Ireland's Tyrone Kane walks off the field after being bowled out by Mohammad Abbas on day five of the International Test Match at The Village, in Dublin, Ireland.

Ireland set Pakistan a victory target of 160 after getting bowled out for 339 just over half an hour into the final day of their one-off test match on Tuesday.

Kevin O’Brien failed to add any runs to his overnight score of 118 before swinging at a wide delivery from Mohammad Abbas and edging to first slip. It was the first ball he faced.

Abbas also took the wickets of Boyd Rankin (6) and Tyrone Kane (14), who were both bowled, to finish with figures of 5-66. He had nine wickets for the match.
