  1. Ire 245-9published at 41 overs

    Target 335

    Shot!

    Brydon Carse bangs one in short but Josh Little just uses all the pace to guide it over the head of slip for four.

    He didn't look like a number 11 playing that one!

    Another one of these should do the trick.

    England have bowled nine no-balls, six were in Scrimshaw's first two overs. Ireland bowled two.

  4. 6 runs

    Ire 241-9published at 40 overs

    Target 335

    Another criminal no-ball from Will Jacks.

    He gets away with the free hit, but Craig Young whacks one over his head for six a couple of balls later.

    10 overs to go. Ireland need an unlikely 94 runs, England need one wicket.

  5. Ire 231-9published at 39 overs

    The yorker almost does the trick again for Carse!

    Number 11 Josh Little just about keeps the last ball of the over out.

    A perfect toe-crusher yorker from Brydon Carse. That is going to get much better batters out than Barry McCarthy.

    McCarthy b Carse 41 (Ire 231-9)

    The yorker does the trick for Brydon Carse!

    Barry McCarthy's fun comes to an end.

    He played well for his 41 from 38 balls but not many batters would have kept that out. Full, fast and straight from Carse leaves the stumps splattered.

  8. Ire 229-8published at 38 overs

    Will Jacks joins the no-ball party from his first ball, and the free hit is clubbed for four by Craig Young.

    Plenty of turn on offer for Jacks, who gets one to rip through Young's defences and leaves him in disbelief that it's somehow evaded the stumps.

  9. Ire 219-8published at 37 overs

    Five runs from the over as England are just being thwarted by an annoying lower-order partnership (from their point of view, obviously).

    Ireland have plenty of time until their rugby counterparts kick off against South Africa, so they don't seem to be in any rush.

  10. Not outpublished at 36.2 overs

    Too high, and review lost.

    As you were.

    The keeper Jamie Smith didn't seem that interested.

  12. England reviewpublished at 36.2 overs

    Carse responds by nipping one back in to pin McCarthy on the pads.

    It's given not out on field, but Zak Crawley wants another look.

  13. Ire 218-8published at 36.1 overs

    More pace now in the form of Brydon Carse, who is also greeted by a Barry McCarthy boundary.

    His short ball sits up nicely to be pummelled past mid-wicket for four.

  14. Ire 214-8published at 36 overs

    Target 335

    Short from George Scrimshaw and it's punished by Barry McCarthy, drilling it past extra cover for four more.

    An entertaining knock from McCarthy, as he moves to 33 from 30 balls.

    Craig Young (13) is also now on his highest ever score in ODI cricket.

  16. Ire 205-8published at 35 overs

    Target 335

    Tom Hartley finishes his spell with 0-48 as the last ball is chipped in the air, but lands safely to deny him a maiden wicket.

    A wicketless debut, but a solid one for the left-arm spinner.

    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    What this game has done is given England some positive information about this squad. Rehan Ahmed and Matt Potts will have impressed.

  18. Postpublished at 17:32 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    How good was Rehan Ahmed today?

  19. Ire 200-8published at 34 overs

    Target 335

    A tidy over, but a wicketless one for Scrimshaw as Young and McCarthy tick six runs from it.

    A single to McCarthy brings up Ireland's 200.

  20. Postpublished at 17:28 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    England bring back some pace in the form of George Scrimshaw to try and mop up the tail.

    After a tough start, he's bowled really nicely today.
