The rain has stopped play again. England are 105/5 in 14 overs. They are 5 runs behind the DLS par score
That’s a massive hit. A perfect start for England. Moeen Ali hammers that back of the length delivery over long on for a maximum. A much-needed six for England
Ireland have their fifth. McCarthy strikes. He bowls that back of the length and Malan goes for the pull, top edges that and is caught by Fionn Hand at third man for 35 off 37
Ireland have made up for those two catches in this over. Dockrell bowls that short, on to the stumps and Brook drags that one but miscues it completely and is caught in the deep for 18 off 21 by Delany
After 8 overs,England 48/3 ( Dawid Malan 21 , Harry Brook 7)
IRE vs ENG LIVE
Excellent over from Barry McCarthy, considering he went for 10 in his last. Just gave 4 this time and England are struggling to get a move here
A stunning start with the ball 👏

Two wickets for Josh Little. One for Fionn Hand.
England are 37-3 after six overs.#IREvENG #BackingGreen #T20WorldCup ☘️🏏 pic.twitter.com/ILrpMQcm7V
Ireland seamers are making it difficult for the England batters here. Fionn Hand has a wicket now and it’s Ben Stokes who has been cleaned up with a touch fuller delivery, just angling into the left-hander a bit for 6 off 8. England are three down now
Josh Little brings up a century of T20 wickets in style 💯#IREvENG #BackingGreen #T20WorldCup ☘️🏏 pic.twitter.com/XIktY9J4tK

Little strikes again. Hales was dropped on the previous one but not this time. He pulls a back of the length ball, top edges that and is caught by Adai for 7 off 5 around the backward square leg region. England lose two now
WHAT A START!

Josh Little nicks off Jos Buttler for a duck second ball 🙌#IREvENG #BackingGreen #T20WorldCup ☘️🏏 pic.twitter.com/DX5xui0YeF
Ireland have struck. Joshua Little has struck. It’s the big one. Jos Buttler has edged that fuller delivery, moving away from him to the wicket-keeper Tucker. He is gone for 0 off 2. England lose their first
Ireland have been bundled out for 157 after a steady start in the innings. Stokes picks up the final wicket as Joshua Little edges a back of the length ball, outside off to the wicket-keeper. He has been undone on the very first ball for a 0. England need 158 to get two crucial points now
After 19 overs,Ireland 156/9 ( Gareth Delany 11 , Josh Little 0)
England vs Ireland LIVE
Two wickets came in that over as Sam Curran returns with figures of 2/30 in three overs
Ireland have suffered a batting collapse here. Sam Curran gets his first of the day. He bowls a perfect yorker, on to the stumps, McCarthy gives himself some but misses the ball completely as it hits the stumps. He is gone for 3 off 3
A half-century for the captain - his eighth in T20Is 🙌

He's been class.#IREvENG #BackingGreen #T20WorldCup ☘️🏏 pic.twitter.com/yTDVZldrPY
And the pattern continues. A boundary followed by a wicket. Curtis Campher had got a boundary on the previous one and he just needed to let this carry to the wicket-keeper. Wood bowled that back of the length, going down the leg, the batter tried to pull it but only managed to get some bat on it and the rest was done by Buttler behind the stumps
After 16 overs,Ireland 133/5 ( Curtis Campher 14 , Gareth Delany 1)
England vs Ireland
That over started with a boundary but has got England two important wickets. Livingstone removed Andrew Balbirnie and then cleaned up George Dockrell
Balbirnie had been cautious against the spinners and this was probably the first time he took it on and has been caught in the deep. Livingstone bit of a quicker delivery from Livingstone, bowled fuller and outside off as the batter goes for the slog sweep and is caught by Hales at backward square leg for 62 off 47
Heartbreaking for Lorcan Tucker 💔
— Cricket Ireland (@cricketireland) October 26, 2022
Andrew Balbirnie nails a straight drive, Adil Rashid gets a finger on it, and the non-striker is out of his ground.
Still, a special partnership 👏
SCORE: https://t.co/LUtLhuvQAq#IREvENG #BackingGreen #T20WorldCup ☘️🏏 pic.twitter.com/5KgUmuyP7Y
Andrew Balbirnie guides one to the leg side, gets a single and brings up a well-deserved 50 in 40 deliveries. He has been in some good form, just what Ireland wanted. Has been cautious against the spinners but has been taking on the pacers with precision
Ohhh! One wicket brings another one. Tector departs for 0 off 2 after he edges one to the wicket-keeper behind. Ireland have lost two wickets quickly
What a disastrous way to get dismissed. Lorcan Tucker is gone for 34 off 27. Andrew Balbirnie just pushed that final delivery of the over straight back to the bowler and Rashid put in the dive to stop the ball, got some fingers on it as the ball hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end. Tucker was way out of his crease. Ireland lose two now
After 10 overs,Ireland 92/1 ( Andy Balbirnie (C) 41 , Lorcan Tucker (W) 30)
ENG vs IRE LIVE
Woakes isn’t really having a great time at the office today. Balbirnie hit him for two fours and a six in that one. Bowling short to Balbirnie and Tucker isn’t really working for England at the moment
You can’t bowl short to these two. Woakes bangs it short but that’s going down the leg and Andrew Balbirnie pulls that one to deep fine leg for a boundary
What a start - 59-1 in the powerplay 💥

After 6 overs,Ireland 59/1 ( Andy Balbirnie (C) 14 , Lorcan Tucker (W) 25)
ENG vs IRE LIVE
Tucker has taken on the bowler who has come into this game on the back of a fifer in the previous one. He has his Sam Curran for a boundary through mid off and finishes off the powerplay with a maximum over long on
After 4 overs,Ireland 37/1 ( Andy Balbirnie (C) 8 , Lorcan Tucker (W) 10)
ENG vs IRE LIVE SCORE
That’s another expensive over from Woakes. He has been hit for a couple of boundaries in that one and ends up giving away 11. He has gone a bit too full so far
We've lost our first. Two balls after hitting Mark Wood for six, Paul Stirling falls.#IREvENG #BackingGreen #T20WorldCup ☘️🏏 pic.twitter.com/d2dMwNMuCm

Here’s the first one for England. Mark Wood had troubled Stirling with that extra bit of bounce. The batter did get a six previously but not this time as he throws his bat on to that short one, outside off but only manages to give a catch to Sam Curran stationed around third man region. He is a standing a bit fine. Stirling goes for 14 off 8
We're on our way back out. No overs have been lost as yet.

The players are back on the field. Ireland resume the innings at 11/0 after 1.3 overs with Chris Woakes bowling his first over. He has already been hit for a boundary
The rain has STOPPED! The big square covers are coming off which means we can resume LIVE ACTION soon.
Nine balls in, the rain has returned.
