    If you're in the area, come down. It's brilliant entertainment. If they try and charge you, tell them Niall said you can come in for free.

    Little finishes up the over with two more dot balls.

    By heck, this is tense.

    This is stunning bowling! I've never seen an international side play 80mph bouncers as poorly as England have today.

  5. Eng 109-6published at 28.4 overs

    Oh that is vicious! Josh Little follows up that disappointment with a snorting bouncer that loops up off Tom Curran's glove.

    Gary Wilson sprints in but can't get there in time.

    Little has a few words for Curran. That was just 78mph but rushed the England batsman.

    Hostile in the middle in Malahide.

    Sometimes as a wicketkeeper you just know the ball went into your gloves clean. The only problem is the television can show differently.

  7. Not outpublished at 28.3 overs

    Tom Curran definitely did glove it but the ball does skim off the grass just before Gary Wilson pouches it.

    Certainly not enough there to overturn the soft signal. Not out. On we go.

    Finally the umpires convene and decide to send it upstairs.

    Soft signal is not out.

    Tom Curran appears to glove Josh Little down the leg side.

    Gary Wilson stoops and scoops and comes up with the ball in his glove.

    Ireland are certain that's out. The umpires are unmoved. No decision is being made!

    Wilson glares at the umpires. Little glares at Curran.

  10. Eng 106-6published at 28 overs

    Listen to Wilson.

    Dockrell follows that up with three dot balls in a row.

  11. Eng 106-6published at 27.3 overs

    Tom Curran's hits England's first boundary in 41 balls.

    A rare bad ball from George Dockrell is slashed away for four through point.

    Dockrell wants the field changed but Gary Wilson says no.

    "That's just one ball, lad, come on."

    Not sure David Willey even realised there was a fielder back there. Pretty poor. He and Ben Foakes weren't scoring much but were at least digging in to try and repel Ireland.

    Out strides Tom Curran.

    That was a ball which should have been put away for six, yet it was shovelled down Adair's throat.

    He couldn't have picked him out any better!

    And all that pressure finally tells.

    Josh Little slides it down leg, David Willey's eyes light up and he tries to flick it away over the rope.

    But he's not connected nearly well enough with it and instead picks out Mark Adair on the boundary.

    Adair makes no mistake. Two debutants combining for Ireland to wreak yet more damage on a beleaguered England.

    Josh Little has three wickets on debut at 19 years old.

    He's back on. Can he make it a five-for?

  18. Eng 100-5published at 26 overs

    Ben Foakes clips down to mid-on for a single that finally takes England to 100.

  19. Eng 98-5published at 25 overs

    Foakes 13, Willey 19

    Gary Wilson is now up to the stumps for Tim Murtagh, chirping away in his fellow keeper Ben Foakes' ear.

    And Foakes just keeps hitting the fielders. Only two from the over.

    "Joshy! Joshy! JOSSSSHYYYY!" Gary Wilson wants the attention of Josh Little, who's signing an autograph on the boundary.

    "They're in a bit of a hole here boys. C'mon fellas. What about 100-7 eh boys?"

    This live text is now just going to be a list of stuff Gary Wilson says, hope that's OK?

    "Great stuff, Dockers." And it is - just two from the over as Ireland keep England under the cosh.
