Two for Tilly Corteen-Coleman. Two in the over and she's cleaned up the Ireland innings.

In truth the innings never got the momentum needed to challenge this England team.

It’s a soft dismissal but it’s hard for the tailenders to add much at this stage.

Can they get themselves up to 180 and give themselves something to bowl at?

Ire 163-8

Issy Wong's team-mates all congregated to give her a pat on the back or a high five after that wicket.

Wong has had a difficult few years, but has bowled very well today.

She finishes with 5-33 from her 10 overs.

Great moment for Issy Wong, I'm really pleased for her.

She's had her struggles in recent years with her run-up, in and out of the team, but she's been in fine form this summer.

Richly deserves this five-wicket haul, her first for England in ODI cricket.

That's the mighty finishing blow for Ireland with Amy Hunter departing.

WICKET

Hunter c Villiers b Wong 64 (Ire 163-8)

Amy Hunter thwacks Issy Wong down the ground for four, but perishes next ball.

The Ireland batter slogs into the leg side and is caught by Mady Villiers in the deep.

Wong's first five-wicket haul for England across all formats.

Bit of a suicidal run there but she had to do something after missing out on two short, wide balls.

She would have been miles short of her ground, Mady Villiers is frustrated with herself.

It's been great from Issy Wong. She had the early wicket of Gaby Lewis and she's backing it up at the back end.

Cara Murray trying to add a bit of impetus to the innings, the last few shots have had a bit of venom but that one is straight to Jodi Grewcock.

Ire 153-6

Amy Hunter has her dancing shoes on as she skips down pitch to Tilly Corteen-Coleman. She's not quite able to get the meat of the bat on it, though, and the ball thuds into the turf at Derby.

It's not been a fantastic showing from Ireland but you have to give credit to England. They've been animals in the field.

It's an area they've been under the microscope for in recent years but I've been impressed with their work in the outfield today.

Ire 150-6

A single apiece for Amy Hunter and Cara Murray to finish the over for Ireland. Eight overs remaining to get themselves up to some sort of total which might challenge England.

That's a cracking shot from Cara Murray. I want to know why she's been prodding around for the last few minutes.

She's thrown her hands at that and it's a great cricket shot.

That's undefendable, to be honest. We can say England are a better side than Ireland but if you've got the number eight batting, not 10 or 11, and you can't get a single in four balls with four fielders on the boundary, you've got to do better.
