- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 another gargantuan wipe, but he's holed out! Slow through the air from Rashid, Stirling's big hit is dragged a touch leg-side with imperfect timing... Jacks at long-on steadies himself well and gathers with his body facing the rope 67/27.2 a huge hack out of the full length! Pace off, dipping with extra bounce, Adair swings for the hills but only manages a top-edge out to midwicket. Ireland's first wicket falls. 57/119.5 bouncer, flicks the glove, Buttler takes the catch! Overton gets his reward for that persistent leg-sided line, short and into the body, to end a fine knock, and a super stand 190/3Extras14 (lb 5, w 9)TOTAL196/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-57 (Ross Adair, 7.2 ov), 2-67 (Paul Stirling, 8.3 ov), 3-190 (Lorcan Tucker, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 And now Hume gets Salt! It was a lazy shot from the opener, wide, full, Salt goes at it but doesn't wholly commit and ends up taking his bottom hand off the bat as he reaches, skewing out to deep point. Adair with the take 181/54.4 Humphreys gets Buttler! Smart stuff from the 22-year-old - brave, too, take pace off that. It dips just short of where Buttler anticipates, meaning his heave down the ground barely gets out of the circle. Comes down with snow on it, but Curtis Campher takes the catch 74/18.4 Chipped to cover! Tector wins out, tossing the new pill up, full, and gets Bethell impulsively driving inside-put! Not a great shot at all, but Ireland have another 116/210.3 Bowled him! Length delivery dies in the surface, Rehan charging like a man possessed, and past the ball, which goes under the bat and into the base of middle stump 130/315.3 Hume gets Curran!> It's been a horrible eight (legal) deliveries for Hume, but his ninth is something to celebrate. It was full and on leg stump, Curran whipped it high to the leg side, where Dockrell settles under it 180/416.6 Banton tries to do it... but finds Campher down the ground! Flat from Banton, but not great contact, taken at a three-quarters long off 191/6Extras5 (nb 1, w 4)TOTAL197/6 (17.4 Overs, RR: 11.15)Fall of wickets: 1-74 (Jos Buttler, 4.4 ov), 2-116 (Jacob Bethell, 8.4 ov), 3-130 (Rehan Ahmed, 10.3 ov), 4-180 (Sam Curran, 15.3 ov), 5-181 (Phil Salt, 15.6 ov), 6-191 (Tom Banton, 16.6 ov)
