ffs you can only ride your luck so much against Swan.

It's also the best way to get rid of him, a few sixes and 50 off 5 overs. Strauss got rid of Yardy pretty quick too. Ireland struggle against the pace coming off the ball, so bringng about the return of Broad and Anderson is good, regardless of the result

Credit where it's due; they're really fighting. Only six runs behind England at the 33-over mark.

Wouldn't go quite that far!

Hilarious drop of O'Brien there; could be hugely important.

Ireland on 9.4 an over the last five overs, which is down on recent overs. Even still, it's enough to win with three overs to spare if they can keep it up.

Fastest 100 ever in the World Cup. :eek:

Not just fastest Irish 100, but fastest any 100.

Edit - and the sixth fastest in ODI history. 50 balls just.

27 required off four overs. Definitely doable, but they've been letting up a bit lately.
