The T20 World Cup continues as England face neighbours Ireland in yet another World Cup clash between the two rivals. Join The Roar for live scores from 3pm (AEDT).
England are one of the favourites to claim a second T20 World Cup crown, with an impressive bowling performance the key to their victory over Afghanistan in their tournament opener.
However, Ireland are no stranger to boilovers on the big stage – they memorably stunned England at the 2011 ODI World Cup – and having impressively qualified atop their group and poleaxed the West Indies, they will privately like their chances of inflicting another upset on their big brother.

You fn beauty!

Surely the English knew this was a possibility? Even the Aussies would have got in front of the run rate in a similar situation ; although if Finch was batting, probably not...

Hahaha wow that's a nice little bonus!!

This is where the Aussie groundsman has to do the Aussie's a solid.

Rain damn you. Rain! And don't stop for another 15 minutes!

More rain drama here with Ireland just in front as they go off with just 5.3 overs left to bowl. Could be very interesting if they even get back out there.

Massive upset on the card here, will need some more wickets though. Really impressive Ireland making such a game of this against the tournament favourites.
13th Man
Roar Rookie
Feel like Ireland are going to come regret there last 5 overs of their batting. Really should've made 170 odd. With the amount of firepower left in England's lineup they may just get there.

Roar Rookie
In a weird way Brook getting out helps England. Brings Ali and then Livingstone.
13th Man
Roar Rookie
Sadly they keep dropping catches. Edit.. finally got one.
Clear as mud

i think Ireland still need more wickets, and soon. In Livingstone, Ali, Curran and Waokes they have enough firepower to get the 10 and over required at the moment.
