  1. Ire 195-8

    Another Tom Hartley over rushes past in the blink of eye, with seven runs coming from it.

    Barry McCarthy has 22 to his name and Craig Young six, as Ireland's lower-order is probably going to play a few shots now.

  2. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    That's not the shot of someone in a side under pressure. Young is thinking why should I hang around, I'm going to go for it.

  3. 6 runs

    Ire 195-8

    Hello!

    Craig Young launches his second ball down the ground for six!

  4. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    There's a big smile on his face. Nearly a five-wicket haul, a tremendous spell.

  5. Ire 188-8

    Craig Young is pinned on the pad first ball but it's given not out. England contemplate a review but run out of time, so there will be no five-wicket haul for Rehan Ahmed.

    However, that completes a very fine spell of 4-54 for the 19-year-old.

  6. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Rehan Ahmed, what a bowler, he's bowling with beautiful flight, beautiful drift. Dockrell gets done by a beautiful bit of spin.

    WICKET

    Dockrell c Salt b Ahmed 43 (Ire 188-8)

    Rehan Ahmed has his fourth!

    George Dockrell played really nicely for his 43 but the pressure eventually tells, as he holes out to Phil Salt at long-on.

    A useful lower-order partnership is broken and England are two wickets away.

    That is now Barry McCarthy's highest score in ODI cricket on 19 runs.

  9. Ire 185-7

    Tom Hartley drops one a little too short and it's gratefully punished to the boundary by George Dockrell, who moves to 42.

    Hartley and Rehan Ahmed are rattling through their overs here.

  10. Ire 179-7

    The Irish pair of Dockrell and McCarthy tick three singles off Rehan Ahmed's over.

    It's turning into a handy little partnership for Ireland, despite the fact that the equation is really not in their favour.

  11. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    That was a juicy shot. He knew straight away he was going for it.

  12. 6 runs

    Ire 176-7

    Oh, lovely!

    Barry McCarthy continues to enjoy himself by lofting Tom Hartley down the ground for his first six.

    Perfect timing.

  13. Ire 169-7

    From an Irish point of view, they're probably just going to try and have some fun out there now and put a bit of pressure back on England.

    Barry McCarthy clubs one over mid-wicket before thrashing the next for four more past point.

    An expensive over from Rehan Ahmed.

  14. Ire 161-7

    The spinners are tying Ireland in knots now. The run-rate has stalled and they are whizzing through their overs.

    Tom Hartley completes another economical over.

  15. Ireland's run-rate has been good throughout, but England have regularly broken partnerships to keep them in check.

  16. Ire 157-7

    Barry McCarthy joins George Dockrell in the middle, who has backed up a decent performance with the ball with an entertaining 33 so far.

    Rehan Ahmed, though, has been brilliant. He has 3-40.

  17. Andy Zaltzman
    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    This is Rehan Ahmed's first three-wicket haul in ODI cricket. This is his ninth appearance.

    WICKET

    Adair lbw b Ahmed 12 (Ire 157-7)

    Gone!

    A good response from Rehan Ahmed having been hit for six from the first ball of his over.

    Some turn for Ahmed, whose googly deceives Mark Adair and pins him on the front pad.

    England edge closer to victory.

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Rehan Ahmed thinks this is out. I don't think Adair gets outside the line.

  20. Ireland review

    Thanks, Tim.

    And I'm called straight in to action as Rehan Ahmed has Mark Adair pinned lbw with another beauty.

    It's given out on field, but Adair sends it upstairs.
