England bowler Stuart Broad on Twitter:, external Congrats all the guys making their England debuts today. Special day.

Debutant Mark Wood gives way to debutant David Willey, a left-arm seamer from Northants who also has a first-class batting average of 28. As I said, dad Peter is there. Would they feature in a Father & Son XI? The blond Willey skates in, hitting 80mph, but drops short to allow Joyce a pull for four. There's umbrella up in the crowd, but possibly in error. The wind has blown it inside out. Someone feeling foolish underneath.

Jon Amor: Real chance here for some youngsters/fringe players to really show what they are about against a rising nation.

Si Lomas: So Sam Billings arguably the most exciting of all of them gets left out for the already tried Jonny Bairstow, typical England.

Philip Mulligan: As a Northants Steelbacks fan, I'm very happy to see David Willey make his England debut. Real prospect for the future.

I tell you what, it's all happening. Another Ireland single as the ball drops at the batsman's feet, another Jonny Bairstow shy at the stumps. This time, the flame-haired keeper misses and there's no-one backing-up. Why is it that overthrows always bring such a huge cheer? They are the equivalent of someone dropping a glass in the pub. Is there anywhere else in the world where a smashed glass is greeted by a cheer? Anyway, powerplay done.

"I thought James Taylor may have been more aggressive with his field placings from the start, especially with the weather conditions. Niall O'Brien loves the big occasion, and loves to get the bat on ball early on."

Ireland should be three down and Mark Wood should have a second international wicket. New man Niall O'Brien the batsman, another flash outside off stump, flying to gully where Alex Hales shelled the chance. The Notts man really should have taken that above his head. Either side, O'Brien pulls two boundaries, one of which is greeted by The Only Way Is Up. Was that Yazz or Yazoo?

OptaJim on Twitter:, external England have named five debutants in an ODI team for the first time since 1996, v Pakistan at Old Trafford.

The Porterfield dismissal was indicative of a slow-wicket, but Wood's pace has been good, nudging 90mph. What's this, have England got another? Bresnan to Joyce, a little tickle? Looks good and England can't believe it's not been given. No DRS, so no review. I tell you what, umpire Mark Hawthorne has got that spot on, it flicked the back pad. Well done, sir.

"After scoring seven off 20 balls, it was getting to Porterfield and you could see he was trying to get Mark Wood away. Porterfield was trying to force it and it can be tough as an opening batsman as you want to get some runs going and get some fours. But it is tough, especially when the wicket is slow."

Bowled him! A first international wicket for Mark Wood, with his exploration of William Porterfield's off stump bringing a reward. At the end of an accurate over, Porterfield looks to force through the covers off the back foot, but width isn't there and the Irish skipper can only chop on to his stumps. Slight delay as we check the no-ball - heart in mouth for a live texter who's already proclaimed the wicket - but Wood has a slither of heel behind the line.

"Ed Joyce is one of the best players you can see playing off his legs or through the covers."

This fixture is played every other year, with England travelling to Scotland in between. Ireland's most experienced pair at the crease, a pair of left-handers, Joyce tucking into a Bresnan half-volley with a thumping cover drive. Shot of the day so far. There's music played in between the overs. I'm not sure at attempt at razzmatazz quite fits in with grey May day in Dublin.

"The forecast says the rain will be here in an hour or hour-and-a-half and that we won't be able to escape. It may be then here for the day."

Mark Wood gets an early lesson in his international career - don't overstep. A no-ball, a free hit, William Porterfield belting down the ground so hard that the umpires are forced to change the ball because it has gone out of shape. Wood, by the way, has only ever played 18 List A games in his career, so his one-day experience isn't vast. Add a wide to the no-ball, but his good deliveries look threatening - some movement in the air, the odd hit of the seam, mid-80s and above.

Rob Meech: I'm sure Adil Rashid would much rather bowl on this tacky pitch than on a raging turner in the West Indies.

On a bowling morning, you don't want to be giving away wickets like that. It looked like a good call from Porterfield, but Stirling seemed to want to send him back. The hesitation was fatal and cost him his wicket. Ireland-England-Ireland international Ed Joyce is the new man, looking cold. A very good Bresnan over.

"It was a good throw from Jonny Bairstow. I just thought Paul Stirling might have tried to get in the way of the stumps. It was a small angle for Bairstow, but Stirling was run out by some difference."

It's brilliant from wicketkeeper Bairstow, turning what looked to be a good Ireland single into Paul Stirling's walk back to the pavilion. Tim Bresnan bowling, hitting Stirling on the the thigh pad, the ball dropping to his feet. Porterfield called him through but Bairstow got to the ball, took his glove off and hit direct at the non-striker's end. Stirling was slow to set off and was miles out.

I tell you what, Jonny Bairstow might have done for Paul Stirling here...

"Mark Wood has that wiry look about him, but I like him. He reminds me of the Australian Damien Fleming - he has a nice rhythm. He is trying to get the ball to come back into the right-hander.

"As an opener, this is one of those old-fashioned one-games where you need to get yourself in."
