    If that had hit he'd have gone. You can't keep James Vince out of the action but nothing is going right for him.

  2. Ire 275-2

    Need 54 from 36 balls

    Miserly stuff from Saqib Mahmood - a fine yorker that Andrew Balbirnie can only dig out for a single.

    Harry Tector swipes another full ball down the ground for one.

    And Balbirnie takes a single off the last as James Vince's shy at the stumps misses. He'd given up making his ground.

    Good work from Mahmood - five from the over and Ireland needs nine runs per over fomr here.

    "Push 'em past nines, boys," shouts Sam Billings from the deep.

  4. Michael Carberry
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    What a game.

  5. Ire 272-2

    Need 57 from 40 balls

    Andrew Balbirnie shuffles around his crease and Saqib Mahmood targets the leg stump but just misses.

  6. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Ireland should win from here. Andrew Balbirnie is the key man - he's paced his innings to perfection.

  7. Ire 272-2

    Target 329

    Andrew Balbirnie carves a big drive out to wide mid-off and the ball lands safe. That's two.

  8. Saqib Mahmood is back into the attack.

    Everyone needs to stop overreacting here. This is not a full-strength team playing in a dead rubber with the series already won. Relax.

  10. Ire 270-2

    Need 59 runs off 42 balls

    Harry Tector doesn't pick the googly and inside edges another to square leg - but that's actually gone at the right pace to pick up two.

    Jonny Bairstow gets in his ear again behind the stumps.

    A dot to finish.

    Solid from Rashid - just four from the over.

  11. Ire 268-2

    After a couple of dot balls, Harry Tector aims a big drive at Adil Rashid and inside edges it just past his stumps.

    But he does get off strike.

    Andrew Balbirnie chops one to point for another single.

  12. Adil Rashid has two big overs left to bowl. Here is the first of them...

    If you're England you want to really put the squeeze on Harry Tector - keep him on strike for as long as possible and try and induce a bit of panic.

    I think this match is great for cricket. I'm assuming an Ireland win, but even if they don't reach the finish line, that is one exceptional partnership!

  15. Ire 266-2

    Need 63 off 48 balls

    Tector gets off the mark with a single into the leg side.

  16. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at the Ageas Bowl

    Incredible knock but why are Ireland not sending out Kevin O'Brien or even Curtis Campher here?

  17. Kevin O'Brien, the hero of Bangalore, is not coming out.

    Harry Tector stays at four and joins his captain in the middle.

    A huge moment for the 20-year-old.

  18. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Well, there might be a little bit of life left in this game. It was a mix-up - Paul Stirling knew he was out.

    It was a terrific innings - it should be a match-winning innings. It probably will be.

  19. Michael McNamee
    BBC Test Match Special

    That is a massive moment - Paul Stirling was backing up hugely.

    Is that the moment that Irish nerves may appear?

    Stirling run out (T Curran) 142 (Ire 264-2)

    Yep. Paul Stirling was half a yard short.

    But that's a simply superb knock from the Ireland opener and he's given his side every chance of a famous win.

    Good work from Tom Curran to keep his head and nail the stumps.
