***Official*** Ireland v England at Dublin

[Neil Pickup]

For as much as you want to trust my maths after the innings break palaver, the current D/L par score is 57/2.

A revised target would be 159 off 30, or 106 off 20 - the latter of which would require 63 from 7 overs.

Vastly more plausible.

Don't much like the sound of that. Our batting lineup really struggles to score that quickly.

Not looking like we'll get a game at all at the moment, though.

 

[Jacknife]

68 off 7 I've just read on twitter.

 

[superkingdave]

So looks like a washout then...

 

[MW1304]

If we only need 7 more overs to constitute a game, then why is 5:34 the latest we can restart the innings? I know we 'have' to leave at about 9 but that still leaves plenty of time.

 

[IrishOpener]

Why did England need to book a flight for 9:10?, really not good by the ECB...

This seems strange to me too, it won't be getting dark for ages yet.

 

[Jacknife]

112 off 90 they're saying now.
Bloody hell raining again.

Probably want to get everyone back the day before T20 Finals day. Seems a bit daft but there you go.

 

[BoyBrumby]

154 off 28 is the revised target according to cricinfo. No batting power play. Three bowlers bowling 6 overs, two 5.

EDIT: Or not. Fuggin' rain.

 

[Jacknife]

Woakes has already bowled his 6, so it means Finn's got one and maybe 5 more from Dernbach.

 

[Howe_zat]

Now reporting a target of 129 from 23 overs. Four or 5 overs easch, so Finn and Woakes will have already bowled their quota. Which means we'll have Ravi or Borthwick right up to the end.

 

[Jacknife]

83 in 10 overs

 

[MW1304]

Out.

KOB time.

 

[Jacknife]

Looks like it's pissing it down.

 

[Uppercut]

Fantastic, a spastic dismissal. Just what we needed.

 

[Neil Pickup]

I reckon it will be 4 max for anyone else as Woakes has already had 6.

Borthwick has bowled death overs already this summer - would figure he'll get that job alongside Dernbach.

 

[MW1304]

Hahaha! Here we go. This should be fun.

 

[MW1304]

Really irresponsible play by KOB. We'll never complete enough overs if we keep having to retrieve the ball.
