  1. 6 runs

    Eng 165-2

    Ireland left-arm spinner Theo van Woerkom continues, but Ben Duckett has taken a shine to him and slog-sweeps his fifth ball over the stands towards the food trucks. That was a big 'un.

    It'll be interesting to see how Sam Hain approaches this. On Saturday, he came in after a couple of quick wickets so he had to start a little slower and rebuild, which he did brilliantly.

    But now England are absolutely motoring so he's got to keep that momentum going.

  3. Eng 216-3

    Ben Duckett is joined by Sam Hain, who began slowly at Trent Bridge before he found some rhythm.

    Duckett waspishly smacks Josh Little's second ball through mid-wicket for four before clothing the penultimate ball of the over, but he's still able to pick up three.

  4. He's out now but this picture of Zak Crawley is exquisite...

    Zak Crawley looks annoyed with himself there. He will be feeling like he's missed out.

    The turn has done for Crawley there, it has stuck in the pitch and got him as he was trying to hit over extra cover.

    A very special feeling for Van Woerkom to take his first international wicket. Ireland need to make the most of this breakthrough and keep chipping away with more wickets.

    WICKET

    Crawley c Young b van Woerkom 51 (Eng 205-3)

    Theo van Woerkom has his first international wicket.

    He gives it a bit more flight and Zak Crawley top edges it into the hands of Craig Young at short third.

  8. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Theo van Woerkom is the first Theo to ever play ODI cricket.

  9. Fifty for Duckett

    Theo van Woerkom continues and is powerfully swept by Ben Duckett as England bring up the 200.

    The England left-hander also has himself a half-century off 46 balls.

    It's Zak Crawley's second ODI fifty after he made 58 on his debut against Pakistan at Cardiff in 2021.

    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Josh Little has bowled too full. It's just in the slot and Zak Crawley can put it away with barely any effort whatsoever.

    Fifty for Crawley

    A punch through backward point off Josh Little gives Zak Crawley his second ODI half-century.

    Not quite the bombastic style of Phil Salt from earlier, but just as effective.

  13. 6 runs

    Eng 196-2

    Ireland speedster Josh Little back into the attack for Ireland.

    Zak Crawley uses his big reach to biff Little back over his head and into the flats at the County Ground.

    Next Ball Crawley top edges it over the head of the wicketkeeper attempting to pull but the ball thuds safe into the turf despite Lorcan Tucker's best efforts.

  14. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That was a gift. All Zak Crawley had to do was lean on it.

  15. Eng 183-2

    Spin for the first time today as left-arm tweaker Theo van Woerkom, on his ODI debut, is thrown the ball by Ireland skipper Paul Stirling.

    He is too flat and straight to Zak Crawley with his third ball and the England batter biffs it through mid-wicket. A warm Woerkom to the game, Theo.

    Apologies, I'll get my coat...

  16. Eng 176-2

    Curtis Campher starts with two dots to Ben Duckett but his third ball is buffet bowling. Short and wide, and Duckett ruthlessly cuts it to the fence.

    He's not done any favours by Barry McCarthy at mid-on next ball as he fumbles a tame drive allowing Duckett to pick up a couple more.

    There's nothing fortunate about Campher's penultimate ball, however, as Duckett impishly drives the all-rounder down the ground for another four. Beautiful timing and poise with that shot.

  17. Michael McNamee
    BBC Test Match Special

    There has to be at least one big Irish batting partnership if they are to chase presumably what is going to be something past 300. It is not away from them, they have every chance.

  18. Eng 165-2

    Mark Adair improves his economy - currently hovering at 10 an over - with a tight six balls. Just a single off the bat of Ben Duckett from it.

    Here's a clip of Zak Crawley's first six in ODIs. He has only played the four matches in this format, mind.

    He has hit four sixes in 39 Test innings.

  19. Eng 163-2

    Curtis Campher drops it short to Ben Duckett and the left-hander, perhaps anticipating it, whips his hands across to powerfully pull the Irish all-rounder through deep mid-wicket for four.

    A couple of balls later and Duckett attempts to repeat the shot but Ireland skipper Paul Stirling is able to take the sting out of it.

  20. Eng 154-2

    Mark Adair chews the fat with mid-off and mid-on as continues in search of wickets for Ireland.

    Whatever plans they were discussing probably did not include bowling a full toss which is precisely what the Irish seamer serves up to Ben Duckett.

    The England left-hander pings it past mid-on for four.
