England Vs Ireland : Live Updates! - Page 6

Paul Collingwood New Man 👏 👏 👏

21.1 KJ O'Brien to Bell, no run, punched to cover on the front foot

21.2 KJ O'Brien to Bell, OUT, gone! Bell's turgid knock comes to a tame end, attempting to late-cut a straight one from O'Brien...but he could only deflect it straight into the wicketkeeper's gloves

IR Bell c NJ O'Brien b KJ O'Brien 31 (74b 2x4 0x6) SR: 41.89

Thank goodness that's over. No need for such pedestrian batting - ever.

Ireland celebrate the wicket ... but not nearly as enthusiastically as almost all of England. I swear that Michael Vaughan was seen to leap up and high five Andrew Flintoff...

Here's Collingwood to salvage England's innings once again. Apologies for the sarcasm, but honestly, England's top-order has been village today

21.3 KJ O'Brien to Collingwood, 1 wide, an ugly wide, Collingwood resists

21.3 KJ O'Brien to Collingwood, 1 wide, another one, even wider if anything. Collingwood couldn't have reached that with two bats

21.3 KJ O'Brien to Collingwood, no run, that's better, O'Brien pitching it up and dragging Collingwood forward. His brother, behind the stumps, is "loving the line" apparently. And why not?

21.4 KJ O'Brien to Collingwood, no run, ooh, uppishly driven by Collingwood, to point - beaten by lack of pace, perhaps? Neatly bowled nevertheless

21.5 KJ O'Brien to Collingwood, no run, driven into the covers

21.6 KJ O'Brien to Collingwood, 1 run, neatly driven once more into the covers

End of over 22 (3 runs) - England 92/3 (RR: 4.18)

PD Collingwood 1* (4b) KJ O'Brien 1-0-3-1
KP Pietersen 41* (39b 5x4) AC Botha 5-1-14-0

OMG england r not playing good 😭

Kyle McCallan into the attack

22.1 McCallan to Collingwood, FOUR, on off stump - ah, that's a lovely shot from Collingwood, merely stroking it past mid-off and it fairly zoots for four

22.2 McCallan to Collingwood, no run, punched back to the bowler - good line there, on middle-and-off

22.3 McCallan to Collingwood, no run, just outside off, no turn there but Collingwood is firmly behind

22.4 McCallan to Collingwood, no run, defends this quicker ball off the back foot, shuffling across his stumps

22.5 McCallan to Collingwood, no run, ooh - I could've sworn that was a wrong'un. Defended off the back foot

22.6 McCallan to Collingwood, 1 run, too straight this time and Collingwood is turning this round the corner for an easy single

End of over 23 (5 runs) - England 97/3 (RR: 4.21)

PD Collingwood 6* (10b 1x4) WK McCallan 1-0-5-0
KP Pietersen 41* (39b 5x4) KJ O'Brien 1-0-3-1
