Kevin O'Brien
Ireland were 319 for 7 in their second innings and lead Pakistan by 139 runs after the fourth day of their one-off Test at Malahide Castle.
O'Brien became the first player to score a test century for Ireland and he was there at the close on 118 not out, with his 114-run partnership with Stuart Thompson (53) for the seventh wicket proving decisive.
Mohammed Amir shrugged off a nagging knee problem to be the pick of the bowlers, finishing the day with figures of 3-57 as he reached 100 test wickets.
In the over after Joyce departed, Ireland's number three Andrew Balbirnie suffered a pair, again falling lbw to Abbas, with the hosts' top order in danger of swiftly collapsing once more.
Niall O'Brien and Porterfield could both have been run out but did not make the most of their second lives as Amir produced a brilliant spell.
It looked as if that Irish duo would see Amir's spell off but he rallied with a full delivery that uprooted O'Brien's off and middle stumps - and almost took leg out too - before Porterfield edged behind to Sarfraz off the same bowler.
Ireland began day four of the only Test against Pakistan on 64 without loss but found Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Abbas hard to handle.

Now it just makes me feel like a jerk for having upset some poor person who was trying to make small talk over hummus. Most days, I am sure she wondered what ever happened to her own father - a hopeless and pathetic drunk at that time.
U.S. considering expanding Medicare drug price negotiation
And they propose to appoint a "price gouging" czar with authority to fine drug companies for raising prices beyond certain limits. Implementing such a program, though, raises many questions about what pricing data would be disclosed and under what authority.
The other wicket after lunch was Paul Stirling, trapped lbw by Mohammad Abbas for 11. O'Brien had laid down the gauntlet prior to today's play calling on Ireland to get 160 or more ahead to make a game of it.
Thompson reached his half-century with a fine hook for four but was bowled shortly after by Shadab.
Overly-cautious field placements and Amir's sporadic use were helping, and it was no surprise that it took the return of Pakistan's chief threat to dismiss Gary Wilson, fishing outside off, to give Amir his 100th Test wicket.
O'Brien led Ireland's recovery in their inaugural Test with circumspect batting, with his 67 coming from 120 balls and including seven fours at tea.
But the runs were flowing as Kevin O'Brien and Thompson remained in the middle at the end of the second session, increasing their team's advantage to 32 thanks to a partnership worth 55.
Ireland's lead of 139 has now set up an intriguing final day in Malahide.
