England sweep series

Jonny Bairstow's quickfire 72 not out set up England's 85-run win over Ireland in the second one-day international at Lord's yesterday.

Victory saw England take the two-match series 2-0 after they had launched their build-up to next month's Champions Trophy tournament with a comfortable seven-wicket win at Bristol on Friday.

Ireland, in their first ODI at 'the Home of Cricket', fought hard with the ball but suffered a batting collapse after a promising start and were dismissed for 243 chasing 329 to win.

Ireland captain William Porterfield did however make 82, the top score of the match, as his side restored some pride .

SCORES IN BRIEF

ENGLAND: 328 for 6 (Morgan 76, Root 73, Bairstow 72; McCarthy 2-61, Chase 2-69)

IRELAND: 243 all out in 46.1 overs (Porterfield 82, Stirling 48, Dockrell 28; Plunkett 3-23)

Result: England won by 85 runs.
