If we beat England, they'll never speak to us again First Soccer and Rugby, now Cricket?? And they are not even our games

Ireland won the toss and have elected to bat first

Is this game being used as part of the super 8 series?Are the points for this of any significance?

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Whoever wins today - those 2 points go towards the Super 8 point totals

[Gabriel_Hurl]

I'm not going to tempt fate  by saying things are looking ok at the minute

[Rossie11]

Agree Gabriel. In fairness they shouldnt have a chance of winning a game in Super 8 but if they give a few of teams a scare it will another huge achievement. I mean look at the hammerings dished out to Scotland Netherlands, even Bangladesh the past week.

Ireland 61 for 2 in 15.3 overs

3:47 PM GMT (15.3 overs) Powell to Morgan: WICKET!. An amazing catch by keeper Ramdin as a mistimed pull flies very fine on the leg side and a posse of West Indians follows the ball

[ONeill]

77 for 3 in 21 overs

You'd settle for around 160-200.

[tyroneboi]

82-4 now

collapsing now - think this is just an indication of what will happen in the Super 8s!

[ONeill]

122 for 4 in 34 overs

I think it's going to be respectable enough.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

time to start swinging the lumber

210 to 220 is defendable

[ONeill]

133 for 5 in 37 overs

I wouldn't even think about winning it, Gabriel. I'd say they'd be happy with 180.
