    England get first breakthrough after stunning Capsey catch

    Really impressed with Alice Capsey so far. One excellent take as a stand-in wicketkeeper and also stepping up her vocals as is customary for a keeper.

    Hunter 60, Stokell 7

    Tilly Corteen-Coleman is put under pressure again here as Rebecca Stokell whacks her over the covers for four. Stokell looks pleased with herself as she towers over the more diminutive Amy Hunter at the end of the over.

    Mady Villiers gets her reward after being the most threatening spinner all day. Villiers has spun the ball more than any other England spinner (Villiers 2.8°, TCC 2.2°, Dean 2.0°), while also challenging the stumps one in every four deliveries.

  4. Ire 174-3published at 34 overs

    Rebecca Stokell is the new batter and after missing her first delivery on the drive she gets off the mark second ball.

    Mady Villiers always seems to be a player up for a tussle. She sprawls to her right to stop a boundary off the final ball of her over.

    What's been Orla Prendergast's downfall there is how clean she is hitting it. Mady Villiers bowled a horrible dragdown but because Orla has hit it so cleanly it's ended up carrying to Maia Bouchier in the deep.

    Prendergast c Bouchier b Villiers 19 (Ire 172-3)

    The drag-down brings a wicket! Orla Prendergast almost gets too much of this. The fact she hits it well gives Maia Bouchier a chance out at deep mid-wicket and the England batter takes a very good tumbling catch after making ground to her right.

    A big moment.

    That was such an easy and effortless strike from Orla Prendergast.

  8. Ire 172-2published at 33 overs

    Sixteen runs from the over. 19-year-old Tilly Corteen-Coleman is going at almost eight runs per over.

    Orla Prendergast is putting Tilly Corteen-Coleman under real pressure now.

    Ire 171-2published at 32.4 overs

    And the free hit is smacked for six over mid-wicket by Orla Prendergast!

  11. Ire 165-2published at 32.3 overs

    Four more. This one is too wide from Tilly Corteen-Coleman, even with a packed off-side field. Corteen-Coleman has been a bit loose today as well.

    Oh and it's a no-ball too!

  12. Ire 160-2published at 32.2 overs

    Slapped for four by Orla Prendergast. She was listening...

    Tilly Corteen-Coleman is back.

    Orla Prendergast playing her shots here is going to give Ireland the best chance here.

  15. Ire 156-2published at 32 overs

    Very good from England's new wicketkeeper Alice Capsey, who takes a rising ball from Issy Wong near her shoulders while standing up to the stumps.

    This may only be her second professional match, international or otherwise, as a keeper but she clearly has talent. People around the England camp were saying she really good do this ob at the start of the summer.

    I spoke to Capsey about this experiment yesterday.

  16. Ire 152-2published at 31 overs

    Charlie Dean with that familiar quick arm races through another over, conceding only singles. Dani Gibson appears to be playing a senior role out there in the absence of other key players.

    This is such a crucial time for England now. They have an in but know how dangerous Orla Prendergast can be.

    Ireland are still looking at around 270 here you would think.

  19. Ire 149-2published at 30 overs

    Wong's wicket has come after that change of ends Katherine Sciver-Brunt was calling for on TMS. Of course she has been boosted by the breakthrough but she looks far more comfortable.

    There are none of those wayward deliveries we saw earlier as key batter Orla Prendergast is kept on nought.

    That's the breakthrough! The change of bowling has done it. A really fine partnership has come to an end.
