1.00pm And that's it from all of us. Hope you enjoyed this game. Be sure to join us for our coverage of the PNG-USA game in around 45 minutes' time. Until then, goodbye!

William Porterfield: "Very happy, especially after the last two games, [which were] not up to our usual standards. We had a pretty relaxed session yesterday, just whacked a few balls, to free everyone up a bit, so we could come back. Next few hours will be interesting. If things go our way we could still top the group. If they don't, we're still ready to go."

Peter Gough: "Top knock from Jonty, great knock from Farls at the top. All credit to Ireland, how they bowled to us in the next phase. We had plans of how to hit them but they made it difficult for us. 140 or 150 would have given us a real good chance to win this game. This has been the most fantastic experience I've ever had as a Jersey cricketer, I'll say that for some of the other boys as well. Every game we've learned something new, and it's going to help us push our Twenty20 and 50-over cricket along as well."

Paul Stirling, as expected, is man of the match. "I think just kept it simple, maybe slow it down, I had some chance of getting the left-handers out. It was quite hard to hit, a few of the Jersey lads struggled, going across the line. It was easier hitting straight down the ground. You go out there, see 20 overs on the field, as an opening batsman you can judge how to play."

12.47pm And that is that. Ireland move up to the top of the Group A table, for now, after an emphatic performance with bat and ball. Stirling picked up three crucial top-order wickets, and scored a breezy half-century to ensure an easy chase of a low target.
