    Need 42 off 28 balls

    A fine yorker by David Willey and Kevin O'Brien jams his bat down on it to get a single to get off the strike.

    Not an overreaction to say England have been disappointing (Ireland have been excellent). These are the games where players make the case for a go in the full strength team. So far we can see why those who were not in the first XI are not getting into it.

    That was a massive moment because someone of Kevin O'Brien's experience has to be hanging around to guide the inexperienced lads home.

    Ire 285-3

    And that's not out either, bat clearly grounded in time.

    Ireland need 44 from 30 balls.

    And David Willey is coming back...

    Oh heck. Now they're checking whether Kevin O'Brien was run out as he turned to make his ground after that lbw shout.

    Well, well, well.

    Martin Saggers, who is on his own ODI debut, has a look of satisfaction on his face.

  7. Not outpublished at 45 overs

    Pitched outside leg!

    Kevin O'Brien survives.

    Hit dead in front.

    All on where the ball pitches now...

    This could be close. It did turn and straighten slightly.

    England reckon they've got Kevin O'Brien lbw.

    Huge appeal. Not given.

    Moeen Ali sends it upstairs.

    "Come on Big Kev," quips Jonny Bairstow to Kevin O'Brien.

    Ireland don't need to panic here - they've still got a lot of wickets in hand. They need to keep the intent.

    Brilliant from the young Harry Tector - slashing it through point for four.

    Kevin O'Brien does now come out to the middle.

    He's got that very wrong, Andrew Balbirnie. It's a disappointing end to a great knock. You felt that something was brewing - they were getting a little bit behind.

    What has that done for Ireland's chances? It's a big blow.

    It’s another crucial wicket.

    Balbirnie c Billings b Rashid 113 (Ire 279-3)

    Big moment. Ireland's captain is gone.

    Adil Rashid tosses it up outside off and Andrew Balbirnie tries to lever it to the shorter boundary at deep cover.

    But he can't get enough oomph on the ball and instead picks out Sam Billings in the deep.

    Pressure back on Ireland?

    Adil Rashid will bowl out...

    I was surprised to not seen Kevin O'Brien walk out to the middle - he's an experienced player and he's done it before.
