Chasing Ireland's 237/9 on Thursday, 9 January, West Indies needed five runs from the last over, while the visitors were just a wicket away from a win. Paceman Mark Adair gave away just one run off the first two balls, while the next two saw two missed run-out opportunities.
Cottrell was short of his crease at the bowling end when Adair disturbed the stumps; however, after the review, the West Indian survived as it was unclear whether the ball was in contact with Adair's hand when he splintered the bails. The next ball saw a mix-up between the two batsmen, but Cottrell made it to the crease right on time.
