5.10pm Quite an ordinary effort overall from Ireland, but Curtis Campher's unbeaten half-century on debut has given their bowlers something to bowl at. David Willey proved a point or two upon his return to the side with a five-for, and he was well complemented by Saqib Mahmood. In between, got to see a few ripping googlies and flipper from Adil Rashid. On the other side, we'll be back with Jason Roy taking strike. Looking forward to seeing him bat again.

Dave: "That´s Campher´s only 2nd List A match. got 54 in the other one"
Abhinav: "Where does Campher's innings feature on most balls faced on ODI debut?" -- Andy Flower leads the pack. Campher is well below in the list.

James De Lamber: "I wonder how much England will miss Mr Plunkett and his wicket-taking ability in the middle overs in the coming years - and more importantly, who will replace him in that role? Perhaps this innings would've been over much earlier had he been tying down an end with the Spin Wizards at the other..."

Niccolas Miller: "Campher for the Test side anyone?" -- Has talent and temperament, but will they play Tests in the near future? Given the way their finances are currently.
