Schutt to Kavanagh, FOUR, cracking shot, low full-toss outside off, Kavanagh bends down low and swipes it over mid-wicket, splits the gap between the two fielders in the deep to a nicety. Ireland finish with 93

Schutt to Kim Garth, out Bowled!! Another batter attempts a fancy looking lap sweep and another batter who's cleaned up. This was full and this was straight at the stumps, Garth went a long way across on the paddle and missed, the ball clattered into the leg-stump and Garth falls after a cameo. Kim Garth b Schutt 24(26) [4s-2]

Schutt to Kim Garth, FOUR, lovely, excellent use of the feet, comes down the track, gets close to the ball and lifts it over mid-off for a boundary

Schutt to Kim Garth, FOUR, nicely played! This was a back of the length delivery outside off, Garth plays with an open face and finds the gap behind square on the off-side for a boundary

Delissa Kimmince to Gaby Lewis, out Gaby Lewis Run Out!! Suicidal. Ireland are throwing it away now. Another risky single attempted, the fielder has a shy and hits the bulls-eye at the non-striker's end. Pushed to mid-off and Lewis had to put in the hard yards, Wareham hits the target and catches the batswoman short of her crease. Gaby Lewis run out (Georgia Wareham) 8(17)

Gardner to Delany, FOUR, handy runs for Ireland, Gardner drifted this one well outside off, Delany was prodding forward in defence and the ball ran away through the vacant slip region - off the outside half

Gardner to Isobel Joyce, out Bowled!! Turn and bounce for Gardner, and it's too good for Joyce. This was a ripping off-break, pitched outside off and spun back into the right-hander, Joyce was caught in her crease as she pushed forward, created a big gap between bat and pad and the ball snuck through, rattles the middle of middle stump and Ireland have lost their fourth wicket. Isobel Joyce b Gardner 1(7)

Perry to Richardson, out Bowled!! Blimey! What is happening here? Rush of blood from Richardson. Seems like she has not learnt from Shillington's dismissal. Goes a long way across her stumps, crouches and aims for the familiar scoop shot. Perry went full and straight - fraught with danger all over. Stumps are rattled. Richardson b Perry 1(4)

Perry to Shillington, out Bowled!! Knocked her over and Ireland have lost both their openers in successive overs. Shillington sought to show her adventurism, exposing all three stumps and walking across to scoop it over short fine leg. Perry kept it straight and it was just a case of you-miss-I-Hit stuff. The ball kisses the top of leg-stump. Shillington b Perry 19(18) [4s-3]

Georgia Wareham to Cecelia Joyce, out Cecelia Joyce Run Out!! Oh, disaster. Ireland have lost their first wicket in the form of a run-out. Floated outside off, Joyce drives it to mid-off and takes the gamble. Kimmince cleanly picks up the ball and breaks the stumps at the bowler's end. Joyce was nowhere in the frame. Magnificent! Cecelia Joyce run out (Delissa Kimmince) 10(27) [4s-1]

Schutt to Shillington, FOUR, Schutt is shaking her head. It was full and just outside off, Shillington swings her bat and gets a healthy outside edge that loops over the short third man fielder

Perry to Cecelia Joyce, FOUR, cleverly done by Joyce. She was itching to break free and this boundary should boost her confidence. Short outside off, Joyce uses the pace and inclination of her willow to glide it behind point. The fielder at third man did her best in trying to stop the ball but in vain

Sophie Molineux to Shillington, FOUR, Molineux errs and bowls it short outside off. Shillington gets deep in her crease and strokes it between two fielders at cover

Schutt to Shillington, FOUR, first boundary of the innings. Schutt becomes predictable, lands it in the slot and Shillington takes the aerial route to lift it over mid-on
