It'll be a test for England. In terms of really being ruthless in the periods of 50-over cricket when things are ticking over and you need a bit of magic. It's a good test of an attack that's missing a few players.

Ireland have run three twos and a single and that's the required-rate. Ireland are just going to find the gaps and see where they get to.

Alice Tector times her pull off Tilly Corteen-Coleman well and it looks destined for four. But Freya Kemp sprints across and produces a brilliant diving stop near the rope.

Commitment like that is what can frustrate the batters and force them into taking risks.

Time for drinks at New Road.

Ireland rotate the strike well to take five runs from Tilly Corteen-Coleman's latest over.

They will need to keep doing more of that if they are to stay alive in this run chase.

We are 15 overs in and Ireland's required run-rate has been steadily climbing and now stands at 6.65.

They have scored at a rate of little under four and will need to accelerate sooner rather than later.

Tilly Corteen-Coleman did find some turn off the surface during that over as England continue to keep the Ireland batters at bay.

After three overs without a boundary, Amy Hunter finds one off Dani Gibson.

She dances down the track and tries to thread the ball through the covers. Jodi Grewcock dives to her left but cannot prevent the ball from running towards the boundary.

Tilly Corteen-Coleman is into the attack now.

What can the 19-year-old produce here?

It's a tidy start from the left-arm spinner, conceding four runs.

Ireland happy to take the singles at the moment as they run five in a row from Dani Gibson's latest over.

Ireland make 39-1 in the powerplay. In the other two powerplays in this series they were 51-1 and 33-2.

Ryana MacDonald-Gay continues her excellent spell and concedes just a wide from her latest over.

Only thing missing from her spell is a wicket, as the powerplay comes to an end.

Batting first, England had looked set for a total well beyond 300 before they imploded.

Cara Murray sparked that late collapse with the spinner claiming four wickets in a strong finish for Ireland.

Dani Gibson comes into the attack and begins with five dot balls.

But her final delivery is right in the slot for Amy Hunter, who punishes it by launching it over mid-wicket for four.

This is good from Ryana Macdonald-Gay. Good skills, making the ball talk.

Ryana MacDonald-Gay is producing some good movement with the ball.

She manages to nip one sharply back into Alice Tector and beats her all ends up. Not much later, the England bowler forces an inside edge off the Ireland batter with the ball flashing past the stumps.

Amy Hunter is averaging north of 60 in 2026, with five 50+ scores in her last eight innings.

Alice Tector waits for the ball and despatches Lauren Filer to boundary through square leg.

Some positive intent from the 18-year-old Ireland opener but Filer finishes the over with three dot balls.

It's a tricky phase for Ireland. Amy Hunter has been scoring plenty of runs but not necessarily at an especially quick rate.

England will sense the chance to put on some pressure.

After an expensive opening over, Ryana MacDonald-Gay has recovered really well here.

The seamer has conceded just three runs in her two overs since.

The short ball is turning into a real weapon for Filer in ODI cricket. 14 of her 22 ODI wickets have come from the short ball.
