Tbh Ireland have done brilliantly to delay the inevitable onslaught to now. Hopefully the poms will drop a few wickets by taking risks.

Its a massive massive ask. I dont think we will

KevIRL

Nixon with a 6. Then out!

Class! It sounds mean, but I'm glad he didn't get his century.

It's a tough ask, but it's gettable.

mike65

So then target of 267. Ireland won't make that. I'm an England fan again.

94 off the last 10 overs.

Mike.

Hey hey, lay off the capt. He brought us through the Pakistan game. Made a lot of good decisions today. Also he missed his top bowlers last 3 overs through injury.

Remember we are a team of very limited ability. Not world beaters

It's amazing how our expectations of the cricket team has changed in the last few weeks. Disappointed myself.
