great effort by Ireland but they fall just short
Ireland vs England, Only ODI at Belfast, Aug 27 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary
A great effort then by Ireland, but fine bowling by Shah at the death proved to be the difference between the sides. Thanks for sticking in there for the match and do join Cricinfo for their oncoming coverage of the Twenty20 games and ODIs v Australia
Trent Johnston deservedly received the man of the match award for his excellent bowling and quickfire 21 off 15 at the end.
Well Ireland fell agonisingly short in the end. The presentation for man of match to follow. England winning by 3 runs by Duckworth Lewis method.
Goes towards the long-on boundary and Morgan, whoon the field, throws it back into play, stops the six, one short called by the umpire
there's still hope, they get four to start - two sixes required for victory
pushed to off side for a single...they need boundaries, stating the obvious
It's raining again....
Shah to bowl the final over
16 required for a tie, 17 for the win..can they do it?
slapped down the ground and it just reaches long off boundary to give Ireland hope
bowled him!, another falls and this is going to be very tight now for Ireland to get home from here
got him; hit high and handsome but straight down Bresnan's throat at long off
