Ireland remain on course to battle for a place in Test cricket in 2018 after beating Hong Kong by 70 runs in the Intercontinental Cup game at Stormont.
After starting the final day on 199-6, Ireland were bowled out for 230 to leave Hong Kong needing 310 to win.
Nizakat Khan's superb 123 held up Ireland as he shared a ninth-wicket stand of 61 with Nadeem Ahmed.
However, with the score on 239, Peter Chase trapped Ahmed and Khan was then dismissed by Tim Murtagh.
Middlesex seamer Murtagh was the pick of Ireland's bowlers on the final day as his closing dismissal, with Ed Joyce taking a simple catch, brought impressive figures of 4-29.
