    Paul Stirling may not be too disappointed to see David Willey still bowling...

    It feels like we're watching an entirely different series to the first two games.

    We're now in the territory where even if Ireland were to lose Stirling and Balbirnie in quick succession, they'd still be favourites.

    England need inspiration.

    David Willey will continue.

    This is ultimately why Willey missed out on the World Cup. If he doesn't take wickets up top he doesn't offer much at the back end.

    Target 329

    Paul Stirling makes an error, sending the ball high off the splice but it lands safe.

    That's seven off the over.

    That was brilliant placement. He dragged the ball from outside off stump and hit the ball with great power.

  7. Ire 233-1published at 36.2 overs

    Andrew Balbirnie gets in a big stride and forcefully sweeps it to the fence.

    David Willey and James Vince have bowled 10 overs between them so could that be the end of Willey now?

    Moeen Ali brings himself back into the attack.

    Ireland are going to win unless something quite remarkable happens now.

    The run rate is relatively modest so England have got to try and get some dot balls in.

  10. Ire 229-1published at 36 overs

    Need 100 to win

    David Willey goes for the yorker and Andrew Balbirnie slices it to third man for a single.

    Another yorker to finish and Paul Stirling has to jam his bat down.

    That's better from Willey, he needs to mix his length up more. Repeated deliveries on a standard length are getting battered.

  11. Ire 228-1published at 35.4 overs

    Target 329

    Banged in, sits up and Andrew Balbirnie wallops a pull shot away for four.

    Ropey bowling. Fine batting.

    Wow - what a fantastic shot! I love it!

    David Willey hasn't done much wrong there.

    ...and Paul Stirling bangs his first ball into the stands over mid-wicket.

    It was wide but that is not the length to bowl.

    How England would dearly love to be able to call on Jofra Archer right now.

    David Willey continues...

    Stirling 126, Balbirnie 73

    "Let's see if he can target that big bounday now lads," chirps Jonny Bairstow behind the stumps as Adil Rashid bowls to Paul Stirling.

    Just singles for now - four of them off the over. Tight lines from Rashid.

    A spectacular finish in store. The players take a breather before heading into the final stages of this game.

    This is the time where you can really put the foot down and put England under pressure. But, there is still a long way to go. England have a lot of matchwinners in their bowling attack that can turn it around.

    It all hinges on this partnership.

  19. Ire 213-1published at 34 overs

    Target 329

    Big over for Ireland - 10 from it.

    And there is the downside to David Willey at this level - a fine start with the new ball, but he doesn't look as threatening in his second spell.

    Moeen Ali needs to rally his troops here.
