  1. Ire 76-5published at 20 overs

    Campher 23*, O'Brien 20*

    A little bit of turn for Rashid, spinning the ball vigorously through his fingers between deliveries. We've had one googly that beat everything but no magical delivery in this over.

    James: Just a reminder in 2011 when Ireland beat England in the World Cup chasing 328 were 111-5 then 329-7 and won! Today 28-5 and then...

  3. Ire 76-5published at 19 overs

    A bouncer from Curran, it's not quick at 79mph but it's given as wide for height. The seamer has 0-17 from four.

    I do feel that Eoin Morgan can afford to be a little bit more attacking, particularly with Adil Rashid as he has the mystery.

  5. Ire 72-5published at 18 overs

    Eng won toss

    Rashid rattles through another over and has 0-15 from his four.

    Ben Wire: Willey's lightning start makes it feel like England are now really in need of a breakthrough wicket...

  7. Ire 70-5published at 17 overs

    Just the single from Curran's third over as the partnership extends to 42.

    It's important that England don't just allow Ireland to tick along here, they've got to keep the pressure on.

  9. Ire 69-5published at 16 overs

    Campher 20, O'Brien 17

    Campher looks a well-organised player, eyes right over the ball as he plays forward and he seizes on a short, wide one from Rashid to slice his third boundary.

    These two have just got to bed themselves in and bat some time. It's difficult when they've lost the early wickets to rebuild an innings with meaning.

    Drinks breakpublished at 15 overs

    Ire 60-5

    O'Brien watchfully takes a single from the final ball of the Curran over and the Ireland batsmen can ponder matters over a welcome drink in the afternoon heat. Have you tried mango iced tea? It's a game-changer I tell you.

  12. Ire 55-5published at 14 overs

    Eng won toss

    The Ireland fifty arrives and then a Rashid googly beats bat, stumps and keeper's gloves and trickles away for four byes. It's something of a recovery having been 28-5 in the seventh over.

    In case you're just joining us, here are the five Ireland wickets that have fallen.

    All five fell in the first 39 balls of the innings.

  14. Ire 48-5published at 13 overs

    Campher 13, O'Brien 7

    A double change as Tom Curran - with the faintest of goatee beards - comes into the attack, but the slightly-built Campher continues to impress and pulls a second boundary.

  15. Ire 41-5published at 12 overs

    Bairstow in his mirrored sunglasses thinks he has got Campher down the leg side but there is no review to follow the appeal and a maiden results from leg-spinner Rashid's opening over.

    Mahmood, Curran, Rashid, Willey, Ali. It doesn't really matter now with the start we've had, however England are taking a risk by only playing five bowlers. What happens if one gets carted round the park?

  17. Ire 41-5published at 11 overs

    No further alarms in the latest Willey over and now they will face the spin of Adil Rashid.

    Here's that wicket after the review.

    I've seen Ireland play live twice; the Bristol ODI where they were all out for 126 and the final day of the Lord's Test where they were bowled out for 38. Might have to stop listening to TMS in case I'm jinxing them, don't want the game to be finished before I finish work.

  20. Ire 37-5published at 10 overs

    Mahmood 1-21

    There's the shot of the day so far, perfectly struck through the gap at extra cover by Campher, using the pace of Mahmood, and it rockets into the rope.
