England definitely made some mistakes. Eoin Morgan got out at a time when set, he was playing beautifully. Another 10 overs of him and the game would have been well out of the grasp of Ireland. They were probably 30-40 runs short.
They didn't do much wrong with the ball. It seemed to get better under the lights. David Willey didn't find the right length and Ireland just put them under pressure.
Overall Ireland got the tactics spot on in the run chase. What I did like was the singles after the boundaries - that was missing in the first two games.
