    England in the powerplay this series: 72-0, 79-2, 61-0

    Average: 106.00 - Run rate: 7.1

  2. Eng 86-1

    Another tight over from Ireland, coming from Cara Murray.

    Sophia Dunkley moves to 41 from 51 balls.

    A brief moment of panic off the final delivery but Jodi Grewcock scrambles home just in time to complete a risky single.

  3. Eng 81-1

    Four runs come from Kia McCartney's latest over.

    You feel Ireland need another breakthrough and soon if they are to have any chance today.

  4. Eng 77-1

    Jodi Grewcock is the new batter at the crease and is off the mark with a single from her first ball.

    She will hope to keep the momentum going alongside Sophia Dunkley.

    Soft dismissal for Maia Bouchier. She looks frustrated, just trying to tuck into the leg side, it looks like a simple shot but perhaps a bit of extra bounce on the delivery.

    WICKET

    Bouchier c Lewis b McCartney 39 (Eng 73-1)

    As soft a dismissal as any!

    Kia McCartney strikes for Ireland as Maia Bouchier is pouched by captain Gaby Lewis after a thick leading edge.

    The England opener departs after a promising start.

  7. Eng 68-0

    Alice Tector would feel she should have done better there.

    Sophia Dunkley slaps Louise Little through backward point and Tector sprints hoping to cut it off near the rope, but her dive goes in vain and the ball slips underneath her for four.

    England have picked up where they left off in the previous ODI. We said Ireland winning the toss and choosing to bowl was a risk, it seems to have back-fired.

  9. Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Ireland have struggled with run-rates in this series. In the first two matches they have been 7.41 and 7.21.

  10. Eng 61-0

    Powerplay done and dusted and England will be pleased with this start.

    They have scored at almost six an over and both openers look set in the middle - Maia Bouchier on 33 and Sophia Dunkley on 25.

    Can they keep building and turn this good start into a big total?

  11. Ffion Wynne
    BBC Sport cricket writer on BBC Radio Sports Extra

    It was a lovely bit of innovation from Dunkley. She just had to get her head out of the way to get it up and over. England are flying here.

  12. Eng 58-0

    Another change for Ireland as Louise Little replaces Arlene Kelly.

    But runs keep coming for England - 10 runs from that over, including a boundary apiece for Maia Bouchier and Sophia Dunkley.

  13. Eng 48-0

    Ireland have gone with three spinners today for this third and final ODI.

    One of them is into attack now - Kia McCartney.

    The off-spinner begins well but gives too much room for Sophia Dunkley off the penultimate delivery and it is dispatched over cover for four.

  14. Eng 43-0

    Sophia Dunkley is starting to find her rhythm now.

    Her first boundary of Orla Prendergast's fourth over is slashed away through backward point before she gets on one knee and helps the ball over her shoulder to the rope.

    Impressive stuff from the England batter.

  15. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The danger for Ireland, winning the toss and bowling first, was if they didn't get wickets. If England get settled it could get ugly.

  16. Eng 35-0

    More runs for England.

    Sophia Dunkley has not looked entirely in control out there in the middle so far, but that four through midwicket should give her some confidence.

    A boundary each for Dunkley and Maia Bouchier in that over.

  17. Thea Brookes
    Former Birmingham Phoenix all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That should have definitely been stopped. She got a big hand on it, did Little, but she just pushed it over the boundary.

  18. Eng 26-0

    A wayward over from Orla Prendergast and Maia Bouchier capitalises completely.

    The England opener swipes her second delivery through backward square for four and then finds the rope again through point two balls later.

    Prendergast then beats Bouchier's outside edge but the batter has the last word as she brings up a third boundary through fine leg to wrap up the over.

  19. Eng 10-0

    A maiden over from Arlene Kelly.

    But it could have been even better as Sophia Dunkley attempted to clear the circle but miscued her shot. But the ball drops safely just short of the fielder at mid-off.

  20. Eng 14-0

    Another tidy over from Orla Prendergast.

    Only four runs coming from it, including a quick double after Sophia Dunkley expertly guides the ball to third.
