    Preety biased on the beeb as well, more about Englands mistakes than Irelands form.

    To be fair, the majority of those using the BBC will be more concerned with England's progress than Ireland's, so the emphasis of the commentary will be on them. To be expected of any national broadcaster.

    These two lads are playing not just to score but to frustrate and dent English confidence. Good tactics to be honest - they just have to make sure they don't give away their wicket in the process... Good to see those confident cracking shots..!

    KOB is playing very nicely, and Cusack is doing well at the other end. If these 2 can stay going for another 6 overs and leave us needing 90 or so from the last 10 overs then we can have a right crack at it.

    Great strokes by O'Brien but he's going to be cleaned bowled sooner rather than later.

    I hope KJ O'Brien gets a ton - he deserves it after what he has done so far.

    BBC bias ;)

    34 overs Commentary Ire 205-5
    Ireland need 136 to win from 17 overs and have already made England's final powerplay batting look thoroughly feeble. Cusack does the right thing, again ensuring O'Brien takes most of the strike. Bresnan is bowling, and O'Brien top-edges a pull over the slips for four. You can't begrudge him the odd slice of luck. This is the fastest ODI fifty by an Irish player by the way. Now he slams Bresnan over point for six. Alarm bells continue to ring very loud for England and their supporters now. Marvellous stuff from O'Brien and Ireland.

    Just hope KOB gets his century, then we can focus on other things :D

    Was not expecting this. I still don't think there is any point getting excited yet, but at least this is a more than respectable performance.

    It is great to still be in with a shout, though.

    Ireland in to 3/1 on P Power now. KOB stays for remaining overs and Ireland will win.

    If Ireland wins this today, there will be so many jumping on to the cricket bandwagon tomorrow - but I don't care - the more the merrier! Such a fantastic sport!!

    Another SIX!! :D:D
