england tour of ireland, 2025

Jamie Overton to Tucker, out Caught by Buttler!! Fifty and gone! A short ball on leg, Tucker goes for a pull and gloves it towards the keeper down the leg-side. Buttler takes a regulation catch behind the wickets and the 123-run partnership has been broken by Jamie Overton in the 20th over of the innings. Tucker c Buttler b Jamie Overton 55(36) [4s-3 6s-4]

Adil Rashid to Stirling, out Caught by Will Jacks!! Another one bites the dust! Both the openers are gone. A nicely tossed up delivery by Adil Rashid, right into the slot, Stirling stands tall and lofts it over long-on. The fielder in the deep settles underneath and holds on to a safe catch. Wickets in back-to-back overs for England. Stirling c Will Jacks b Adil Rashid 34(22) [4s-1 6s-4]

Dawson to Ross Adair, out Caught by Phil Salt!! Dawson strikes! The partnership is broken. Adair put his head down as soon as he played that. Smart bowling by Dawson. Slows it up and gets it to drift, Adair sits down to play the slog sweep and gets a big top-edge, the ball skies towards deep mid-wicket and Salt runs in to take a good catch. Ross Adair c Phil Salt b Dawson 26(25) [4s-3 6s-1]

Humphreys to Tom Banton, out Caught by Curtis Campher!! Advances down the wicket and takes the aerial route. Doesn't get enough elevation though as Campher at mid-on takes a rather easy catch. Tom Banton c Curtis Campher b Humphreys 11(7) [4s-2]

Hume to Phil Salt, out Caught by Ross Adair!! Phil Salt fails to get to his century today. A fantastic knock nevertheless as England are within touching distance of an emphatic win. This was full and wide outside off, Phil Salt throws his hands at it, slicing it towards deep point. Adair charges in from the deep, keeps his cool and takes a safe catch to deny Phil Salt a well deserved century. Phil Salt c Ross Adair b Hume 89(46) [4s-10 6s-4]

Hume to Sam Curran, out Caught by Dockrell!! Hume has the last laugh! On the pads and Sam Curran flicks it straight to the fielder at deep square leg. A useful cameo by Sam Curran comes to an end. England need 17 runs in 27 balls now.. Sam Curran c Dockrell b Hume 27(15) [6s-3]

Delany to Rehan Ahmed, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Ireland hanging in there. Flighted delivery, Rehan's eyes lit up and he came charging down the pitch, swings through the line and is beaten by the lack of bounce, the ball stays low and sneaks under his swinging bat to hit the lower part of middle-stump. The asking rate is just over 7 but Ireland have managed to pick up a couple of wickets in the last few overs. Rehan Ahmed b Delany 8(9) [6s-1]

Tector to Jacob Bethell, out Caught by Ross Adair!! 4, 4, 6 and out! Tector went for runs but has the wicket. But was it worth it? Tossed up and the length is too full, Bethell cannot get under and spoons it to extra cover, simple catch for Adair. He struggled to get going, started to get going in this over and succumbs soon after. Jacob Bethell c Ross Adair b Tector 24(16) [4s-3 6s-1]

Humphreys to Buttler, out Caught by Curtis Campher!! Finally some relief for the Ireland bowlers. The partnership has been broken and Buttler is the one who walks back. Why didn't Humphreys do this before? He kept firing 'em in from his first over, but this was slower and drifts in nicely, Buttler is beaten in the flight and miscues the loft straight up, Campher moves to his right at mid-on and takes a good catch. Much needed wicket for Ireland.. Buttler c Curtis Campher b Humphreys 28(10) [4s-5 6s-1]
