Arlene Kelly returns for her second over - Smale cracks her for four to through the covers to bring up England's hundred.

Beaumont then lofts a delivery just over the ropes at mid-wicket then takes a covers boundary of her own.

As we approach the halfway stage Ireland's heads a dropping a little.

Smale rubs salt in the wood, smacking Maguire for successive fours through mid-off and the covers.

England looking very well set at the half way mark.

Beaumont is put down!

Maguire sees her dropped at long-on - Ireland really can't afford this.

Meanwhile England take the single.

The first boundary-less over of the innings as England work Freya Sargent for five singles.

And now a first international boundary for Smale, picking the last ball of new bowler Aimee Maguire's over and hitting the ball square on the turn.

The ball rockets to the boundary, beating a despairing fielder on the ropes.

Debutant Seren Smale is next up for England.

The 19-year-old nudges into the covers for her first run in international cricket.

A quiet end to the powerplay, just three runs off the remainder of Kelly's over.

A good first six overs for England, with Smith already past her half century, while Beaumont has played the silent partner - she's on nine from 10 deliveries.

And there's the fifty!

Smith drives Arlene Kelly through the covers, the ball beating a diving fielder on its way to the ropes.

It comes off just 24 deliveries.

Another cut!

And another boundary.

Smith moves to 48.

Oh, that could be very costly.

Another cut from Smith and Gaby Lewis shells an absolute sitter in the covers.

One the Ireland captain will want to forget.

Fifty up for England as Smith hits four successive fours from the start of Prendergast's second over.

She finds the ropes at mid-wicket once again, then fires a trio of cuts to the off-side boundary.

Bryony Smith is right in the groove, carving Canning for two more fours in the leg side.

She bisects two fielders at square leg, then works her second boundary through mid-wicket.

The opener moves to 28 from 17.

Sargent's spell lasts just one over as Orla Prendergast's right-arm seam is brought into the attack.

Beaumont and Smith both loft her over the fielder at mid-wicket for four - the latter's boundary going somewhat further before its first bounce.

Seamer Ava Canning takes the ball at the other end for Ireland, bowling very wide of the crease.

Smith flicks her away for four through long-on.

A solid start for England, hustling through some quick early singles off Sargent's bowling.

Smith then cuts through an empty slip cordon, the ball racing away across the outfield for the first boundary of the match.

England openers Tammy Beaumont and Bryony Smith have walked out into the middle.

The 18-year-old spinner Freya Sargent will open the bowling for the hosts.

England captain Kate Cross: "We would have had a bowl first as well. The pitch looks green but so did practice wickets yesterday and they played pretty well. We are expecting a high-scoring game."
