    WICKET

    Prendergast b Cross 80 (Ire 163-3)

    The twist.

    Orla Prendergast tries to finish it right here, right now, but is bowled by a Kate Cross yorker.

  2. Ire 163-2

    Four more!

    It's hit back too hard for Kate Cross to catch by Prendergast.

    Game over?

  3. Ire 159-2

    Cracked for four!

    Orla Prendergast is at it again.

  4. Ire 155-2

    Two more singles.

    Kate Cross is showing her experience.

    15 from nine needed by Ireland.

  5. Isobel Joyce
    Former Ireland cricketer speaking on TNT Sports

    In run chases you usually say don't leave too much for the last over

  6. Ire 153-2

    The over starts with a single to Leah Paul.

    That gets Orla Prendergast back on strike.

    17 runs needed from 11 balls.

  7. Decision made. Kate Cross is bowling this over.

    It's the right call. It could be all over if she waits.

  8. Does Kate Cross bowl herself now or save her over for the 20th?

    Big call...

  9. Ire 152-2

    Need 18 runs from 12 balls

    Good comeback from Adams, conceding only two from the final three.

    Leah Paul will have the strike for the 19th.

  10. Ire 150-2

    Up and over cover!

    Orla Prendergast can do no wrong.

    She has 70. Ireland need only 20 more.

  11. dropped catch

    Paul dropped on 22

    This is a dropped catch but Georgia Adams has saved three runs. Leah Paul hammers the ball back at her and Adams parries it away.

  12. Ire 145-2

    Georgia Adams is playing only her second international but she is an experienced cricketer.

    England need her to deliver here.

    Good start.

  13. WinViz has lost all faith with England. Ireland favourites!

  14. Ire 145-2

    Prendergast 66, Paul 22

    Kate Cross sprawls towards the boundary but cannot stop the ball! 17 from the over and now Ireland are surely favourites.

    They need 25 runs from the final three overs.

  15. Ire 141-2

    Superb from Orla Prendergast! She's going to win this game for Ireland unless England get her out.

    Four through the covers.

  16. Ire 137-2

    Short and wide from Charis Pavely and Orla Prendergast clubs it down the ground for four.

    Nine off the over with two balls to come.

    33 from 20 to win.

  17. Ire 132-2

    Four to left-hander Leah Paul! She heaves Pavely over the leg side.

  18. Ire 128-2

    Charis Pavely is back for her final over.

    Wong has just turned things back in England's favour with that previous over.

  19. Ire 128-2

    Need 48 from 22 balls

    Ireland's record T20 chase is 152, made against Bangladesh in 2018. That's also their highest score in any second innings of a T20.

    Issy Wong does not concede a boundary in this over. Good from the England quick.

  20. Ire 122-2

    Every time I look there's more green on that WinViz...
