A handy shot to end Orla Prendergast's over as Dani Gibson steps across the crease and scoops the Ireland seamer for four.

Four wickets for Cara Murray, who brings her tally for the series to eight, the most for any bowler in the series.

She's been a touch more direct today, with one in three balls challenging the stumps, far higher than her performances in the first two ODIs

Ireland continue to chip away and they can be happy with how they are closing out this England innings. But they will still be facing a very difficult chase.

That's some sharp work behind the stumps from Amy Hunter. There was a bit of an edge and there was a stumping appeal as well.

Charlie Dean looks frustrated but I don't think she has any reasons to be.

WICKET

Dean c Hunter b Murray 4 (Eng 264-4)

Two in three balls for Ireland!

It's four and out for England captain Charlie Dean, who whacks her first ball from Cara Murray through mid-wicket for four, but feathers an edge behind from the next delivery.

Had Dean not knicked it then she might have been dismissed stumped anyway, as she was a little way out of her crease and Amy Hunter took off the bails after collecting the ball.

Hunter appealed to the square leg umpire, so I think she thought that was the method of dismissal.

Gaby Lewis has done fantastically well there. Her arms were stretched out quite far in front of her and she took it on the move.

Freya Kamp looked in complete disbelief that she had caught it. Lewis has done really, really well.

WICKET

Kemp c Lewis b Murray 23 (Eng 260-5)

Another catch on the ropes!

Freya Kemp advances and lifts Cara Murray down the ground, but finds Gaby Lewis at long-off.

The Ireland captain stretches out to her left and completes the catch, holding her balance to stop herself stepping over the boundary.

Eng 257-4

Only a couple of singles from the remainder of the over.

England should comfortably make 300, but they'll be keen to move a fair way beyond thar mark.

It was quite a simple shot really. A small step out of her crease and thumped down the ground. Dani Gibson displaying her power and that high backlift gives so much power to hit through the line of the ball.
