| 0.4 : 0.4: D Willey to P Stirling, OUT! Caught! Stirling falls right in the trap and the dangerous man is out in the very first over of the game. Early breakthrough for the hosts and Willey strikes. Good length ball on middle and leg, it comes in a bit. Stirling looks to flick but his top hand comes off the handle and he is a bit early in his shot. Hence he ends up hitting it uppishly straight to short mid-wicket who is there for this particular mistake. Eoin Morgan there makes no mistake and takes an |
| 2.1 : 2.1: D Willey to A Balbirnie, OUT! Caught! Willey strikes again and Ireland in big trouble in the third over itself. Full and wide outside off, Balbirnie's eyes lit up and he cannot resist the temptation to drive it. He goes for it and ends up getting a thick outside edge which goes straight to Bairstow behind the stumps. Ireland's two best and experienced batters are back in the pavilion without making much impact. |
| 3.1: S Mahmood to G Delany, EDGED AND FOUR! First boundary off the innings and not a conventional one. Good length ball on off and middle, it shapes away a bit as well. Delany looks to defend but gets a thick outside edge which goes past the diving second slip fielder and to the fence. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: S Mahmood to G Delany, FOUR! This time a shot of authority! Mahmood overcompensates with a short ball, Delany gets on his back foot and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: S Mahmood to G Delany, FOUR! Hat-trick of boundary and the best of the lot! Overpitched on off, Delany gets on his front foot and creams it through covers for a superb boundary. |
| 4.3: D Willey to G Delany, FOUR! First time Willey has been treated with anger. Delany comes down the track and takes this length ball on the full and lofts it over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: D Willey to G Delany, FOUR! Through the off side this time! Delany looks to be in the mood! Good length delivery just outside off, nothing much wrong with the delivery but Delany manages to stroke it through point and backward point for a boundary. |
| 5.4: S Mahmood to H Tector, OUT! Chopped on! Not the start to his ODI career Tector would have been looking for as he walks out for a duck on his maiden outing! Good length ball just outside off, it is not wide or short enough to cut but Tector goes for the cut. He ends up getting an underedge which unfortunately for him goes onto hit the stumps. He looks at his uprooted off pole in disappointment. Mahmood gets his first of the game and the hosts are all over their neighbors. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: D Willey to G Delany, OUT! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal there and hardly a reaction there from the England players. Willey get another one and this time it is Delany who departs. A wide ball outside off, Delany cuts and cuts hard. The man at point though goes to his right and takes a very good catch with the ball travelling fast. Ireland lose another wicket and they are in tatters here. They need a strong partnership from somewhere now. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: D Willey to L Tucker, OUT! LBW! Willey gets another one and he is on a hat-trick now! Lorcan Tucker departs and half the side for Ireland is back in the hut. A good length ball around the leg pole line, it pitches and straightens. Tucker looks to defend but misses to get hit on the pads. England put in a huge appeal but denied by the umpire. After some waiting England go for the review. Ultra Edge shows no spike. Ball Tracker comes in and THREE REDS, it is pitching inside the line and hitt |
| 9.6 : 9.6: S Mahmood to C Campher, FOUR! First boundary in ODIs for Campher. A fuller one from Mahmood, Campher leans into the drive and cleanly drives it through the cover. It races away to the fence. End of Powerplay 1 and the scoreboard tells you which way it has gone. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Tom Curran to C Campher, FOUR! Campher getting in his groove. Shortish from Curran, Campher gets on his back foot and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: A Rashid to C Campher, FOUR! Cut away nicely! Campher looks like a real talent. Short and wide outside off, Campher cuts it late behind point and gets a boundary as Morgan comes second best in the chase. |
| 21.1 : 21.1: A Rashid to K O'Brien, OUT! CAUGHT! O'Brien is out of here! He was looking good but one would assume he has thrown his wicket away. A loopy ball outside off from Rashid, O'Brien fails to control himself and tries to go inside out but instead mistimes it straight to Willey at long off. |
| 21.5 : 21.5: A Rashid to S Singh, OUT! RUN OUT! Another one bites the dust and Ireland are falling apart. There was never a run there. Rashid floats this full and just around off, Singh pushes it towards cover and takes off for a single. Campher says no but he has taken off. Banton gets to the ball and throws it to the keeper as Singh tries to get back. However, he has got a lot of ground to make and he falls short as Bairstow collects and whips the bails off. |
