Rain turns on England in Irish stunner to revive Aussies' T20 World ... (Fox Sports)

Rain on Australia's side! England stunned by Irish in boilover that keeps hosts' World Cup alive. Australia puts Sri Lanka to the sword | 04:02.

Their partnership ended when Tucker was run out for 34, with bowler Adil Rashid getting a finger to a Balbirnie drive, which cannoned into the non-strikers’ stumps with the batsman out of his crease. Livingstone matched Wood’s three-wicket haul when Mark Adair was caught in the deep and Ireland limped to the finish. The English are among the title favourites and were heavily-fancied to beat Ireland after opening their tournament with a five-wicket win over Afghanistan at the weekend. The win was Ireland’s first in the Super 12 (or 10 or 8) stage of the T20 World Cup. England started their chase poorly, sitting 3-29 off 5.1 overs chasing a healthy target of 158, and while they began to recover in the middle order the pace was not quick enough. Rain and a wobbly start from England has handed Ireland a famous T20 World Cup triumph at the MCG, by five runs on DLS.
