ENG-W vs IRE-W Live Cricket Score

2 OUT! BOWLED! Smith strikes in her first over and is over the moon. The dot ball pressure was building and Amy tried to up the ante. Linsey offers a good bit of flight on this one, and lands it in front of the off stump. Amy Hunter premeditates the sweep shot and goes through early before the ball dips. It keeps drifting in and beats the bat before gently kissing the off pole. Hunter, who generally provides good starts for her team, departs cheaply. Ireland Women are 8/1 after 2 overs. 8/1

4.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Dean proves too hot to handle for Alana. A touch couple of yards behind the fuller length, on the off stump. Alana Dalzell leans on to smash it past covers, but she cannot keep it along the ground and hits it off the toe end of the bat as the ball seemingly holds on the surface. Offers a simple catching practice to Freya Kemp who dives a bit forward and snaps it nicely. Ireland Women are falling apart early as they are reduced to 25/3. 25/3

2.5 OUT! TAKEN EASILY! That's a massive, massive blow for the Irish side as their skipper falls on a golden duck. That's a little unlucky for Gaby Lewis as the shot was on with fine leg up in the ring. Bell bowls it full and keeps the line of attack on the stumps, with the ball nipping in from middle to leg. Another premeditated shot attempted by the Irish batter. This time, Gaby Lewis shuffles far across the stumps to play the scoop shot, gets the right connection but finds the only fielder stationed there at short fine leg. Heather Knight takes a dolly to her right and Ireland Women are 16/2 in 2.5 overs. 16/2

9.3 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Gibson strikes back and picks up her first wicket. On a good length, a lot closer to being cut. Orla Prendergast goes for a late cut but gets it chopped off the under-edge back onto the off-pole. The ball hits the off stump and the bails get dislodged. Orla Prendergast departs after scoring 26 and Ireland Women 57/5. 57/5

8.5 OUT! STUMPED! Excellent work from Amy Jones, behind the stumps, helps England get their 4th of the game. Arm-delivery, angling into the batter and going down the leg side. Rebecca Stokell shimmies down the track and looks to hit this over mid on but misses out and the ball sneaks past her inside edge and beats the leg pole as well. Amy is swift to move to her left and gather this fairly behind the stumps and removes the bails in a flash. Rebecca Stokell is out of her crease and has no chance of retreating. 53/4

15 OUT! LBW! Another one bites the dust. Nicely flighted up on the stumps with an in-drift. Paul comes forward with a half stride and looks to work it into the leg side, but plays all around it completely. The ball beats the inside edge and thuds into the back leg right in front of the sticks. A confident appeal and up goes the finger. Paul opts against burning a review as she knows it is dead straight. The UltraEdge later shows the ball projected to crash into the leg stump. Ireland Women are 82/7 after 15 overs. 82/7

14 OUT! CAUGHT! Paul falls now and problems just keep rising for Ireland. Wicket number 2 for Danielle Gibson. Hits the hard length and angles in on the stumps. Tector shimmies down the track and looks to loft it down the ground but gets no timing at all. Hits it off the inner half, chipping it straight to mid on where Sciver-Brunt pouches a simple reverse cup catch in front of her face. Ireland Women slide further down and are 78/6 with their innings going absolutely nowhere. 78/6

18.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Ecclestone picks up her second wicket. Flighted delivery, around off, turning away from the right-hander. Arlene Kelly goes for a slog sweep. But the ball spins after landing on the seam, and she ends up slicing this from the outside edge towards Heather Knight at backward point. Knight runs forward, makes no mistake and takes it with a reverse cup. 98/8

18.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Sophie gets her third of the game. Bowled slower through the air on the stumps, 79.8 kph. Murray comes forward with a big stride and goes for the lofted shot down the ground, but there is no power or timing behind the shot. Capsey at mid on runs to her left and takes a good catch on the edge of the ring. Ireland are 9 down now. 100/9

4.1 OUT! TAKEN! Aimee Maguire strikes on her return to the attack. She tosses it up, full and on off, Amy Jones backs away and tries to loft it over extra cover but her bat turns in her hands. She ends up mistiming it high in the air wide of mid off, where Gaby Lewis moves to her left, keeps her eyes on the ball and takes a good catch, tumbling on the ground. England Women are 27/1, chasing 119 runs. 27/1

4.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Double strike from Aimee Maguire and both English openers are back in the hut now. This is flighted again, full and on off, Danni Wyatt-Hodge skips down the track, stays leg side of the ball and tries to clear the in-field on the off side but only manages to get a bit of a top edge. The ball flies towards mid off, where Gaby Lewis settles under it and takes a fine reverse cup catch. 27/2

5.4 OUT! KNOCKED HER OVER! That's a seriously good ball to dismiss an in-form batter. Prendergast responds with a fiery yorker, aimed at the stumps. Alice Capsey stays leg side of the ball and looks to drive it straight but plays inside the line of the ball and is beaten all ends up. The ball rattles the stumps behind. Excellent comeback by Prendergast and England are in a bit of a bother now. They are 35/3 after 5.4 overs, needing 84 runs. 35/3

13.5 OUT! LBW! Excellent review from Ireland Women. Orla Prendergast serves this in the blockhole, on middle. Heather Knight takes a couple of steps forward to work it across the line but misses and gets hit on the pad. This one looks close and there is a big shout for LBW, but it is turned down. Ireland Women take a review here. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds, with the ball crashing into the middle and leg stumps. The on-field call is overturned and the Knight will be disappointed not to be there till the end. 99/4

16.3 OUT! FREYA KEMP IS RUN OUT! This is a bit untidy by England towards the end. Fuller in the length, outside off. Gibson punches it towards cover and sets off for the run. The throw from Aimee Maguire back to the keeper is not quite on target, but Amy Hunter does brilliantly to collect it to her left, fling herself towards the stumps and break them in one motion. Kemp cannot make her ground in time. The celebrations are very lowkey from Ireland, though, as England need just 8 runs to win from 21 balls. 111/6