| 27.5: A Rashid to C Campher, FOUR! Tonked! This will release some pressure. A floated ball on middle, Campehr gets in the position and lofts it over mid-wicket and bags a boundary. |
| 34.6 : 34.6: M Ali to A McBrine, SIX! Bang! This one is out of here. Tossed up on off and middle, McBrine heaves it right off the meat and deposits the ball in the empty stand over mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 35.6: Tom Curran to A McBrine, TOP EDGE AND FOUR! Brings up the 50-run stand between Campher and McBrine! Ireland needed this to get some respectability in the total and these two have done that. Job not done so far, they need to carry on and maybe change gears after a while. Bumper from Tom, McBrine looks to pull but top edges it over the keeper's head for a boundary. |
| 37.3 : 37.3: Tom Curran to A McBrine, FOUR! Driven nicely! Fullish and outside off, McBrine stays put and drills it through the cover region to get a boundary. |
| 37.4 : 37.4: Tom Curran to A McBrine, FOUR! Curran goes full and Mcbrine this time drills it through point to get another boundary. |
| 37.6 : 37.6: Tom Curran to A McBrine, OUT! GONE THIS TIME! The aggressive approach has cost McBrine his wicket. A short ball around off and middle, McBrine takes him on and goes for pull but fails to connect. It goes towards deep square leg where Billings lunges forward to take the catch. |
| 41.2 : 41.2: S Mahmood to B McCarthy, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the fielder. A length ball angled in, McCarthy flicks it powerfully. He thinks that he will clear the man but picks out Vince at deep square leg. Second wicket for Mahmood. |
| 43.1 : 43.1: S Mahmood to C Young, FOUR! Useful runs! A fuller ball around off, Young chips it past Mahmood and the ball races to the long off fence. Mahmood tried to catch but it went really quickly. |
| 44.4 : 44.4: D Willey to C Young, OUT! CAUGHT! There's the fifer! Willey is all smiles as he gets his first fifer in his ODI career. Another length ball around off, Young clears his front leg and tries to send it into orbit but the ball hits the toe end of the bat and balloons towards mid off. Roy there lunges forward and gobbles it nicely. IRELAND ARE ALL OUT FOR 172! |
| 2.5 : 2.5: A McBrine to J Bairstow, OUT! LBW! Excellent review from McBrine and Balbirnie and Ireland have struck early. Do not go anywhere ladies and gentleman, Ireland have hope in this game. Beautiful delivery from McBrine. He bowls it slow and gives it a lot of air on off, Bairstow looks to defend but the off-break turns and he gets hit on the pad. McBrine and co. go up in an appeal but the umpire turns it down. McBrine and Balbirnie have a chat and the skipper decides to go for the review. Replay |
| 4.5: A McBrine to J Roy, SIX! Slogged away! He finally connects one and sends it sailing over mid-wicket for a biggie. Loopy ball around middle, Roy gets in position and hammers it over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: C Young to J Roy, FOUR! Short and outside off, Roy looks to cut but gets an under edge and the ball races down to the third man fence. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: C Young to J Roy, FOUR! Another one! This one is angled into the pads of Roy by Young. Roy tickles it down to fine leg and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: C Young to J Roy, OUT! LBW! Gets his man this time. Dead plumb! Ireland are not giving up so early. They have send both the openers packing and would think they are clearly in the game. Slightly shortish in length, around off and middle, it hurries to the batsman as Roy fails to put bat on ball and gets hit on the pads. Ireland appeal and the umpire raises the finger. Roy doesn't think of review and keeps walking. |
| 7.3: C Young to J Vince, FOUR! Lovely timing from Vince! Too full and just outside off, Vince punches it firmly through mid off and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: C Young to J Vince, FOUR! Two in a row! This is once again full but on the pads, Vince picks it early and flicks it nicely through mid-wicket. The fielders give it a chase but the ball wins the race. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: C Young to J Vince, FOUR! Hammered! Vince is taking Young on here! Slightly shortish and around off, Vince gets in position and powers it through mid-wicket to bag third boundary of the over. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: A McBrine to J Vince, FOUR! Runs coming thick and fast from Vince. Fullish ball around off, Vince sits down and times his sweep to perfection. No chance for anyone to get to the ball as it races to the deep square leg fence. |
