Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special
"Generally in this World Cup you would say that a batting team should keep going. But on a day like this - a pressure game - Ireland don't want to be out of game at the halfway stage by posting 210.
"They need to make sure they get to 250, 260, then say to Pakistan 'there you go, good luck". And we know that Ireland generally field really well."
