That's all for me but the cricket just keeps on coming at you!
England v Scotland starts at 09:30 GMT and our live text will be up and running in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
Thanks for looking in.
Ireland captain Lorcan Tucker: "It was a mixed powerplay, we lost a few more wickets than we planned to, but it felt like the pitch was good and we tried to capitalise.
"We got through that tricky middle period, and George and Gareth also played brilliantly towards the end."
We'll have some Lorcan Tucker for you very shortly.
Ireland claim their first points of the tournament with a much-improved performance, good going after the blow of losing skipper Paul Stirling for the rest of the tournament.
Sufyan Mehmood c R Adair b McCarthy 10 (Oman 139)
It's all over as Sufyan Mehmood pulls Barry McCathy to leg, but the ball loops gently up to Ross Adair at midwicket.
Nice from Shah Faisal as the tailender drives Mark Adair back over his head for four, then partner Sufyan Mehmood hooks him around the corner for another off the last.
It's been a quick slide to oblivion from 97-2 in the 11th over.
Shakeel Ahmed c and b Humphreys 5 (Oman 121-9)
The Oman house of cards is collapsing as Shakeel Ahmed lofts Matthew Humphreys straight up, the bowler shouting for it to claim his second wicket.
Nadeem Khan b Little 0 (Oman 115-8)
The tailender backs away and is bowled off his pads.
This will be good for the net run rate as well for Ireland.
Jiten Ramanandi c M Adair b Little 3 (Oman 114-7)
Jiten Ramanandi swipes, the ball loops high into the Colombo sky and Mark Adair pouches it with ease.
Hammad run out 46 (Oman 113-6)
Oh dear. Jiten Ramanandi and Hammad Mirza try for two, but it's never on and Hammad is miles short of his ground.
He is absolutely steaming, gesticulating at his partner and throwing his bat away as he crosses the rope. I can't blame him, he was going well and deserved a 50 at least.
Some consolation for 44 year-old Aamir Kaleem, who became the oldest player to score a 50 at a men's T20 World Cup, besting the previous record holder Sanath Jayasuriya by a year.
Muhammad Nadeem c Delany b Little 1 (Oman 108-5)
The wheels are coming off for Oman.
The new batter doesn't hang around long, lifting a short one straight down the throat of deep square leg.

George Dockrell, refreshed after that slam-bang 35 off just nine deliveries earlier, is into the attack with his left arm spin.
And with his fourth ball he snares Vinayak Shukla!
The ball is driven to cover and straight into Matthew Humphreys' bread-basket.
Target: 236
A bouncer eludes Lorcan Tucker and flies away for wides, seeing Oman past 100.
Aamir c Humphreys b McCarthy 50 (Oman 97-3)
The opener's fun is over, as he lifts the ball towards long leg, only to see Matthew Humphreys run in to take a good catch low in front of him.
Barry McCarthy shakes his fist in relief.

Hammad Mirza fancies this - he lifts Barry McCarthy high over midwicket for six then flicks the next, loose down leg, for another four.
The opener guides McCarthy away for a single to reach 50 off 28 deliveries - an excellent knock.
These two are batting well, but they are getting towards three per ball needed!
Harry Tector's gentle, Kevin Pietersen-esque off spin is next. A short one sits up nicely for Hammad, who has the time to slap it away past cover for four.
It's the halfway stage and Ireland are in the box seat.
Target: 236
Aamir Kaleem steams on, smashing Josh Little past point for four.
More runs from the over sees the partnership move past 50.
