England only had 8 out. Does that mean Ireland can't have more than 8 out?

Jesus, every time Cusack swings my hear races.. He needs to take up the reins a little to give Kev a break, but not chase the runs....

Shite, bad lack of concentration. 275/6 AFTER 42. Decent dig by Cusck though. C'mon lads FOCUS......

Cusak run out. O'Brien scored 100 runs of 28 scoring strokes. He had 22 dot balls (non scoring deliveries). So 100 off 50 balls.

C'mon Mooney, keep your sh*t together. He's all over the fecking shop, that's a really worry as it will unsettle O'Brien more than losing Cusack...

Need to keep the momentum up or the pressure will increase as the run rate rises.....

Calm heads required now. Mooney just needs to act as a foil for O'Brien and not try anything too fancy for a few overs. We all know that Trent can hit a few sixes if needs be, but we're not going to win this game if it requires Dockrell or Rankin to reach any sort of score.

Anyone know where you can hear commentary or see the match on the net?

BBC can't stream outside the UK for this.

C'mon lads punish the bad balls to the boundary. Don't want to see O'Brien running too much at this stage....

I'm listening to it on BBC 5 Live Extra on the Television via my UPC Cable feed here in D24.

Starting to think that Trent should have been sent in there ahead of Mooney. I appreciate that TJ sometimes gives his wicket away cheaply, but he's well able to smack it over the fence on his good days.

Nerves are gone at this stage. It's no fun 'watching' on Yahoo Cricket but at least it means I can watch without the boss knowing!
