England win by 11 runs Not the most memorable match with rain ruining a good occasion. England's bright young things flunked with the bat but were pretty good with the ball. A game that looked tight half-way became easy and unsatisfactory as rain had its way. Eoin Morgan is named man of the match and gets to collect the trophy. Must feel a little awkward surely? Mind you I don't think Morgan ever feels anything. Jonathan Trott, by the way, top-scored in the game. Anyway, more of that and other things in Andrew Miller's report. That's all from us, thanks for the emails.

1b
Dernbach to Dockrell, 1 bye

and that's that. Play and a miss to end the game which means England win a scrappy match quite comfortably

22.5
Dernbach to Dockrell, no run

Dockrell ran down the wicket and outside leg. Dernbach was full and outside off so the batsman had to leave it

22.4
4
Dernbach to Dockrell, FOUR runs

shot! The little man goes big! Full toss thrashed down the ground for four

22.3
Dernbach to Dockrell, no run

very quick from Dernbach. Too quick for Dockrell

22.2
1
Dernbach to Cusack, 1 run

Cusack manages a single in the end. He horribly mistimed this back to the bowler but with Dockrell haring up the other end Dernbach aimed a shy - and missed - the overthrow collected the single

22.1
1
Dernbach to Dockrell, 1 run

clubbed with plenty of inelegance down the ground but only for one

Righty 19 runs to win from 6 balls. Dernbach to bowl it.

2
Patel to Cusack, 2 runs

touch of spin unnerves Cusack as he comes down the ground. Ends up skewing a drive out to Finn at deep point

21.5
W
Patel to Wilson, OUT

smart bowling with a touch of air and spin gets Patel reward. Wilson had to try and find the boundary but ended up with an outside edge that looped towards Bopara who clung on

Patel to Cusack, 1 run

grim mis-hit toe-ended down the ground. Top work from Patel

21.3
1
Patel to Wilson, 1 run

Wilson skips down and slugs across the line but is through the shot too early and it hits his pad

21.2
Patel to Wilson, no run

flash and a miss outside off this time! Excellent work from the bowler

21.1
Patel to Wilson, no run

good start from Patel - full and straight - bunted back to the bowler

Samit Patel is the man to bowl it. 12 deliveries left in the game.

1
Bopara to Wilson, 1 run

slower ball ends a decent over. Worked carefully to short third man. England are favourites but one big over will change that swiftly

20.5
1
Bopara to Cusack, 1 run

slower ball is flipped to deep square where Finn runs in sharply to prevent two

1w
Bopara to Cusack, 1 wide

"no!" screams Bopara as he bowls. Rightly so - it was shoved down the leg side

20.4
Bopara to Cusack, no run

big swing at fresh air as Cusack fails to spot a slower ball

20.3
1
Bopara to Wilson, 1 run

slower ball is dabbed to point for a single

20.2

Bopara to Wilson, FOUR runs

top shot! Third man comes into the ring and Wilson squeezed it past him for four

Looks like Patel is warming up.

20.1
1
Bopara to Cusack, 1 run

good delivery around off stump worked to point

England have a meeting with the umpires to work out who can bowl. Bopara and Dernbach have one each left.

We definitely have a match too now that 20 overs are up. Ireland need 32 from 18

Dernbach to Mooney, OUT

ah Mooney almost got enough here. Smashed it down the ground and Stokes did well on the boundary edge to hold on above his head
