Englandhave found themselves in trouble, in the one off One Day International against Ireland at Belfast .
England came into the fixture with a lot of confidence having just regained the Ashes at the weekend but Ireland have appear to have the upper hand at the half way stage in Belfast.
The tourists were restricted to 203-9 from their allotted 50 overs, debutant Joe Denly was England's top scorer with a well made 67 but Jonathon Trott who was England's hero in the 5th Ashes Test at the Oval was out for a duck.
Widely regarded as one of the most dangerous non Test playing nations in World Cricket Ireland reached the Super 8 stage at the 2007 ICC World Cup in the West Indies, on that occasion the Irish managed to beat Pakistan in the group stages and Bangladesh in the 2nd round.
A victory against England today would rank right up there with the finest accomplishments in Irish Cricket.