| 9.3: C Young to J Vince, FOUR! Off the outside edge! Shortish ball outside off, Vince looks to hammer it but gets a thick outside edge. The ball goes past Stirling at first slip and into the fence. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: C Young to J Vince, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Ireland and Young have another one. Vince got start again but like all his career, he has thrown it away. Slightly fuller ball outside off, Vince without any feet movement goes for the drive and ends up edging it behind. A regulation catch for Tucker. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: C Young to Sam Billings, FOUR! That is put away! Short delivery on middle, Billings pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: C Young to Sam Billings, FOUR! Another one! Young once again tries to bowl a bumper but this doesn't rise much. Billings is quickly into the position to hammer it through mid-wicket for another boundary. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: A McBrine to Tom Banton, FOUR! Nicely swept! Flighted delivery on middle, Banton sweeps it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: C Campher to Tom Banton, OUT! Caught! Banton's out of here! Campher's debut keeps getting better and better. He got the better of Banton a couple of year's ago in the Under-19 World Cup when the pacer was wearing for South Africa's green now he has got him again while wearing the green of Ireland. Campher hits the deck hard around off, the ball raises a bit off the surface. That does Banton as he looks to pull but gets a top edge which lobs in the air and goes in front of the keeper. Lorca |
| 13.5 : 13.5: C Campher to E Morgan, FOUR! The skipper is off the mark! Shortish and outside off, Morgan hangs on the back foot and taps it through point to get a boundary. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: S Singh to Sam Billings, FOUR! Nice improvisation! Floated delivery on middle, Billings plays a reverse sweep towards third man for a boundary. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: S Singh to Sam Billings, FOUR! This is good batting from Billings! On off, Billings plays a reverse sweep through point for a boundary. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: C Campher to Sam Billings, FOUR! Pulled away powerfully! Short ball on middle, Billing hammers it towards deep square leg. The fielder there dives to stop but the ball sneaks under him. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: C Campher to Sam Billings, FOUR! Billings wants to finish this early. This is exquisite batting from Billings. Fullish and arund off, Billings leans into the shot and punches it through extra cover. The ball races away to the fence. |
| 20.4 : 20.4: A McBrine to E Morgan, FOUR! Good shot! Floated delivery on off, Morgan plays a reverse sweep through point for a boundary. |
| 21.1 : 21.1: C Campher to Sam Billings, FOUR! Good shot but also a poor ball. On the pads and a half volley, Billings flicks it with ease through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 21.2 : 21.2: C Campher to Sam Billings, FOUR! In the air but away! Length ball outside off, Billings cuts it away uppishly wide of the diving point fielder for a boundary. Sam into his fourth gear now. |
| 22.2: A McBrine to E Morgan, FOUR! Did not time it sweetly but was placed really well. Short outside off, Morgan hangs on his back foot and pulls it over cow corner for a boundary. |
| 22.3 : 22.3: A McBrine to E Morgan, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries and the pull now is followed by a sweep. Tossed up on middle and leg, Morgan sweeps it sweetly behind square leg for a boundary. |
| 23.2 : 23.2: C Young to Sam Billings, FOUR! FIFTY FOR BILLINGS! He gets it in style. His 3rd ODI fifty and he has played an absolute gem. Slightly short on off, Billings pulls it in front of square on the leg side and gets to his fifty. He needed this to make a mark and put out a statement and now he will look to finish this game as well. |
| 25.1 : 25.1: C Young to Sam Billings, FOUR! Good timing and the reason why he got a boundary here. Full on off and middle, Billings flicks it right off the meat through mid-wicket. The fielder from deep mid-wicket runs to his left and puts on a dive but fails to stop it. |
| 25.3 : 25.3: C Young to E Morgan, SIX! Bang! Captain Morgan joins the party and wants to finish this off as quickly as possible. Bouncer closer to the body, he times it well and swivels his pull over fine leg for a biggie. |
| 26.4 : 26.4: G Delany to Sam Billings, FOUR! Dragged down by Delany, Billings says thank you very much I will have this for breakfast, lunch and dinner and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 27.5 : 27.5: S Singh to E Morgan, SIX! Bang! Captain Morgan finishes it off in style! Tossed up on middle, Morgan goes downtown and smokes it over long on for a biggie. Comprehensive win for England. THEY WIN BY 6 WICKETS! |
