Ireland were knocked out of the ICC World Twenty20 at the Super Eight stage after a rainy no-result to their Group D shoot-out with England last night.

ENGLAND scraped unimpressively through to the ICC World Twenty20 Super Eight stage after a rainy no-result to their Group D shoot-out with luckless Ireland last night.

England were indebted to their Dublin-born middle-order batsman Eoin Morgan's 45 for helping them set a moderately testing target, which duly became irrelevant between the subsequent Providence downpours.
