Ireland batter Harry Tector reached his ninth ODI half-century as Ireland recovered from a tricky powerplay to take Ireland's score to 91 after the end of the 20th over in the second ODI in the three-match series in Chelmsford on Friday. 

The hosts were two down for 30 after the end of the powerplay but Tector along with skipper Andre Balbirnie stitched together a 75-run stand, with the latter unbeaten on 25.

Tector reached his 50 in 53 balls as he hit four sixes and two fours.
