Eng 105-5
There is a suggestion they have to be back on by 08:56 BST. Given the amount of covering that is on the ground, I'd say there's almost no chance.

Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialWhen do we start losing overs? That's what everyone needs to know because if it is straightaway, they don't have long. Maybe half an hour?

The captains have had a chat. I suspect Jos Buttler was saying "I can't believe we've come off, it's barely raining". Andrew Balbirnie was probably saying "It's smashing down".

England would need to be 110 for parity. Ireland are sensing a win. Remember all those years ago, Guyana 2010. Rain saved England and they went on to become world champions. What goes around, comes around.

Target 158
Kohli-esque from Moeen. Gareth Delany's first ball is hit back over his for six, off the back foot. Superb strike.

That's bounced, hitting Moeen on the forearm. England run a leg bye.

Flat-batted for four over mid-off by Moeen. Unflappable.

Stephen: 157 flattered both Ireland and England! Irish seamers have been brilliant. England being taught a lesson that you need to earn the right to win no matter who you're playing!

Liam Livingstone. If you are going to try and walk on water, make sure you've got your comfortable shoes.
