Wicket is apparently pretty decent for batting. Some exceptional catches taken by the Irish.
Kev O'Brien took a good one at backward point and John Mooney took an incredible one on the boundary to get rid of Luke Wright. The pitch is seaming a bit but it's not a 203/9 pitch. Regan West was absolutely all over England.

To be fair, doesn't Botha bowl with the keeper up?
Yeah, was a seriously awkward take.

I'm back early, can't be having the delay, stuff to do this evening. Got in for free though cos I knew someone on the gate. Great performance from the Irish, really happy with that. Confident we'd have chased 204 here.

This should be a stroll in the park for Ireland. England playing 2 frontline pacers in Sidebottom and Bresnan which is pretty much putting a gun to your head in any situation, let alone in these conditions. Im guessing this is an official game?

D/L throwing up no surprises with a very generous target as expected.

Was West bowling seamers?
Nope, left-arm tweaks. Bowled brilliantly.

The D/L target is indeed very generous, I'm wondering yet again what possessed Collingwood to choose to bat at the toss. It's balanced out a touch though because the Ireland side is far better suited to chasing 200 in 50 overs. All 11 can bat and score runs but only a couple can slog when required.

Porterfield goes early, caught at point off the bowling of Bresnan.

20/1 off 2.4 overs. Niall O'Brien was out on the boundary during the innings break talking to kids. Seems a great bloke.

O'Brien gone too. Cutting Tim Bresnan straight to point.

25/2 after 3.3. Plenty of batting to come, not to worry.

Still got their ace card in Kevin O'Brien to come. Just need these two to stay till around the 10th over.
