00:00Paul Sterling's favorite zone is through the offside and it's a trademark stroke of his.
00:08Pierces the gap, good use of the feet when you get four.
00:18Man out at log off, over his head.
00:23That's a slower ball. Paul Sterling says, I like the look of that.
00:30Once he works away, it's going to be a chase near the boundary rope and it's going to reach the rope.
00:39Well that though is not mistimed, it's a glorious connection, it's another six, it takes Ireland to 49.
00:48Full toss, Sterling gives it the full treatment, goes straight for six.
00:52That is high in the air, feel the gathering underneath it and it's cleanly taken by Phil Salt.
01:01This one though has been hoisted, that's gone long and Sterling knows from the moment he struck it that that's going to clear the rope, indeed it does.
01:11This one has gone high, Will Jacks is gathering underneath it, he's close to the boundary rope but he takes the catch cleanly and Sterling departs for 34.
01:20That one's gone all the way.
01:30It's firmly struck by Tector, beats the fielder in close.
01:33Race is past Bethel and trouble on the boundary, Sam Curran gets there.
01:38That's a full toss, that could be a no ball, one thing is certain, it's gone for six.
01:49Good placement, finds the gap and will find four.
01:54Pump towards Long, often well over his head.
01:59This one though is plundered, one bounce over the rope.
02:02That's gone.
02:10That is high but glorious and good.
02:18Wonderful stroke.
02:19Tucker knows he doesn't need to run.
02:22And Tucker goes to his 50 in style.
02:25As they can guess.
02:26Big appeal and he's walking.
02:33And Dockrell has hit this high.
02:36Rian Ahmed is out there and while he gets a hand to it, he can't prevent it from going all the way.
02:40Six to finish.
02:44Lasered through the offside.
02:46This time there's no doubt about it.
02:48It will be a boundary.
02:49Now this could have gone straight up but he's got more than enough of it to go all the way.
02:59With Don Hopper and a drive of the highest quality.
03:03A drive that's been hit on the up.
03:07Will be costly.
03:09And it may well.
03:11Nearly cost the maximum.
03:12He's clobbered down the ground to start with.
03:16Just one bounce and races to the rope.
03:20Butler.
03:22Well, simply sensational.
03:24Plonks it onto the roof of the hospitality tent.
03:29He'll come at him again and again and again.
03:33Four, six, now four more.
03:35Goes deep in the crease and goes over the head of Midoff.
03:40Outstanding batting.
03:42Batting of the highest quality.
03:46Instead Butler.
03:47Well, he just dismisses him.
03:49There's almost a hint of arrogance in that swagger as the 50 comes up.
03:54Back live now.
03:56Well, it's cannon fodder at the moment.
03:58Just one bounce, four more.
03:59The leg side helped away.
04:04Not the right line.
04:05Too easy.
04:08That's a free hit.
04:09And Salt plunders it for six more.
04:14This goes a long way up.
04:15It could be the first opportunity in the field.
04:18It's taken.
04:19Curtis Camper.
04:21Because you don't want to go back.
04:23That's going to be four, isn't it?
04:25I think it is.
04:26It's just off the thick outside edge.
04:27Hit hard.
04:32And that'll beat the fielders.
04:34Salt will go to his 50 in style.
04:40Straight back.
04:42Just over the bowler's head.
04:47Cut away.
04:48While he didn't concede a boundary in his first over,
04:50he'll concede at the start of his second.
04:52Clubbed.
04:56Straight back over the bowler's head.
04:58Another four back-to-back boundaries.
05:03This one is hoisted high and long.
05:05And that has gone all the way.
05:08A very long way.
05:10For six.
05:11Spin.
05:13Fuller from Tector.
05:14He's chipped it straight to the fielder.
05:16And that's a glorious, glorious response.
05:19Ross Adair takes the cash.
05:23Glorious shot.
05:25Onto it very quickly.
05:28Got him.
05:30And what a way to mark his 100th appearance.
05:35Drags that one down.
05:36And that's, well, a free hit really.
05:38And Salt cashes in.
05:40Another maximum for him.
05:42He continues along his merry way.
05:46Lasered into the leg side.
05:48Finds the gap.
05:49And finds that little pocket.
05:51But this is picked up and pumped down the ground.
05:57It's the match-up that's in favour of the left-handed batter.
06:00And Curran gets his first boundary.
06:02It's a maximum.
06:06Oh dear.
06:07Now the speed.
06:08Picked up and carted away.
06:13Smashed again, Bronma.
06:16Sam Curran.
06:18Oh, he's picked it.
06:20Leg side.
06:21Man underneath it.
06:22Takes the catch.
06:24Oh, that's wide.
06:26One handed.
06:28And he's got his man.
06:32Not with that shot.
06:37It's a flick with those wrists again.
06:40And it'll be four.
06:44Catch it.
06:45It's got his man.
06:47Nathan.
06:49And Humphries.
06:50Matthew Humphries.
06:51It's got his man.
06:52And it's Curtis Camper.
06:56That'll do it.
06:58Jamie Overton.
07:00Smashes Barry McCarthy over.
07:02Long on for four.
07:04And wins the match.
07:05This first T20 International.
07:08Here at Malahide for England.
07:09190.
07:11Is not going to be enough with salt in this mood.
