Crawley is ready to make an attack for Duckett and block the ball to the foot in a single phase. Then Hume hit the opener on the pads and got a half-hearted call from Ireland.

However, the ball is thrown outside the foot so there is not much appeal to it.

To make matters worse, Hume strays outside and Duckett clings to a gorgeous drive and collects another boundary.

Zak Crawley passed the ball easily to one man to put Ben Duckett in the net of Mark Adair.

Adair didn’t have enough speed to challenge Duckett with a short ball and the left-handed opener stabbed him through midwicket on four runs!

He does it again with the next ball and things look ominous for Ireland. If Duckett succeeds, their lead will evaporate quickly.

Ben Duckett returned to the England squad for the winter and formed a good partnership with Zak Crawley. He impressed in Pakistan as England won 3-0 and also scored with decent odds against New Zealand.

Duckett was also away. He beat Graham Hume by four goals as England got off to a confident start.

Crawley was away at the second ball. He hit a shot with his foot after being offside and scored England’s first goal of the innings.

Adair pushes the ball slightly fuller and tries to press the batter high with his front foot.

Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley stepped out into the middle of the field to the applause of the watching crowd. This could be a big round for Crawley, who is under a bit of pressure to stay at the top of the table.

Mark Adair opened bowling for Ireland and immediately found a hint of a swing.

One final Potts flourish and that was it in the Irish innings, 172 in all.

While it may not quite fit the British ‘Bazball’ style, it is enjoyable after an unstable start.

Curtis Campher almost deserved a half-century penalty for his defender actions, which saved Ireland from a truly disappointing first inning total, which looked doable to 19 tourists. age in the early three doors.

There will be times of disappointment for Josh Tongue, who failed to make his first test, with 13 passes 40 times, even though he hit speeds of up to 90 mph.

UK bowling figures:

England’s bowling attack ignited as Ireland was knocked out early in the evening. Matt Potts, Jack Leach and Stuart Broad shared what they had in common.

The tune was soon set by Stuart Broad, who brought Ireland down to 19-3. Despite the visitors trying to attack and fix a decent score, England continued to score and won all 10 goals in 57 rounds.

Now, putting England ahead is over.

That’s the end of the match. Matt Potts found the inside edge of Fionn Hand’s stick and left Jonny Bairstow with a sharp catch on his left side.

The goalkeeper held on and the Irish protest was over.
