    WICKET

    Tucker c Wood b Overton 1 (Ire 56-3)

    There will be no hundred stand between these two today. Lorcan Tucker cracks a pull beautifully off Jamie Overton but he has hit it straight to deep square leg.

    Luke Wood is the fielder out there in front of the temporary stands and he juggles the ball before eventually clutching it to his chest.

  2. Michael McNamee
    BBC Test Match Special

    Liam Dawson got his hands to it but he's dropped it. It would've been a tough one.

  3. dropped catch

    Tector dropped on 9

    A dropped catch or a boundary saved? Liam Dawson dives full length at short third, gets one hand to the ball but it does not stick.

  4. Greg Molins
    Former Ireland spinner

    Probably similar to Adair's dismissal the other day. The shot has gone across and he's just mistimed it.

  5. Ire 52-2

    Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector scored 123 together in the first T20 and are reunited again after that wicket.

  6. wicket

    WICKET

    R Adair c Cox b Ahmed 33 (Ire 52-2)

    Taken in the deep! That's a really good catch from Jordan Cox, sliding on his knees at deep mid-wicket.

    Rehan Ahmed halts the charge of Ross Adair.

  7. Rehan Ahmed comes straight into the attack now the fielding restrictions have been relaxed.

  8. Ire 46-1

    R Adair 33, Tector 3

    A mixed bag from Jamie Overton ends the powerplay.

    There's a four over fine leg, a wide and a couple that skip through with good carry from back of a length.

    There's something there for the quicks if you get your length right.

  9. Ire 39-1

    Impressive from Luke Wood who changes ends and backs up Dawson with an over that includes three singles and three dots.

    England have dragged this powerplay back a touch.

  10. Kieran Parmley
    CricViz analyst

    Ross Adair has shown real aggression early on for Ireland racing to 26* off 14, a significantly improved strike rate after scoring 25* off 22 in the Powerplay in the first T20.

  11. Ire 36-1

    R Adair 26, Tector 1

    Ross Adair gets a drive away off Liam Dawson for four but it's still only six runs from the the spinner's first over. Tidy.

  12. Kyle McCallan
    Ex-Ireland all-rounder

    Credit to the young England captain for going to his left-arm spinner in the powerplay. A bold move that worked out.

  13. wicket

    WICKET

    Stirling c Buttler b Dawson 7 (Ire 30-1)

    I think Paul Stirling knew. He was backing away to cut and gets a decent edge through to Jos Buttler.

    Liam Dawson strikes with his second ball.

  14. There's a spike...

  15. Kyle McCallan
    Ex-Ireland all-rounder

    Paul Stirling is the definition of innocence here.

  16. Michael McNamee
    BBC Test Match Special

    Is that a little tickle from Paul Stirling? The England fielders think so.

  17. England review

    Has the introduction of Liam Dawson brought a wicket? Jos Buttler is convinced Paul Stirling has nicked this.

  18. Ire 30-0

    Over cover this time!

    Ross Adair is taking a liking to Sonny Baker.

  19. Kyle McCallan
    Ex-Ireland all-rounder

    After that first ball we were critical of Ross Adair but he's hitting it in line and trusting his timing. He's such a strong guy so doesn't need to try anything fancy.

  20. Ire 26-0

    Sonny Baker sticks out a hand in his follow-through but this has been hit too well for him to catch. Four more to Ross Adair.
