England won the 2nd ODI against Ireland by 48 runs, with Will Jacks scoring an impressive 94 on his debut and Sam Hain hitting 89
Figures of three for 66 may not immediately leap off the page but for George Scrimshaw, one of four debutants in a second-string England side that defeated Ireland at Trent Bridge, that wickets column will have meant the world.
And then it came, a maiden wicket for England as Andy Balbirnie poked at a ball outside off-stump and Ben Duckett duly hoovered up at slip. There was a sheepish look behind to the umpire, Rod Tucker, but the front foot was behind the line. Scrimshaw exhaled in relief beneath his officer-class moustache and was mobbed by a gaggle of new teammates.
Scrimshaw’s second wicket came when the chase was still live, Lorcan Tucker falling to a sparkling catch by Duckett in the ring, while his third was a case of shutting down proceedings. Craig Young and Josh Little had induced a touch of panic late on, adding 55 for the 10th wicket only for the latter to pick out long-on with 20 balls remaining.Photograph: Nathan Stirk/Getty Images
