    It was the wicket that England required. It's been tough work for them.

    WICKET

    Little b Corteen-Coleman 14 (Ire 167-6)

    There goes the stumps.

    Louise Little tries an ugly swipe across the line and is bowled by Tilly Corteen-Coleman.

    Arlene Kelly walks out for her final international innings.

    It's hard when you are in this position being Ireland. You've got one choice - go all out. But it's a lot to ask from this position.

    On the other hand, England will want to bowl Ireland out because Ireland did that to them.

  4. Ire 165-5

    127 needed off 60 balls

    Almost a chance!

    Louise Little lumps Charlie Dean down the ground and Freya Kemp initially looks to make ground for the catch.

    She realises she's not going to make it and instead pulls off a decent bit of fielding, restricting Ireland to a single.

  5. Ire 160-5

    Required run-rate: 12 runs an over

    Changes at both ends as Tilly Corteen-Coleman returns.

    Leah Paul tips the ball fine and Lauren Filer does good work running after it, tipping away from the boundary to deny Ireland a boundary.

    Paul and Louise Little run three instead.

  6. Ire 156-5

    Charlie Dean brings herself back into the attack and her fifth over goes for five runs.

    It kind of came from nowhere that shot. But Louise Little can be a powerful striker of the ball and a handy player coming in down the order.

  8. 6 runs

    Ire 151-5

    That's the way to bring up your team's 150!

    Louise Little slams Ryana MacDonald-Gay's final delivery over long-off for six.

  9. Ire 142-5

    Target 292

    Four singles and a wide off Mady Villers' latest.

    Ireland's current run-rate is 3.94 runs an over - they need 10.71 from here.

  10. Ire 137-5

    That's neat.

    Leah Paul reverses her stance and ramps Ryana MacDonald-Gay's final ball through fine leg for four.

    That denies MacDonald-Gay a maiden - we're yet to have one in this innings.

    Meanwhile new batter Louise Little has spent her first over down the non-striker's end.

    It's a show of frustration from Orla Prendergast. England bowled really well to her and kept her quiet.

    It felt like they needed something really, really special from her anyway and therefore, Ireland's hopes go with her - as they often do.

    WICKET

    Prendergast c Bouchier b Villiers 24 (Ire 133-5)

    That's the key wicket!

    For the third time in the series, Mady Villiers has Orla Prendergast dismissed caught.

    The Ireland all-rounder lifts Villiers' delivery out into the leg side, where Maia Bouchier pouches it coming in from the mid-wicket ropes.

    Mady Villiers now has four wickets in the series for an average of just 20 - the best of any England spinner.

    She has also comfortably found the most movement off the surface of all of the England spinners (3.0° on average), while also targeting the stumps the most (30%).

  14. Ire 129-4

    Target 292

    Leah Paul is the latest Ireland batter to come to the middle.

    She takes a single off her second ball to get off the mark.

    Alice Capsey has shown really sharp reactions behind the stumps. I've been impressed by her and she has more than just stepped in as a replacement wicketkeeper. The start is absolutely promising.

    WICKET

    Stokell st Capsey b MacDonald-Gay 14 (Ire 127-4)

    Ryana MacDonald-Gay of England and Alice Capsey celebrate taking the wicket of Rebecca Stokell of IrelandGetty Images

    Nice work for Alice Capsey!

    The England wicketkeeper, who is standing in for Amy Jones in this series, gathers above her head after Rebecca Stokell misses a pull advancing down the track to a Ryana MacDonald-Gay bouncer.

    Capsey whips off the bails and after a check by the third umpire Stokell is on her way.

    Ireland need to kick on. Orla Prendergast is an explosive and dynamic player but England haven't let her get away.

  18. 6 runs

    Ire 127-3

    Hello there!

    Rebecca Stokell advances to Mady Villers' penultimate ball and launches the ball towards long-off.

    Ryana MacDonald-Gay is posted on the ropes, but the ball clears the leap of the England fielder for Ireland's second six.

    A further single from the final ball of the over takes Stokell to 14 from 17 balls.

  19. Ire 117-3

    Three runs from this latest Lauren Filer over, with the England seamer having to bowl her second ball twice after sending down a wide with her first attempt.

    At this stage in their innings, England were 184-2.

    It is absolutely doable on a ground like this with quick outfield and relatively shortish boundaries. But having lost three key players, it is going to be a tough ask for Ireland.
