ENG vs IRE Live Cricket Score

6.1 OUT! CAUGHT! There goes the first one. Pitched up on the off-stump line. Philip Salt looking to play the uppish cover drive, mistimes the ball straight into the hands of Paul Stirling standing at covers and Ireland pick up the first wicket. 55/1

31.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Will Jacks just miss out on his maiden ODI hundred! George Dockrell floats this up full and around middle, Will Jacks goes down on one knee to slog-sweep it away but the turn away and bounce gets the top edge of his bat and the ball travels high in the air towards deep mid-wicket where Andy Balbirnie settles under it to take a fine catch. A fantastic knock nonetheless from Jacks! England four down now! 205/4

6.3 OUT! LBW! That's the second for the over. What a comeback by Ireland. Pitched up with a hint of inswing on the off stump, Zak Crawley is a bit late into his defensive shot getting hit on the back leg, and that looks plumb in front of the stumps. The umpire raises the finger in a flash and England loses their second. 56/2

23.3 OUT! CAUGHT! On the pads pitched up from around the wicket. Ben Duckett looking to be cheeky playing the scoop moving across, times the ball well but Mark Adair standing at short fine leg moves to his left and pouches it safely. England lose their third as Ireland gets a much-needed breakthrough! 158/3

49.2 OUT! TAKEN! Barry McCarthy strikes! Another English debutant misses out on a hundred, but Sam Hain has played a brilliant innings here. This is full and around middle, Sam Hain moves across and tries to whip it over mid-wicket but closes the face of the bat early and gets a leading edge as the ball goes high in the air behind the bowler where Andy McBrine from mid off runs to his right and takes a good catch. England eight down now! 328/8

35.1 OUT! TAKEN! George Dockrell strikes again! Jamie Smith fails to make much impact on his debut. This is tossed up and around middle, Jamie Smith skips down the track to slog it away but fails to get under it and his bat turns in his hand as he hits it in the air towards wide long on where Joshua Little settles under it and takes a fine catch. England lose half their side now! 223/5

44 OUT! TAKEN! Joshua Little gets a wicket now! A nice little cameo from Brydon Carse comes to an end now. Little bangs this onto the pitch again around off, sticks to the surface a bit, Brydon Carse hops up to slap it away but mistimes it in the air wide of short covers where Paul Stirling dives to his right to take a good catch. England six down now! 286/6

46.1 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Mark Adair bowls a high full toss, on middle, Rehan Ahmed looks to slog it away but gets hurried and loses his grip and ends up lobbing it towards mid off where Barry McCarthy takes a simple catch. Ahmed looks at the umpire to see if that is above waist height but nothing doing. England seven down now! 300/7

4 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Or is it? George Scrimshaw is not celebrating as he is waiting for the confirmation that it is a legal delivery. It is and everybody celebrates now with him and even umpire Rod Tucker gives him a pat on the back. George Scrimshaw lands this on a good length and around off, nips away a bit this time, Andy Balbirnie looks to push it away with a straight bat but only manages to get an outside edge towards first slip where Ben Duckett dives forward to take a good low catch. Ireland lose their first wicket! 46/1

4.1 OUT! BOWLED'EM! TWO IN TWO FOR ENGLAND! Absolute screamer of a delivery this from Matthew Potts to send Paul Stirling back to the hut. Potts serves this full and around off, shaping in sharply, Paul Stirling looks to play at it without much footwork and there is huge gap between bat and pad as he also gets an inside edge back onto the stumps. Ireland lose both openers in a blink of an ey! 46/2

8.4 OUT! CAUGHT-BEHIND! Matthew Potts with a great comeback and gets rid of Curtis Campher now. He lands this on a hard length and around off, angling in and then straightens a bit, Curtis Campher stays there and looks to fend it with an angled bat but only manages to get the faintest of nicks behind where Ben Duckett makes no mistake. Ireland three down and in a spot of bother now! 69/3

19.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! England continue to take their catches and this one is even better by Will Jacks! Rehan Ahmed offers flight, full and on off and middle, invites the batter to go down the ground. Harry Tector accepts the invitation and looks to get underneath the delivery to clear mid off. Skies it high in the air towards mid off where Will Jacks back tracks and keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through and makes a tough catch look easy. Ireland have now lost half their side. 121/5

14.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Stunning catch by Ben Duckett and George Scrimshaw has his second wicket! This is bowled short and outside off, Lorcan Tucker hangs back in the crease and gets tempted by the length of the delivery. Looks to pull it off the front foot and does time it well. Fails to find the gap and picks out the mid-wicket fielder. Ben Duckett reacts quickly and takes a sharp catch to his preferred left side. Ireland lose Tucker and they are now 4 down. 103/4

31.5 OUT! TAKEN! Rehan Ahmed strikes for the fourth time! He bowls the googly again, quicker, full and on middle, turning in, George Dockrell backs away to slog it away but fails to get fully under it and mistimes it in the air towards long on where Philip Salt pouches it safely. A decent knock from Dockrell comes to an end and England two wickets away from the win now! 188/8

23.5 OUT! TIMBER! Rehan Ahmed with an absolute beauty! Andy McBrine goes back for a low score here. Ahmed floats this googly up, full and on middle, grips and turns away a shy but, Andy McBrine prods forward to defend but plays completely down the wrong line and the ball goes through to rattle the stumps. Ireland six down now! 137/6

25.4 OUT! LBW! Rehan Ahmed has three now! Another beautiful piece of bowling! He tosses up the goggly once again around off, grips and turns in sharply, Mark Adair prods forward to defend but he too plays down the wrong line and gets hit on the pads. There is a huge appeal for LBW, and up goes the finger. Adair takes the review but UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking indicates two reds and impact is umpire's call. So, the on-field decision remains and Adair has to make that long walk back now. England three wickets away from the win now! 157/7

38.3 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Top delivery by Brydon Carse to get into the wicket-taking act! Comes from over the wicket and bowls it on a yorker length, on middle. Nails the yorker to perfection and the ball sneaks under the bat. Barry McCarthy fails to get his bat down in time and sees his woodwork disturbed. End of a fighting knock by McCarthy. England are now a wicket away from sealing a comprehensive victory. 231/9

46.4 OUT! CAUGHT! THAT'S IT! George Scrimshaw finishes with three wickets! Bowls it in the slot, on middle and leg, Joshua Little backs away and targets the straight fence again. Gets it off the bottom part of the bat and holes out to Brydon Carse at long on who does the resy. England win by 48 runs! 286/10
