    You can have all the nets you want but nothing beats match practice and the Irish batsmen were probably a bit short of that.

    Target 173

    Poor ball from Gareth Delany. He drops short and Sam Billings just rocks back and pulls empathically for four.

  3. Eng 160-4published at 26.3 overs

    Brilliant fielding from Harry Tector.

    Sam Billings drills one down the ground but Tector, at full stretch, keeps it to two.

    Campher definitely has a bright future. He played nicely with the bat.

  5. Eng 157-4published at 26 overs

    Good comeback from Craig Young with just a single coming off the final three balls of the over.

    England are cruising, though. They need 16 more off 144 balls.

    Joel: Is Eoin Morgan the most underrated cricketer of all time? Consistently world class and an average of almost 40! Very impressive for a man you almost never hear about in conversations about the best in the world.

    Eng 156-4published at 25.3 overs

    We've seen this plenty of times in international cricket!

    Craig Young drops short and Eoin Morgan swivel pulls for six.

  8. Eng 150-4published at 25.2 overs

    Billings 57, Morgan 22

    Sam Billings has been impressive, hasn't he? That's another lovely shot. His balance is perfect as he flicks off his legs for another boundary.

    Thanks JL.

    I imagine the people producing those TV highlights are delighted with the early finish that we're set for. That tight deadline has got a lot loosener thanks to England's ruthlessness.

    England v Ireland
  11. Eng 145-4published at 25 overs

    Gareth Delany now, he hit five fours opening the batting, now he is going to try some leg-spin. Four singles comfortably milked and only 28 needed now.

    Greg Double: If James Vince was a footballer, he'd definitely have a YouTube highlights video - complete with a thumping euro-techno backing track - that leaves you thinking he was the best player in the world.

    That was a top shot and it's been a top knock.

  14. Eng 141-4published at 24 overs

    Target 173

    Air con on in the penthouse tonight Matt? It's been hot stuff from Billings without doubt and he reaches an outstanding third ODI fifty from 41 balls with his ninth boundary, a beautifully timed pull at seamer Young.

    BBC Sport at the Ageas Bowl

    I'm a northerner and it's now too hot for me to sit on my balcony. I've had to adapt. It's a hard life, I know.

    Ageas Bowl
  16. Eng 137-4published at 23 overs

    Target 173

    McBrine's long hop keeps a little low but Morgan gets enough bat on it for a one-bounce four suitably distant from the mid-wicket boundary rider, before sweeping sweetly next up for four more. The skipper moves to 20 and only 36 needed now.

    Target 173

    Harry Tector puffs out his cheeks after getting his fingertips to a fiercely struck cut from Billings off Campher but it's a second successive boundary for the Kent batsman and the eighth of his fluent innings as the fifty partnership arrives.

    Target 173

    An element of fortune for Morgan with his hurling-inspired reverse sweep at McBrine that just clears the fielder at backward point and brings him a second boundary.
