    You have to force things in this situation - overs won't come into it. I remember Andy Bichel doing it to England in 2003, scoring 60 as they sat back and waited for something to happen.

    Target 199

    And Murtagh almost strikes first up as Foakes chips the ball just past the bowler in his follow through.

    A magnificent over - a maiden.

    Tim Murtagh, the Lambeth Lara, is doing his best to be the Lambeth Lillee too today.

    He's back into the attack and hunting for more wickets.

  4. Eng 94-5published at 22 overs

    "Enough to keep you interested, eh, Docks."

    Gary Wilson reckons there's a bit of grip and turn in this pitch as he encourages the slow left-armer.

    "We'll have a drag-on, eh, Docks, we'll have a drag-on."

    Wilson is tremendous value behind the stumps. Just two from the over.

    Foakes 10, Willey 16

    Kevin O'Brien continues for now and over-pitches, with David Willey getting in a big stride and crashing it through the covers for four. Proper shot, that.

    He then slices out to deep cover for one more.

    Ireland shouldn't die wondering here - attack, get Murtagh and Little back into the attack. Don't give them easy singles like they're doing now.

    Marc Sepetowski‏: Brilliant knock from Sam Curran in the IPL. It's a shame he isnt considered by England for one day cricket. I'd suggest he could do a better job than Willey has done with bat and ball..

    Gav Joshi‏: All this talk about Archer in the England team but what about Sam Curran ? He has played a gem tonight and really stood up in some crunch situations in the IPL.

    S Curran hit 55 from 24 balls, with seven fours and two sixes, to help Kings XI Punjab post 183-6 in Chandigarh. There's commentary available over here.

    Ireland want to get through their fifth bowler's allocation as quick as they can and for as little damage as they can.

    Target 199

    Just three off the over. Tidy start.

    Ireland have England pinned down, hoping pressure will translate into wickets.

    The hosts were 100-4 off 20 overs.

    Time for a drink.

  10. Postpublished at 17:56 British Summer Time 3 May 2019

    Spin for Ireland. Slow left-armer George Dockrell is on.

    It's mad that he's still only 26. He made his debut aged just 17.

    He took a blinder to dismiss James Vince earlier - can he pick up a wicket or two?

    O'Brien's role is to be as accurate as he can, keep the pressure on and the main strike bowlers can chip away at the other end.

  12. Eng 83-5published at 19 overs

    Target 199

    Gary Wilson is now up to the stumps for Kevin O'Brien.

    Nagging stuff - just that wide conceded off the over.

  13. Eng 83-5published at 18 overs

    Kevin O'Brien, England's 2011 World Cup scourge, is on for a bowl.

    He couldn't do it with the bat today - can he grab a couple of quick wickets?

    He starts with a loose wide.

  14. Eng 82-5published at 18 overs

    Foakes 7, Willey 10

    England haven't done well with the pull shot today and Ben Foakes now slaps one just short of mid-wicket. Probably shelve it, guys. Or hit it much higher.

    Target 199

    Is that a strangle down the leg side? Boyd Rankin goes up in appeal. He reckons David Willey has nicked that through to Gary Wilson.

    Wilson is convinced too.

    But Kevin O'Brien tells William Porterfield that it flicked Malan's shirt, not bat.

    No review. And O'Brien is spot on. Good call.

  17. Eng 80-5published at 16.5 overs

    Mix up! David Willey says yes, then no and sends Ben Foakes back. A quick turn from the keeper and a big dive saves him as the throw comes in.

  18. Eng 80-5published at 16.4 overs

    Boyd Rankin concedes two wides down the leg side, trying to get Ben Foakes to tickle one through to the keeper.

    A single to Foakes and then David Willey unfurls a superb back-foot drive to smack one through the covers for four. Shot!

    Sam Goose‏: This is exactly why there should be more than 10 teams in the World Cup. Much more entertaining.

    Shaun‏: How kind of the England top order to falter so Archer can hit a match-winning century.

  20. Eng 73-5published at 16 overs

    Need 126 more runs to win

    This time David Willey firmly connects with a cover drive and picks up four. Much better looking shot that.
