    Ire 124-7published at 35 overs

    Shot, Andy McBrine!

    He gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps Moeen Ali about 20 rows back over mid-wicket.

    That's his first boundary and the first one off Moeen's bowling too.

    One encouraging thing Ireland can take from this is young Campher. If he can take a couple of wickets as well they will think they have got a player.

  3. Ire 114-7published at 34 overs

    Campher 45, McBrine 15

    Ireland just can't find the boundary at the moment, it's been six overs since they last hit one now.

    I suppose the key is batting through the 50 overs, if they do that they should be up to 160-180 which will at least give them a sniff.

    They've just got to try and bat the 50 overs now.

  5. Ire 110-7published at 33 overs

    For a debutant Curtis Campher has looked composed so far. He's within eight of a maiden international half century now.

    Moeen Ali hasn't gone for a single boundary in his seven overs.

    The guys must be a little stiff between spells, this will be the first major match of the season for a lot of them so they need to make sure they keep loose.

  7. Ire 106-7published at 32 overs

    Considering the situation that Ireland have been in since that early loss of five wickets, Eoin Morgan has been pretty defensive with his field.

    Tom Curran had no slip earlier, neither does Saqib Mahmood now. I imagine England want to learn about the likes of Tom Banton, Sam Billings and James Vince in this three-game series but that means Ireland getting a score on the board.

    Just three singles come off Mahmood's first over back.

    With Adil Rashid done, Eoin Morgan returns to the pace of Saqib Mahmood.

    He took his first international wicket in this country earlier - see below.

    There were one or two lonely claps from the fair side of the ground when Ireland reached three figures.

  10. Ire 103-7published at 31 overs

    Campher 39, McBrine 9

    The hundred is up for Ireland. The second half of that century has taken 101 balls - it's been slow going but it's needed to be for the visitors.

    Moeen Ali has figures of 0-16 from six overs - tight.

    Rashid has bowled brilliantly, got that shoulder problem well and truly sorted and able to get more pace on the ball.

  12. Ire 99-7published at 30 overs

    Jonny Bairstow is an absolute pain isn't he?

    "He's obviously picking you now, Rash" he chirps this time. Curtis Campher just has a little chuckle.

    That's Adil Rashid done for the day, with the ball anyway. He finishes with figures of 1-26.

    Campher has done a good job so far, he has a very calm head.

  14. Not outpublished at 29 overs

    That's a pretty poor review from England.

    McBrine is over 3m down the track which means it stays as not out because we stick with the umpire's decision because there's too much doubt in the technology at that point. It also goes over the top so all in all not much going for it really.

    A dot ball ends the over.

    It's hit his pad before bat. He is a long way down so it would be an odd one.

  16. England reviewpublished at 28.5 overs

    Hmmm. England think they've got Andy McBrine trapped lbw.

    He came a long, long way down the track.

    This isn't advisable at any stage, but at 79-6 it definitely isn't.

    I bet there's been a fair few of these since recreational cricket returned.

    No one out on the legside and it was the googly, whether he picked it I'm not sure.

  19. Ire 96-7published at 28 overs

    Campher 35, McBrine 7

    There's almost another run out as Curtis Campher and Andy McBrine decide to risk a quick single. Adil Rashid's throw is pretty average, though, and McBrine, despite dropping his gloves in the middle of the deck, dives in to make his ground.

    Shot! Campher picks the googly and whacks Rashid over mid-wicket for his fourth boundary.

    "I like that a lot", shouts Jonny Bairstow.

    They are rattling through, no more than two or three minutes per over. Ireland progressing with singles. Moeen is a key man in the dressing room for England, a delight in the dressing room by all accounts.
