Have your say on England women this summer

  1. Ire 110-1

    Gaby Lewis chips Mady Villiers over the in-field. It's in the air but lands safe.

    England lacking a little bit of inspiration in these middle overs, and there's some sloppy fielding to boot.

    It is feeling a bit flat from England. It's hard to get into the game when batters aren't entertaining you.

  3. Ire 104-1

    Amy Hunter and Gaby Lewis punch gloves at the end of Charlie Dean's over having cleverly farmed the strike, picking up singles and a two.

    England look like they want to bowl at Amy Hunter more than Gaby Lewis, thinking that is their way through this partnership.

  5. Ire 97-1

    England have never chased more than 267 to win an ODI so if Ireland are looking for a benchmark total here that figure will probably round about where they hope to be.

    Mady Villiers into the attack for England but nothing to really alarm Amy Hunter and Gaby Lewis.

    That's not the best fielding from Lauren Filer, almost a bit lazy. She looks disappointed and I am glad she does.

  7. Ire 93-1

    Charlie Dean purposefully hands her cap to the umpire.

    The England skipper tosses up her second delivery and Amy Hunter miscues a pull but straight into the ground.

    Hunter swivels and drags a pull down through fine leg and Ireland run three - assisted by some bang average fielding from Lauren Filer - before she edges a straight one for four.

  8. Ire 84-1

    Tilly Corteen-Coleman continues after drinks.

    Amy Hunter attempts to reverse sweep her fourth delivery - but fails to make contact this time.

    Hunter picks up two with a cut off the back foot from the next ball then drags the final ball into the leg side to keep the strike.

  9. Ireland 80-1 at drinks

    Charlie Dean brings herself on and immediately tightens things up.

    Amy Hunter sees off five dots before working one into the leg side for a single.

    Drinks.

    Good to see all the different cricket grounds England are using for this series, rather than big five, we have got so many great unused ground in this country.

  11. Ire 79-1

    Tilly Corteen-Coleman pushes one through with the arm but it's smartly played by Amy Hunter who jabs it into the pitch.

    Six runs off the 19-year-old left-arm spinner's fourth over.

    It has been impressive how proactive Ireland have been.

  13. Ire 73-1

    Dani Gibson continues. The pitch looks flat as a pancake now.

    Amy Hunter is unbeaten on 25 off 36 balls while Gaby Lewis is 29 not out off 40 deliveries.

    Penny for the thoughts of Charlie Dean on the toss...

    This is the 12th time in ODIs that Lewis and Hunter have passed 50 as a pair, the most in Ireland's women's ODI history. From their 25 times batting together, they average 50.60 as a pair, the highest in Irish history for any of the pairs to have batted 10 times or more.

  15. Ire 69-1

    England get first breakthrough after stunning Capsey catch

    Tilly Corteen-Coleman's three overs have cost 20 runs so far.

    Gaby Lewis and Amy Hunter content to knock her into the gaps.

    England have taken just the one wicket so far today.

    Gaby Lewis has just become the first Irish woman to reach 2,000 runs in ODIs.

  17. Ire 65-1

    Dani Gibson bustles into the crease, looking to stay wicket to wicket.

    Three runs off the over.

    Charlotte Edwards looks pensive hunched forward on the England balcony.

  18. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It's a quick outfield. Gaby Lewis got that through where a second slip would be.

  19. Ire 62-1

    Gaby Lewis is brimming with confidence as Ireland continue to take the game to England at Grace Road.

    She reverse sweeps Tilly Corteen-Coleman for four...again.

  20. How's stat?!

    Rufus Bullough
    CricViz analyst

    Just 7% of the deliveries by England's seam bowlers would have hit the stumps in the powerplay today - their lowest figure in 30 matches for England.
