131-3 off 30 overs. Going not too bad. An aggressive innings from someone could run this close.

We probably need England to beat Bangladesh and they are bolloxing about at 111-3 off 28 overs.

The Irish lads are starting to bet well......in our own game and for England

good oul site to keep an eye on the scores. The run rate required is pretty high at 7.67 per over at the moment so would need some big hits fairly shortly

Batting powerplay still to come

Eoin Morgan 50 not out for South Africa vs. Bangladesh.

Joyce just out. 177/4

Denn Forever · March 11, 2011, 11:09:12 AM

185 for 4 (39.1 overs)

100 runs in 10 overs. Hope K O'Brien has a good one.

Oops. Gary Wilson and Ed Joyce seem to have carried the fight today. It's still possible, but they are running out of overs. 197 for 5 after 41.

He didn't.

Still exciting though.

I think its GAME OVER, collapse with the lose of 3 wickets in 4 overs, 200 - 7

make that 4 wickets in 5 overs.....

fook, that was quite the collapse, just nipped off for a toilet, and come back to this!!

(pun not intended)

It was on for a while but the loss of Joyce and KOB in quick succession along with the inexplicable dismissal of Wilson put paid to another upset.

England in a bit of bother alright despite Morgan's fine effort.

Kinda frustrating when you look at the WIndies and Bangladesh games. Both games Ireland could've won!

Sure that is the beauty of Irish sport at that level, gallant losers!

They could and should have lost to England. They were never particularly close to beating the West Indies
