Opening batsman Seren Waters and his skipper Steve Tikolo will look to cement their partnership Tuesday after helping Kenya claw its way back into contention on the third day of the ICC Intercontinental Cup match. The hosts trailed the Irish by 246 runs in the game which they need a draw to qualify to the final and meet Namibia in South Africa next month. The 18-year-old Waters, who was called to the Kenyan side for the match despite holding a British passport, made 65 runs in the second innings to help restore some parity after Kenya were reduced to 186 in their first innings. He featured in an unbroken partnership of 71 with veteran Tikolo (41) at the end of play, chasing Ireland's 578 for 4. The O'Brien brothers, Niall and Kevin and Andre Botha put Ireland in commanding position when they each posted centuries to set up the huge score. Kevin O'Brien's unbeaten 171, which included 12 sixes was the highest score by an Irish batsman in one innings. |
