Ireland vs England, 3rd T20I at Dublin, IRE vs ENG, Sep 21 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary

floated up on the stumps, defended to the on side

full toss, bunted out to long-off by Cox

angled in with the arm and pushed towards midwicket

drifting down the leg side. Humphreys thinks it flicked the pads, but wide is signalled... and the bowler wants his captain to review this. Can you do that for a wide (outside of the IPL)? Well, they are reviewing for caught behind, even though he was nowhere near hitting it. In fact, Cox pulled out of the shot. But it did kiss the pad flap, so the wide is crossed out! So the review is lost, even though it did the job for Ireland

floated up outside off, Banton opens the face, runs this fine for four more! McCarthy gave game chase from short third but won't catch up. Ends up hurdling the boundary boards, but he's okay

pushed through outside off and steered into the gap at deep backward point this time

wider line and chopped behind point, Banton rocks back and cuts firmly, the ball running away behind the man in the deep

flatter on off again and patted back to the bowler

tossed up on a wider line, maybe the googly. Banton has a swish and misses

zipped down on off stump, jabbed away square

a solid thump off the back foot, Adair tumbles at backward point, but that bursts through his grasp

dangled in the wider channel outside off, Cox gets in a tangle as he loses his shape on a carve through the covers

opens the face, guided out to deep point

full length, punched through the line to long-off. That's a solid way to announce yourself

nicked to the keeper! Salt climbs through the fourth-stump line, Campher finds a hint of movement away, and feathers the edge

too far outside off, Salt was shaping that way, but not that far

flogged off the back foot, straight back into Campher's legs... but he wears it well

flicked to the on-side, another single to end the over

low full toss, flicked off the pads to backward square

tapped off the back foot to mid-on
