Ireland celebrate a win over England ‘we’ll remember forever’
Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie savoured a momentous victory over England as “one we’ll remember forever” after overcoming the world champions in a nail-biting conclusion at the Ageas Bowl.
Tons from Paul Stirling and Balbirnie in a 214-run stand in the third one-day international laid the foundations for a chase of 329, the same score Ireland reached in famously beating England at the 2011 World Cup.
