00:00the media plan a miss Sonny Baker takes the new ball from here at the castle
00:21and I've got the company of Isabel Joyce use of the feet and an extension of the
00:27arms to go with it good stroke from Ross Adair and the first over will finish
00:32through the boundary Ireland are up and underway it's eight for none
00:38picked up into the offside just a bounce or two back-to-back boundaries for
00:43Ireland cannot give width to Paul Sterling he loves it through the offside
00:47the groundsman there there goes down the ground gets a good piece of it gonna go
00:54all the way the first maximum potentially of many here today at Malahide what a
01:00stroke that is pumps and pump down the ground with real power that races to the
01:09rope Ireland taking a liking to Sonny Baker here so Adair gives himself room to
01:16exploit the acreage on the offside he's got that so well
01:22steady balls out here Dawson exactly where he's looking there there's a big
01:27appeal the umpire Aiden Seaver completely unmoved Butler was convinced as was Liam
01:34Dawson I would imagine Jacob Bethel was will say let's go up and have a look he
01:40does there is a spike as the ball passes the bat
01:50goes through the offside over pitched by Dawson and punished by Ross Adair held his shape very nicely
01:59short and this one's lofted under the infield it'll bounce just before the rope and
02:04head over Ross Adair into the 30s inside me Alan Wilkins and Ross Adair
02:13straight back over the bowler it struck powerfully two fielders converging but it's going to be both it
02:17bisects the field is brilliantly and Ireland bring up their 50 with the first ball of the seventh over
02:23key moment down on one knee the fielder is out there and it's a good take
02:29very good take Jordan Cox with a very safe pair of hands
02:36that is connected fielder out there there is waiting for it a bit of a bubble but Luke Wood
02:41eventually takes the catch and Lorcan Tucker goes for one after making a half century to start this series
02:48this one is struck firmly but it struck straight at Banton who stayed out on the rope and a fourth
02:56Ireland wicket falls final delivery of the ninth over Jamie Overton has struck twice in the over
03:03and Ireland 58 for four after nine
03:08that one shorter and it's put away Kalitz with his first boundary in international cricket
03:16the wicket of Ross Adair
03:19this one though that's the infield it might go all the way it's an excellent stroke
03:25and does beat the fielder Patton with a valiant effort to reach it and most difficult
03:33that is cleanly cracked goes all the way Harry Tector with his first six national cricket two
03:42top edge Adil Rashid is underneath it and Harry Tector goes for 28
03:50Dawson strikes again
03:51that is glorious it is massive Ben Kalitz let's plump that over the grandstand 100 up for Ireland in magnificent fashion
04:08tries to go again this one's chipped up it'll be easy and Kalitz departs the sixth wicket down Bethel with the
04:14catch until Rashid 20 20 internationals in a row now
04:25and McCarthy goes first ball suspect he might review in discussion with Gareth Delaney here
04:33he goes up
04:38pitching outside off impact in line
04:41wickets hitting
04:45pulled away by Delaney gets a good piece of it
04:50may well get all of it to get the maximum reward
04:53finds it precisionly through the gap almost surgically from Delaney
05:01that's a little boost that Ireland needed 12 runs come from the 16th
05:07goes with a slower ball but Delaney times it ever so well he'll get four more
05:13what a return to Irish colours for Gareth Delaney in the wickets
05:17a few days ago on his 100th appearance and now in the runs
05:22now picked up into the leg side that's gone a long way
05:27back-to-back boundaries Ireland much like South Africa did taking a liking to Sonny Baker
05:36gets it again nails it again back-to-back maximums this one's even bigger
05:41150 160 and maybe more still on the cards thanks to one man that's Gareth Delaney
05:52innovation clever from Humphreys who hits with the spin does enough to pick it
05:58doesn't make Harry Tector's mistake of hitting it up goes along the ground gets four
06:02goes again but straight to the man Humphreys only really plays one way
06:12i think it might be the debutante out there who does really well to take it
06:17so Delaney goes straight down the ground unleashes those long levers and gets a boundary
06:24home crowd love every second of that
06:26nails it much more like it from Delaney they'll be a boundary shy of what would be a fourth t20i50
06:36and a first against a full member nation
06:41won't be 50 for Gareth Delaney might get a second here maybe a
06:46slightly foolish throw from the captain Jacob Bethel an ironic cheers ring around Malahide
06:53but there's still a smile from the young England captain it's certainly not what Ireland would
06:58have wanted it's nothing like the 196 they made on Wednesday but i think there's a strong argument
07:04to be made that the batting conditions are a little more difficult and at least Ireland will have
07:09something on the board to defend
07:13starts with the arm ball very much something that he's going to try and intend to bowl quite a bit
07:19do what Akhil Hussain does up top with that new ball for the West Indies so well
07:25goes over the offside now long off is out but it goes well to his left
07:29but it goes all the way carries and flies for six
07:36oh brilliant effort is this taken Curtis Camper says yes
07:41this might be one of the best catches you will ever see
07:44not the right length a good swivel hook shot from Bethel up to the shortest part of the ground
07:57crashed away outstanding batting from Bethel
08:01now a bit of Caribbean flair shades of Brian Charles Lara in that one as it is hammered through the offside
08:16picked up to the leg side carries and taken Gareth Delaney is having a marvelous day
08:24and Craig Young has the young English captain hard hands oh that's not the right line and that is launched
08:35possibly the biggest hit of the day
08:40glorious stroke probably one of the shots of the day to be frank a square drive of the highest quality
08:46away from 50 and that might be the boundary races away and the 50 up for England
08:58that is hoisted high and handsome it's a long way over the rope
09:03consecutive boundaries this one goes for six the second six of the innings for Jordan Cox
09:08and that evades everybody somehow and will go to the boundary for four buys
09:21this one though rocks onto the back foot does Cox and sends it over the ropes for the third time in the innings
09:26trying down and steered away and put away by Phil Salt
09:41oh that is disappointing from somebody who pulled off one of the finest catches
09:47we have seen in international cricket Curtis Comfort
09:50next and gone Phil Salt departs for 29 after his 89 in the first t20 international against Ireland
10:00Curtis Comfort strikes just enough
10:06a lot of his wicket-taking success is this is cut away and it's going to be four thought
10:11Delaney was going to get around but it's that shorter side of the ground
10:14guided away wasn't a bad delivery but I think Barry McCarthy might chase in vain
10:23it'll be the second boundary the over as McCarthy has to get the hurdle in watch
10:30another edge and that's another edge that McCarthy will chase in vain
10:35White a little unlucky as he skews away from the bat of Banton four more to the total for wickets
10:40picks the gap and picks it really nicely Cox I feel has played ever so well
10:49we all couldn't believe he wasn't in the starting 11 for game one
10:54picked up into the leg side right towards the deep mid wicket fielder but over his head
11:00Curtis Comfort thought he was in the game if that was the other side of the ground
11:04picked up nicely down the ground finds the gap and finds four Banton starting to come into his own now
11:14this is a very good partnership in white oh he's done him he's knocked him over ben white
11:23surely there's a is there a sting in the tail
11:26where's he bowled that from bowled it from about 23 yards but it's uh been pummeled over long on for
11:35four England saw him coming and he bowled it wide and Banton clubs it through extra for four
11:44a little single on the leg side and England have beaten Ireland in this third t20 international
11:57here in Malahide to take the series two games to nil with one completely washed out
12:05and England winning by six wickets
