WICKET! Maguire c&b Corteen-Coleman 1 (Ireland 163-9)

The left-arm spinner tosses it up and Maguire offers a simple return grab. TCC gets herself on the board.

46th over: Ireland 163-8 (Dempsey 0, Maguire 1) Wong sends in a yorker but Dempsey just about gets her bat under it. The quick closes with five for 33 from her 10 overs, including 41 dots – top work.

Five wickets for Issy Wong!

WICKET! Hunter c Villiers b Wong 64 (Ireland 163-8) Wong runs in for her final over, chasing a five-wicket haul. Hunter pummels the first ball down the ground for four, but finds deep midwicket with the second! The impressive Hunter departs.

45th over: Ireland 159-7 (Hunter 60, Maguire 1) Hunter hasn’t had enough of the strike in this innings, and she’s restricted to just two deliveries against Corteen-Coleman.

Share

44th over: Ireland 156-7 (Hunter 58, Maguire 0) Wong’s method has been straightforward: just bowl at the stumps. Her execution has been excellent.

Share

WICKET! Murray c Grewcock b Wong 9 (Ireland 156-7)

Wong has four – Murray tries to go over the top but can’t beat mid-off. The quick has her best figures for England.

Share

43rd over: Ireland 153-6 (Hunter 57, Murray 7) Hunter sees the flight from Corteen-Coleman and runs down … but the connection is far from sweet. It evades the fielder but only produces a single.

Share

42nd over: Ireland 150-6 (Hunter 55, Murray 6) Wong is on the way to her best figures in international cricket, though they’re hurt a little by Murray squeezing the ball behind point for four.

Share

41st over: Ireland 144-6 (Hunter 54, Murray 1) It’s a pointless leg-before review from England after Corteen-Coleman tosses the ball up against Cara Murray. It’s pitching outside leg stump. Murray is struggling against Corteen-Coleman’s flight, though she nabs a single to keep the strike.

Share

WICKET! Little c Grewcock b Wong 2 (Ireland 142-6)

Capsey puts another down. Wong, so accurate, gets a little outside-edge off Little and the keeper, up to the stumps, can’t hold on. But it doesn’t change much because Little goes moments later, failing to clear mid-off after five dots.

40th over: Ireland 142-6 (Hunter 53, Murray 0)

Share

39th over: Ireland 142-5 (Hunter 53, Little 2) Corteen-Coleman very nearly skids the ball through Little, who gets a healthy inside-edge.

Share

38th over: Ireland 141-5 (Hunter 53, Little 1) Louise Little joins Amy Hunter.

WICKET! Paul b Wong 23 (Ireland 140-5)

Wong, who bowled a really solid new-ball spell, returns and breaks the stand! Again, it’s all about her stump-to-stump line – Paul hacks across the line and inside-edges on to the poles.

37th over: Ireland 137-4 (Hunter 51, Paul 22) Hunter and Paul reach their 50 partnership off 76 deliveries. And the milestone prompts Paul to get funky: the left-hander becomes a righty as she swats Villiers past short third for four.

Share

Half-century for Amy Hunter!

36th over: Ireland 131-4 (Hunter 50, Paul 17) Hunter nudges into the leg-side and gets to raise her bat for a half-century, her 11th in ODIs. She’s just 20!

35th over: Ireland 129-4 (Hunter 49, Paul 16) Villiers returns. “That’s lovely, that,” says Capsey behind the stumps as Villiers tosses the ball up to Paul. Hunter sweeps for one before pulling for … one. It could’ve ended up a two after a misfield in the deep but Hunter must wait a little longer for her half-century.

Share

34th over: Ireland 124-4 (Hunter 46, Paul 14) This is better from Hunter, who has decided to raise the volume. She skips down the pitch again and, this time, launches MacDonald-Gay over the leg-side for four.

Share

33rd over: Ireland 117-4 (Hunter 40, Paul 13) Dean tweaks away for another quiet over.

Share

32nd over: Ireland 114-4 (Hunter 39, Paul 12) Ryana MacDonald-Gay is back and has a shout for leg-before … but it looks as if it’s going down the leg-side. England decide to review … but it looks a waste. And it is, comfortably missing the stumps. Hunter closes the over with a welcome show of intent, coming down the pitch to drive gracefully through the covers. Cracking stroke.

Share

31st over: Ireland 108-4 (Hunter 34, Paul 11) England aren’t giving Ireland anything loose, but the visitors surely need to risk it and play a few big shots. Hunter drives for a couple and Paul sweeps for two of her own.

Share

30th over: Ireland 101-4 (Hunter 30, Paul 8) Villiers is five overs in and has figures of two for 10.

Share

29th over: Ireland 100-4 (Hunter 29, Paul 8) Ireland reach three figures … but England are in full control.

Share

28th over: Ireland 95-4 (Hunter 28, Paul 7) Villiers nearly has another to close the over, getting an edge off Hunter – but Capsey can’t hold on to a tough chance.

Share

27th over: Ireland 92-4 (Hunter 27, Paul 5) Gibson runs through another quiet one.

Share

26th over: Ireland 89-4 (Hunter 26, Paul 3) Villiers, for the first time today, gets through an over without taking a wicket.

Share

25th over: Ireland 86-4 (Hunter 25, Paul 1) Halfway through the innings and Ireland seem quite stuck. They were building patiently through that Hunter-Prendergast stand – but then came Villiers.

Share

WICKET! Stokell c Gibson b Villiers 3 (Ireland 83-4)

Oh dear. Villiers tosses the ball up and Stokell just chips the ball straight to extra cover. Ireland are in quite a bit of bother now.

24th over: Ireland 83-4 (Hunter 25, Paul 0)

23rd over: Ireland 80-3 (Hunter 23, Stokell 2) Rebecca Stokell begins with a clip over midwicket for a couple as Gibson continues to nibble away. Hunter, despite coming in at three in the second over, has faced just 41 deliveries.
