- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 punched back past the bowler, Tector a little slow in taking off... and there's a direct hit from mid-off! She's going to be out! Dunkley marks her 50th cap with a bullseye throw on the run to get rid of Tector cheaply. Fine work, sliding and rising to release in one movement 4/19.2 bowled through the gate! Wong on song again, scrambled seam and nipping back as Lewis aims a drive. She turns to see leg stump pegged back, and Ireland's captain has to head for the dressing rooms 32/245.2 pinged high into the leg side... taken in the deep! Wong has an international five-for! She looks delighted, and well she might be. Hunter has played well and was looking to hit out at the death. Got hold of the shot but I think that's a fairly long hit out to deep midwicket. Well held by Villiers running around the rope 163/821.4 slog-sweep, straight to deep midwicket! That's a well-judged take from Kemp, solid base inside the rope. It was arguably the right idea from Prendergast, hitting with the spin, aiming high and mighty. But she didn't fully commit to the launch, and didn't have the legs to clear the rope! 77/323.6 drilled on the up, straight to extra cover! Gibson steadies herself well, and Stokell is gone. Not her most convincing stay. She never quite reached the pitch of that one. A bit of late drift on the full length pushed her a touch aerial too 83/437.5 Paul swings, Wong hits! Tight lines and it brings further reward for England's ebullient speedster. Big swipe to leg from Paul but it only results in an inside edge that rattles off stump 140/539.6 plinked to mid-off, Wong on it! Hammering away on that top-of-off length and Little acts in desperation, tries to launch it over the off side - only doesn't get enough of a connection to clear Grewcock tracking around at mid-off 142/643.5 picks out mid-off, Wong has four! Best ODI figures for her. Again bowling to her field, asking the batter to take a risk. Murray times her drive pretty well but doesn't have the elevation and it's a simple catch for Grewcock in the ring 156/746.1 plinked back to the bowler! TCC gets among the wickets. Bit of a leading edge from Maguire, though it might have cleared a shorter opponent. Corteen-Coleman was up off her feet with arms outstretched to cling on 163/946.6 sliced and diced, Ireland are done! TCC spears an arm ball through the No. 11, who can't get her bat down in time. From 140 for 4, Ireland have slumped to 165 all out 165/10Extras14 (b 2, w 12)TOTAL165 all out (47 Overs, RR: 3.51)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Alice Tector, 1.4 ov), 2-32 (Gaby Lewis, 9.2 ov), 3-77 (Orla Prendergast, 21.4 ov), 4-83 (Rebecca Stokell, 23.6 ov), 5-140 (Leah Paul, 37.5 ov), 6-142 (Louise Little, 39.6 ov), 7-156 (Cara Murray, 43.5 ov), 8-163 (Amy Hunter, 45.2 ov), 9-163 (Jane Maguire, 46.1 ov), 10-165 (Kia McCartney, 46.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.6 lobbed down the leg-side, The Boosh holes out to short backward square! That's a horrid ball and a horrid way to get out. A long-hop, met almost on the second bounce with a slog-sweep, Maguire almost makes a hash of a looping chance. Urgh 79/27.1 ghastly run-out! Dunkley joins the Lonely Hearts Club as she is sold a horrendous dummy by her partner. A nondescript push to cover where Prendergast gathers almost without moving, a crazy psychedelic single, never a prayer for her partner! 54/116.4 sits back to launch a length ball, holes out! Grewcock threw the kitchen sink at a shot that wasn't on. Cramped for room on the hips, a comfortable height to Lewis. England ship another wicket 119/411.6 that one turned alright! Huge fizz from outside off, slams the pads as Capsey jumps so deep into her crease. Not even a thought of a review. Pinned on the shin and gone for 1! It was hitting leg, halfway up 85/3Extras11 (w 11)TOTAL166/4 (23 Overs, RR: 7.21)Fall of wickets: 1-54 (Sophia Dunkley, 7.1 ov), 2-79 (Maia Bouchier, 9.6 ov), 3-85 (Alice Capsey, 11.6 ov), 4-119 (Jodi Grewcock, 16.4 ov)
