47th over

230 - 7 bowled by Woakes

HERE THEY ARE!

THEY ARE OUT AND THE ANTHEMS ARE PLAYING

A SOLDIERS SONG NOW

NOW FRANCE

La Marseillaise

48th over

Ball being dried between overs, spots visible on the cameras. England must be aware that after they've batted for (I think) 5 overs they will have to work on the Duckworth Lewis rules.

3rd umpire called in again on a suspected LBW - not out

237 - 7 bowled by Jordan

THIS IS A GRUDGE MATCH TODAY

The last time these two national teams met, 7 years ago, THAT INCIDENT occured!

When THIERRY HENRI, at that time an Fifia Ambassador for Fair Play on the pitch, put Ireland out of the World Cup Qualifiers with his INFAMOUS ... DOUBLE HANDBALL!

AND IRELAND HAS NEVER FORGIVEN OR FORGOTTEN! :-D :-D

HERE WE GO... THE FOOTY HAS KICKED OFF!

BUT NO.... A FALSE START

AND WE ARE AWAY AGAIN


NO COMMENTARY TODAY

Just cheering, scores and banter as we watch this game together :-) :-) :-)

248 - 9 ALL OVER FOR SRI LANKAN BATSMEN


Sri Lankan batting average for England to beat 4.96 runs per over

As I have an Irish OH, and the Irish are fellow celts...

I am sitting here in a Green T Shirt, my jade statement ring, green beaded necklet and sparkly green earrings (cos I've lost one of my jade earrings) ....

a bit of a mishmash... but hey ... THEY ARE ALL GREEN :-D :-D :-D


But the Wales Scarves are still hanging on my curtain pole :-D :-D :-D :-D

Come on Ireland, with you now Jem

Hello Radio Jem and all rugby/footy fans..... here we go, here we go, here we goooooo

Hello Cyprus Pat..... hubby is a sport fanatic and had recorded the cricket so I
won't tell him the final result.

France 0 - 1 Ireland.

Come on Ireland Come on Ireland

It's only half time Kandj. Only Sri Lanka have batted. England have 50 overs to get more than their total of 248. The weather isn't too good so it's all in the balance.

Shane Long pushed Frenchman ... Free kick for France in a very dangerous place

But he did not .... according to my biased OH :-D :-

It's OK, the Irish Goalie, Darren Randolph saved the day again!

~~~~~~~~~ to Pat in Cricket World :-) :-) :-) :-) <3 <3


The Frenchman is injured- Paul Pogba

He got hit in the chest by Long, and he has pain and felt sick. He's had a drink and he's carrying on
