Superb England crush Ireland with record ODI chase
Confirmed
Bouchier holed out four balls after reaching her ton with 59 still required, but Alice Capsey’s 41 not out got England over the line in the 39th over after Freya Kemp contributed a breezy 36 off 22 deliveries. Wong struck early to dismiss Alice Tector for 11 with assistance from a fine one-handed catch from Capsey, who is deputising for Amy Jones as wicketkeeper and showed promised with the gloves.
She did eventually reach the milestone in a fifth-wicket stand of 84 with Leah Paul, but England's approach showed they would have needed a total beyond 300 to be challenging.
