2.45pm Right, so England finish on 334 for 8. Could have been a lot more with the start they got but they will be happy with the final score. Will Jacks stood tall, falling six short of what would have been his maiden ODI ton. Saim Hain, one of the four debutants today, kept his composure scoring 89 off 82. Ben Duckett also stroked a sprightly 48. England had raced away to 44 for 0 off the first four overs, but Ireland pulled things back a bit. George Dockrell was the pick of the Irish bowlers picking 3 for 43 off eight overs, while Craig Young returned 2 for 38 off his seven. Josh Little, however, was quite off colour going for 82 off his ten. Can Ireland chase this down? Join Alan in a bit to find out.

McCarthy to Hartley, (no ball) 1 run, Very full on the middle stump. He was well across and just about gets his bat down to tickle it down to fine leg. Not the end of the innings as McCarthy has over-stepped and by some distance.

Last ball of the innings

McCarthy to Hain, OUT, No debut century for Hain. Was a fuller-length ball on the stumps. Hain gets across looking to whip it across the line. Gets a leading edge that spoons straight up and mid-off gets across to his right to complete the catch. Hain falls for 89 on debut. Lovely innings.

Adair to Hain, 2 runs, Juuust short of deep point. Fuller outside off, he slices it uppishly with two men in the deep. The fielder hares in quickly, but can't quite reach it
