England eye series win over Ireland in Derby ODI
Charlie Dean leads an experimental England side against Ireland in the second ODI at Derby, aiming to seal the three-match series early.
England can wrap up the one-day series against Ireland on Thursday, with the second match at Derby starting at 1pm BST.
Charlie Dean captains an experimental side. England have rested three regulars for the series: captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, spinner Sophie Ecclestone and seamer Lauren Bell. Alice Capsey takes the gloves in their absence.
The opener in Leicester set the tone. Ireland put 282 on the board, and England ran it down with 71 balls to spare, their highest successful ODI chase. Maia Bouchier made 104 off 95 balls, her third international century, while Sophia Dunkley added 73 off 61.
A win in Derby settles the series with a match to spare. The third and final ODI follows on Sunday in Worcester, starting at 10:30am.
