Just a tickle through to the keeper, what a disappointing way for Lorcan Tucker to go.

That's a big hit from Lorcan Tucker! Onto the roof of the hospitality tent and he gets his half century.

Lorcan Tucker smashes the ball high over long-off for six - what a way to go to his 10th T20I half-century.

He gets there from 35 balls.

Absolute gimme from Jamie Overton and Harry Tector can't believe he's only got a single from it.

Long hop, the ball sits up but Tector hits it straight to the fielder at fine leg.

Three balls left in the innings.

This is comfortably Ireland's largest score against England in a T20. Their previous best was 157 in Melbourne during the 2022 T20 World Cup, where Ireland won by five runs (via DLS).

200 might just be a little too far for Ireland now.

Full toss and swinging down leg from Sam Curran.

It's a freebie for Harry Tector, who just flicks it away fine for four.

Four more! Thick outside edge this time but fine of short third. They all count for Ireland!

This looks like being a good score for Ireland and they'll be mindful that in their last T20 on this ground, against India in 2023, the tourists piled up 185-5 batting first, and won by 33 runs.

Lorcan Tucker goes big this time and that's a lovely strike.

Smashed dead straight back over Sam Curran's head as he closes in on a half-century of his own.

Adil Rashid was ranked number two in the world for T20 bowling. It's been so noticeable today how he doesn't let any big hits against him affect his bowling.

Half-century for Harry Tector from just 31 balls.

Excellent knock from the Ireland man to take the hosts towards a very competitive total.

That's such a Harry Tector shot. Complete control and power.

Nailed!

Harry Tector gives himself a solid base and wallops a slight drag-down from Adil Rashid into the crowd over mid-wicket.

Clean hitting from the Ireland number three.

Harry Tector pummels the fifth ball of the over for four on the pull.

Ferocious stroke, one bounce for four.

Otherwise it's a very good over from Sam Curran, though. Nine from it in total but, with wickets in hand, Ireland will want more than that at this stage.

England will know those stats and here is Sam Curran. The left-arm seamer has two overs left.

Singles from his first two balls.

Sam Curran in overs 16-20 in T20s this summer:

• 20 wickets
• 11.2 average
• 9.06 economy

Good work on the rope from Sam Curran to prevent a boundary but the Ireland pair run well to get back for three.

No boundaries from the Liam Dawson over but still nine from it.

Four overs to go. They'll do well to get up to 200 from here but you never know...

Interesting!
