Sri Lanka were probably on top until Stonis came in and smashed 59 from 18 ball!!
Cricket’s getting interesting.
England need 65 off 36.
Raining!
England 5 runs behind on DLS.
Needs to start in 10 mins or Ireland win 
Ireland win!
And in some further irony England have been helped by the weather, they still need to win the rest of their games though…

Amazing result!
Wetter than an otter’s pocket in Melbourne. Not looking good atm.
Possible 5 over game later.
Groundstaff just cleared the pitch and it started to rain again.

Looks like Australia are about to hammer Ireland, however this doesn’t look promising for England’s chances…
The forecast for Australia’s crunch game against Ireland in Brisbane is promising with only a small chance of a shower. But Tuesday, which is another double-header day where Sri Lanka face Afghanistan and England play New Zealand in the city, has a forecast of 100 percent chance of rain and up to 35mm falling. Adelaide, where the tournament travels next week, is forecast to be cool and showery although the early indication for the game days is more encouraging.
Apparently there is a 48,000 capacity stadium very close to the MCG which has a roof! A tiny part of planning may have saved some washed out matches…
