England were five runs behind on the DLS scoring method, handing Ireland a famous victory.  “It’s amazing, kind of emotional,” said man-of-the-match Balbirnie. “Our message was to just create chances and we know how this England team like to play, if we take every chance then we would be in with a shot. “This will do a lot to grow the game back home.”
