Updates from the first ODI, 1pm BST start at Leicester | And mail GeoffCapsey as keeper is away! I can’t say that was the most conventional method – she lunges across and sticks out
43rd over: Ireland 232-4 (Stokell 35, Paul 15) Plenty of risk, plenty of reward, as Stokell pings hands at this ball wide of off stump, and slices it just over short third for four! Corteen-Coleman made a hash of that really, jumps but facing in the wrong direction, and has to try to reach the ball with her left hand, backhanded, rather than using the palm facing the ball. If that shot was streaky, the next four is clean as a whistle, full on the stumps and Stokell whips it with class through backward square.
Keeps strike with an edge over the keeper. Another big over for Ireland from the bowling of Gibson.
