Twenty-two wickets fall in one day in Kenya

Twenty-two wickets fell in just one day on Sunday as Kenya and Ireland clashed in a four-day ICC Intercontinental Cup game.

Ireland were dismissed in their first innings for 75 before the home side were bowled out for 109.

The Irish then steadied the ship by reaching 81 for two by stumps in their second knock.

Left-arm spinners Hiren Varaiya took a career-best 6 for 22 and Shem Ngoche claimed 3 for 11 as Ireland were bowled out first time around in the 34th over.

In reply, Kenya were undone by Irish slow bowlers Albert van der Merwe and George Dockrell who took five wickets each.

In Ireland's second innings, Varaiya and Ngoche claimed a scalp each but experienced opener Ed Joyce finished the day on 51 not out to give the batsmen hope of avoiding further embarrassment.
