Ireland v England: Tourists overcome the collapse of the bat to win a win at the box office

England survived the panic and beat Ireland a little by four wickets during the international day trip to Malahide.

The tourists, chasing 199 to win, slipped to 46-3 and 101-6, with debutant Josh Little taking 4-45.

However, the undefeated half-century of Ben Foakes and the 47 other absentees of Tom Curran helped guide the best players of the first day to a disconcerting victory.

Liam Plunkett was the outstanding bowler of England, taking 4-35 while Ireland was eliminated for 198 in 43.1.

Ireland has defeated England only once in its last seven meetings, during the World Cup group match in 2011.

They got closer to Malahide, combining excellent ground with a precise bowling, but the Foakes heats proved the difference.

If Ireland had considered a close cry against Foakes when he was 37, he would have been and England would have had more difficulties.

However, Foakes remained in the fold and avoided England to start a gigantic summer with a surprising loss.

England will travel to Cardiff for a unique match of the Twenty20 against Pakistan on Sunday, before the start of the five-game ODI series on Wednesday.

Foakes in the lead for England

England will participate in this summer's World Cup as a favorite, having lost one of her last eight ODI matches at home.

However, they were sometimes not convincing against the Irish bowlers and the short ball.

Captain Eoin Morgan resisted a Little bouncer behind while Joe Denly shot Boyd Rankin's short ball directly to the defensive mid-wicket.

Former Irish wicket goaltender Niall O-Brien told Test Match Special that he "has never seen an international team play with bouncers as mediocre as England today."

Ireland was also good on the field: George Dockrell's magnificent diver dismissed the opener, James Vince, before go-go keeper Gary Wilson took a low hand to fire his rookie Dawid Malan.

Led by Tim Murtagh, they were stingy mid-game, but Foakes hit Rankin in 33rd place to tip the scales in favor of England.

While Jofra Archer, who was making his international debut after qualifying to play for England in March, had dominated the pre-season of the match, it's Foakes who has most impressed.

The gatekeeper, Foakes, had ambaded his half-century of 70 balls and had occupied the fold for 119 minutes, but that was enough to seal the victory.

Well but not enough of Ireland

The match was reduced to 45 points after a heavy rain Friday, so Ireland had to face a delicate proposition.

They got off to a good start with a hint of grbad, but they could not find a partnership to put pressure on the English bowlers.

They slipped from 55-0 to 77-4, with Paul Stirling and Kevin O Brien both surprised to want to be too aggressive, while Lorcan Tucker sent Plunkett's slower ball to the opposing field player.

Foakes was clever enough to dismiss Andrew Balbirnie: picking up a wide side of Denly on the legs and then removing the bail as the drummer swayed and lifted his back foot off the ground.

Mark Adair made a late appearance, hitting Curran twice in the stands for six, but he was underperformed by a superb Yorkman at 90.3 mph from the Archer while Ireland s 39; ; erased.

"We found a way to win" – what they said

English captain Eoin Morgan: "I knew it would be difficult at the stadiums, but the bowlers did a great job, there were three or four of us struggling badly but Ben Foakes was superbly defeated in his debut and he and Tom Curran took us over the line. 39; arrival.

"We have found a way to earn today, which is good."

The Englishman of the Ben Foakes match: "It was tough – we were fed up and with their bowlers, we had to stick to what was offered, because we played so well and we limited them to under 200, speed of execution never exceeded us. " . "

Irish Captain William Porterfield: "There were tough conditions in the morning, but we wanted another partnership to release the guys back .. But I can not criticize the fight of my team.We had three beginners and none of them n & # 39, seemed instead. "
