Josh Little to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Josh Little strikes and gets rid of the dangerous Jos Buttler straightaway! A dream start for the Irish this. A fullish delivery, around off. It is angled across the batter and Buttler tries to launch it down the ground. However, all he manages to do is to get an outside edge which carries to the keeper and Lorcan Tucker takes an easy catch behind the stumps. Game on, folks!

Josh Little to Alex Hales, OUT! CAUGHT! This time Hales is gone, big wicket and England are under pressure here! Little delivers a sharp short delivery. Hales tries to pull it. However, he gets a top edge and Mark Adair who is at short fine leg runs forward and to his left to take a fine catch. Can Ireland capitalise on this good start now?

Fionn Hand to Ben Stokes, OUT! BOWLED! STOKES GONE! Fullish delivery swings in late to Stokes as he tries to drive it without much foot movement. The ball sneaks past the gap between bat and pad to rattle into the stumps. England are now 3 down inside the powerplay. Fionn Hand is pumped up and Irish after starting well with the bat in the first half, have started well with the ball as well.

Gareth Delany to Dawid Malan, FOUR! Unlucky for Ireland but England will take it. Tossed up, around off. Malan tries to drive it but gets a thick outside edge that runs past short third man for a boundary.

George Dockrell to Harry Brook, OUT! CAUGHT! This time it is taken and Brook departs! Dockrell bowls it short and on off. Brook goes back and tries to pull it over the mid-wicket fence. However, the boudaries are bigger on that side and Brook fails to clear the fence as Delany in the deep takes a fine catch. England are under the pump here!

Barry McCarthy to Dawid Malan, OUT! CAUGHT! Malan's struggle comes to end. Short and outside off, Malan shuffles across looking to thump this towards the leg side. Gets a thick outside edge that flies to Fionn Hand at third man who takes a fine catch running to his right and keeping his eyes on the ball till the last moment. England are now 5 down.
