placement.

03:08There's two men out there.

03:10Tucker splits them with surgical precision.

03:13Ireland are getting closer with every over, with every run.

03:17And it's Tucker that's leading the charge.

03:23Bowls him. He's chopped on.

03:25There's always a twist.

03:27There's always a turn between these two sides.

03:30And just as Ireland started to look comfortable,

03:33it's Muzurabani who has his second wicket of the second innings.

03:37And Zimbabwe, they have life, they have hope.

03:41And when you've got that in the back of your mind as well.

03:46Slashed away, not really where Adair intended it,

03:49but it is four more.

03:5135 runs required to win.

03:54Still no third in place.

03:56You just wonder from a run-saving capacity,

03:58we've seen five, maybe six boundaries down there.

04:02And that ball has been creamed through the covers from Mark Adair.

04:05He's just lengthened that. He's timed it beautifully.

04:08And that ball bounces over the rope for a boundary.

04:11Much to the delight of the crowd in Belfast and Ireland

04:14are down to needing just 20.

04:19Oh, it's a beautiful shot from Mark Adair.

04:21It's a leg stump half volley.

04:24And that ball crosses the rope.

04:26You can hear the delight in the crowd.

04:28Zimbabwe batting lineup.

04:32Pumped down the ground.

04:34And it's going to be the winning moments here.

04:38History in Belfast.

04:40It's a first ever Test match victory on home soil for Ireland.
