- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.6 big leading edge, gobbled up at cover! Ireland's breakthrough emerges out of the blue! Bouchier was looking in supreme touch again but falls somehow, looking to work an innocuous-looking ball to leg. Hits the bat flush on the edge and loops it into the hands of Lewis 73/135.3 slam Dunked to deep midwicket! Dragged short and heaved leg side, looking for six, but she can't clear Prendergast on the rope. She trudges off looking disappointed. No Mummy hundred for Dunkley, but it has nevertheless been a fine knock, 119 from as many balls 214/430.3 poked straight back to the bowler! It would be harsh to say that was coming, but Grewcock's bid to step up her tempo leads to her downfall. Length ball from the leggie, holds in the surface, it's a tame lob back to Murray in her followthrough 183/233.5 battered forcefully through the line, has Capsey been run-out at the non-striker's end?! From the initial glance, she's toast, so long as there's fingers in the ball... and there are! A flick off the bowler's outstretched right hand, and Capsey is toast! 200/342.4 Kemp holes out! Didn't quite middle it as she went back over the bowler's head and Lewis is able to get under the ball from long-off. Sticks out the arms and holds on as it drops over the rope, before hopping to keep her balance. Fine work by the Ireland captain to see off dangerwoman Kemp 260/548 short ball down leg, Hunter can't quite grab it. Gibson sets off and is immediately looking for two, but she's well short coming back to the danger end! Good solid relay to Hunter from McBride, running up from fine leg. Another wicket falls as England's death-overs effort gets bloodier still 290/942.6 beaten by flight and turn, Hunter whips off the bails! Up goes the finger, and Dean walks - but we might have to untangle what's gone on here! Think her foot was back in the crease, but she's out caught behind, the ball grazing her outside edge on its way through 264/644.4 Villiers advances and picks out deep midwicket! Safely held by Little out on the rope and England lose another. Tried to come down and swing for the bleachers but this was severely underhit. Fourth of the day for Murray 270/747.4 drilled to long-on, Kelly gets her farewell wicket! Full length, heaved down the ground, doesn't have the distance... and that's a simple catch for Murray, who looks delighted to have got one in the column for her team-mate 288/848.5 plopped into the keeper's gloves, England bowled out inside their overs! Filer is no great shakes with the bat and opts to try and wang one over cover. Big top edge and a simple one for the keeper. From 200 for 2 with 16 overs to come, England have bimbled along to 291 all out 291/10Extras9 (nb 1, w 8)TOTAL291 all out (48.5 Overs, RR: 5.95)Fall of wickets: 1-73 (Maia Bouchier, 11.6 ov), 2-183 (Jodi Grewcock, 30.3 ov), 3-200 (Alice Capsey, 33.5 ov), 4-214 (Sophia Dunkley, 35.3 ov), 5-260 (Freya Kemp, 42.4 ov), 6-264 (Charlie Dean, 42.6 ov), 7-270 (Mady Villiers, 44.4 ov), 8-288 (Ryana MacDonald-Gay, 47.4 ov), 9-290 (Dani Gibson, 48 ov), 10-291 (Lauren Filer, 48.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.4 skids through, uproots the off stump! Flatter, quicker, it's the armball and Tector was back and across, trying to create some room through the covers. The ball kept following her, and probably took an inside-edge on the way through too. Fine bowling 80/24.5 short ball, picks out fine leg! Filer makes the breakthrough, as Lewis' strength becomes her weakness. She had put a couple of pulls away but the extra pace here means a top edge flies down to MacDonald-Gay, who judges a good running catch on the rope 24/127.3 extra flight and drift outside off, Hunter is done in! She came looking for the aggressive heave, but the line was always too wide, and Capsey had oodles of time to grab the ball and flick off the bails 107/333.6 huge top-edge, out to deep midwicket! The Boosh had an eternity to contemplate that one, but steadied herself well and pocketed the chance with ease. Prendergast stepped into her launch to leg but didn't go through with her full intent. That is potentially the start of the house of cards for Ireland 133/532.3 stumped off a bouncer! Now that's a collector's item! Well, well. Surprise short ball, Stokell wafted across her pull and missed it entirely. Capsey grabbed with a reverse-cup and pinged off the bails before the batter to rediscover her bearings. Smart work! 127/442.1 round the wicket, fired in full at 73mph, Paul attempts the reverse-ramp and has her stumps re-arranged! That was emphatic 171/840.3 splat, back goes off stump! Well, there was no point in patting it around for ten more overs. Ireland needed boundaries, Little backed herself to launch one, TCC held her length, and plucked out off stump once again 167/641.5 pop goes the weasel! Kelly leans back on a drive, doesn't remotely time it. The ball pings off a diagonal blade, up and into the hands of RMG on the edge of the ring at mid-off. That's the end of Kelly's international career! 171/743.4 more flight, fuller length and lovely late dip! Villiers claims her third with a beauty, beating McBride around the outside edge then bowling her middle-and-off. It's almost done now 175/944.2 perfect yorker, nails the off stump! McCartney plays a decent forward-defence too, but down the wrong line. Filer cleans up the tail in pretty clinical fashion, and England seal a comfortable 3-0 win! 177/10Extras13 (b 2, lb 1, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL177 all out (44.2 Overs, RR: 3.99)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Gaby Lewis, 4.5 ov), 2-80 (Alice Tector, 19.4 ov), 3-107 (Amy Hunter, 27.3 ov), 4-127 (Rebecca Stokell, 32.3 ov), 5-133 (Orla Prendergast, 33.6 ov), 6-167 (Louise Little, 40.3 ov), 7-171 (Arlene Kelly, 41.5 ov), 8-171 (Leah Paul, 42.1 ov), 9-175 (Lara McBride, 43.4 ov), 10-177 (Kia McCartney, 44.2 ov)
