England v Ireland: Live Commentary

First topic message reminder :

Mad for Chelsea:
Morning all, good start by England, rattling along at close to 7 runs per over, though Strauss has fallen. Pietersen has 59, England 110-1 at drinks after 16.

-Strauss was bowled for 34 on his 34th birthday. I think that it was destiny.

-Kevin Pietersen caught for 59 off 50 balls. He attempted to play a reverse swing shot, but it went straight up in the air to the wicket keeper. We are now at 111-2.

Broad looks injured (holding his knee)

With four overs to go, Ireland need 27 runs

two dot balls are followed by a big four. Bresnan bowling

Strauss isn't looking happy

this could be the biggest run chase in history. 7 from that over

Anderson will bowl the next over, but we may need broad again

Ireland (308-6) need 20 runs from 18 balls

A good time for Anderson to get things right

OBrien goes to 111 from 61 with a single

dot ball from anderson

Mooney hits one up in the air but it lands in nomansland for a single

last ball of the over. Ireland need16 to win... its another boundary- 316-6

12 needed from twelve balls. Ireland have to be the favourites right now

ireland go for 2, but prior takes a great one and OBrien is out!!!

One of the greatest World Cup innings: 113(61)

poor delivery and trent johnston hits a four on his first ball

ireland need 7 from 9

bad fielding from England gives Ireland 2

One hit can win this for Ireland

they now only need 3 from the final over to win

Jimmy anderson has that responsibility - a make or break moment

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

It goes for a four and Ireland take the victory!

Who'd have thought after being 0-1 and 111-5 that Ireland would win the biggest ever ODI run chase 329-7? Great performance!!

England ????? at cricket if Ireland can beat them
we don't really play cricket in Ireland only ex-pats and English people in Ireland play it
Yes Ireland beat England in The Cricket World Cup
Kevin O'Brien scores the fastest century in World Cup history as a remarkable partnership with Alex Cusack sets up a grandstand finish as Ireland chase England's 327-8 in Bangalore.
K O'Brien run out (Bresnan) for 113, Balls- 63, 4s- 13, 6s- 6
.
Irelands Total for 7 outs 329 runs (49.1 ovs)
