  1. Niall O'Brien
    Ex-Ireland wicketkeeper on TMS

    Tim Murtagh is attacking the stumps - bowled, lbw and caught are all in play.

  2. Eng 145-6

    Target 199

    Ben Foakes gets away with an inside egde.

    Tom Curran outside edges it down to third man for one.

    It's very edgy in Malahide.

  3. Eng 142-6

    Insult, meet injury. Tom Curran thwacks the next delivery up over the leg side for four.

  4. Sickener for Ireland.

    Ball tracking shows three reds for that lbw appeal. Ben Foakes would've been gone.

  5. Niall O'Brien
    Ex-Ireland wicketkeeper on TMS

    Ireland don't have a review left now - they used it up on the catch down the leg side.

  6. Eng 138-6

    Ooooft. Tim Murtagh nips it back into Ben Foakes' pads.

    Massive appeal. Not given. Will they review? No.

    Whew. Going down leg perhaps. Just.

  7. Right. Tim Murtagh is back on, two overs left to bowl...

  8. That is an extremely optimistic take, Sam.

    #bbccricket

    Sam Hunt‏: England getting their howler batting performance out of the way before the World Cup, like the thinking!

  10. Eng 137-6

    Target 199

    George Dockrell again responds to an expensive Boyd Rankin with a miserly one of his own. Just two from it.

  11. Niall O'Brien
    Ex-Ireland wicketkeeper on TMS

    Ireland have been energised by the vigor and enthusiasm of the youth they have brought into the team.

  12. Eng 135-6

    Need 64 from 72 balls

    Shot! Ben Foakes strides out and caresses the final ball through the covers for four. That's 13 from the over.

    Not sure Ireland should be bowling Boyd Rankin at the moment. His radar is off and England are able to use his pace to hit the gaps - or scoop it up over the ropes or smash it through the covers if you're Foakes.

    How calm is England's wicketkeeper? He's taken to international cricket magnificently and often in difficult situations.

  13. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    That was England's first six of the innings.

  14. 6 runs

    Eng 131-6

    I'd almost forgotten we have a six graphic.

    Ben Foakes swipes at a cross-seam delivery from Boyd Rankin and somehow gets enough on it to carry the ball over the ropes behind wide fine leg.

    Big boundary for England.

  15. Niall O'Brien
    Ex-Ireland wicketkeeper on TMS

    It's a good game of cricket - probably what England need going into the World Cup and, before that, their one-day series against Pakistan.

  16. Eng 122-6

    Foakes 25, Curran 10

    Decent stuff again from George Dockrell, tight lines to concede four from the over.

  18. Niall O'Brien
    Ex-Ireland wicketkeeper on TMS

    When you're 24 off 53 like Ben Foakes is now, you start thinking you can't get out and that adds more pressure. You realise you've chewed up so many balls.

  19. Eng 118-6

    Need 81 from 84 balls

    Boyd Rankin replaces Josh Little and England pick up a couple of singles in a row.

    Jeez. Ben Foakes edges one over sub fielder Andy McBrine at backward point and scampers two.

    A short ball to finish and this time an England batsman doesn't whack it straight to a fielder, with Foakes clipping over the infield for one.

    Good over for England - seven from it.

  20. Eng 111-6

    Target 199

    Are you superstitious? England are on Nelson.
