  1. Ire 128-2

    Need 27 from 30 balls

    Gaby Lewis gets hold of a shorter ball from Macdonald-Gay, but her middle-of-the-bat shot flies straight to the mid-wicket fielder on the bounce.

    Just the single, Lewis moves to 65 from 51.

  2. England v Australia

    A little reminder - as if you needed one - that the Aussies are in town and face England's men in the first T20 in Southampton this evening. England won the toss and are bowling first. Join our colleagues over here, for TMS commentary and in-play clips.

  3. Ire 121-2

    Need 34 from 36 balls

    Time for Hannah Baker, and Leah Paul hustles through a trio of twos from the first half of her over.

    Three singles follow from the last three balls.

    The key to this is Gaby Lewis - if she stays out there, Ireland win this.

  5. Ire 112-2

    Need 43 from 42 balls

    Ryana Macdonald is reintroduced into the attack after conceding 12 from her first over.

    She fares better in her second, conceding only four.

  6. Ire 108-2

    Need 47 from 48 balls

    Lewis brings up Ireland's hundred, reverse-sweeping Villiers to the boundary.

    She closes the over with successive twos - that's 11 from the over, and the home side need just under a run a ball from here.

  7. Ire 97-2

    Need 58 from 54 balls

    Paul and Lewis exchange four singles from Cross' remaining four deliveries.

    10 off the over, Cross has conceded 31 from her 18 deliveries - not a great day for the England captain.

  8. 50 runs

    50 for Gaby Lewis

    That's the half-century for the Ireland skipper!

    Lewis steps down the track to crash Kate Cross through the covers, bringing up her ninth ODI fifty from 41 deliveries.

    Do we have a few twists to come? The main thing for Ireland is that Gaby Lewis is still out there.

  10. Ire 87-2

    Target 155

    Leah Paul is the new batter, and she gets off the mark straight away, courtesy of a misfield.

    WICKET

    Prendergast lbw b Villers 11 (Ire 86-2)

    VilliersPA Media

    Villiers nabs a wicket!

    It's Orla Prendergast who has to go, hit on the pad in front of her stumps while attempting the sweep.

    That ends a partnership of 35.

    Despite the two wides, that was a good over from Filer. She's put the brakes on Ireland.

  13. Ire 84-1

    England bring back Lauren Filer to try and insert some venom into this rather humdrum defence of their total.

    She concedes a couple of head-height wides, but only one run off the bat, with the Ireland pair hurried by her pace.

  14. Ire 81-1

    Target 155

    Ireland pass halfway in their chase, working Mady Villiers for five singles.

    It's looking pretty comfortable out there.

  15. Ire 76-1

    Ryana Macdonald-Gay is introduced into the attack in place of Freya Kemp and Gaby Lewis dispatches her for a couple of fours, pulled to the square leg ropes.

    She closes the over with a two in a similar area, moving to 45 from 31.

  16. Melinda Farrell
    Cricket journalist, speaking on Cricket Ireland Youtube channel

    Ireland have put themselves in a position where they don't need to force the shots.

  17. Ire 64-1

    Six runs off this Hannah Baker over, Michael.

    Ireland need 6.5 from here on.

    Headline..."England batters struggle". Do you really believe Ireland are going to score at seven an over? I think not. Expect England to win by 30/40 runs.

    Michael, Malaga

  19. Ire 58-1

    Orla Prendergast comes in at number three for Ireland.

    After facing a wide delivery, she gets her runs from her first legal delivery, seeing a thick edge makes its way to the boundary at backward point.

    Former Ireland cricketer speaking on Cricket Ireland Youtube channel

    Hunter just couldn't get her bat down on that one.
