10.15pm: That's your lot from the white-ball bubble - we've had fun, haven't we? Matt's report will sum up a run-filled series finale, and then get ready for a change of pace, because there's a Test match starting in about 12 hours' time. Thanks for chipping in, as always. From myself, Miller and Vishal, as well as Chandan and Thilak, it's goodnight and good luck. Bye!
10pm: Well, that was worth staying up for... Time for the presentations, starting with Man of the Match Paul Stirling: "It was brilliant to get our first win in the competition, especially after a couple of tough games, showed a lot of character to come back. We've chased over 300 a number of times, particularly in World Cups, so we knew we could do it, freed us up to go hard at the top, have a bit of fun and it was a solid chase in the end. We haven't played for so long, you get used to sticking your pads on having some nerves and then you get back to normal. You get past that and feel like you're back to normal again. Nice to go on. [Partnership?] Love batting with Bal, we seem to put on good partnerships. Great to bat with and his knock was pretty special as well. [Innings rank?] This is sup there, definitely, against England in England, nice knock to have but it's the win and the team that counts."
Player of the Series, David Willey: "Nice to get a go, and be back in the fold. When I bat it means we're in a bit of strife, but it was nice to get a few runs and a few wickets. I'm happy to get another chance, after the World Cup and not being involved in the winter, I wasn't sure if I was done, so wanted to come out and enjoy it. Yorkshire want me to play Saturday but we'll see how we go there. Normally when I go back and play county I get injured!"
Ireland captain Andy Balbirnie: "We're delighted with how that finished, didn't perform with the bat at all in the first two ODIs, so to come back in the field and then chase a total like that against a good side was great. We thought we could chase it but we had to bat well. Faded a bit in the field but manged to take regular wickets and 320-330 we knew we were in the game. [Powerplay approach?] I tried to be positive, different to Paul but we dovetailed well, and we created the big partnership which went a long way to winning the game. [Super League] It's going to be a scrap for us, we have to be competitive in all our games, we're grateful for the opportunity to come here, to the ECB for putting it on, and to come away with 10 points. We've got two weeks back home in quarantine and we have to get through that and back to training, but we're grateful and hopefully there'll be many more fixtures ahead."
England captain Eoin Morgan: "Full credit to Ireland, they've outplayed us today. We had an average day, stuttered throughout, we rebuilt from three down and then stuttered again, got to in-and-around a par score. But Ireland played well, and we have to thank them for coming over. [Target defendable?] We have more than enough wicket-takers in our group., Paul Stirling came out and had a good day but we failed to take opportunities when they arose. We weren't on top of our game today. We're learning more about players coming in and have opportunities to show what they can to. David WiIley, Sam Billings, Tom Banton, the bowling unit... Today was an insight on a better wicket what 50-over international cricket is like. It can be cruel. [Fitness?] Bit of a groin tweak, so didn't risk coming out, thought Moeen did a great job, he's very wise and uses every bit of experience, and he did everything he could. We have bowlers who take wickets, but we didn't take opportunities. Short and sharp but great fun to be back and hopefully the start of some more exciting white-ball cricket to come."
9.52pm: The whoops and cheers from the Ireland balcony were audible around a deserted Ageas Bowl, as Ireland completed only their second victory over England - the other being a certain Bangalore bushwhacking back in 2011 (when they also finished on 329, by the way). Kevin O'Brien was out in the middle to finish this one off, after twin tons from Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie, as Ireland finally roused themselves after two tepid performances had seen the series slip away. They've knocked England over on their home patch, despite a century from the captain, Eoin Morgan, and you can bet the world is going to hear about it, behind closed doors or otherwise!
"Ireland hit nine less 4s than England and one less 6," notes Ramble. "Just over 40 runs less in boundaries, as well as losing 7 less wickets. More than one way to achieve a total. Smart chase."
"Might find a pub named 329 somewhere in Dublin," chirps Ajeet
"So all 3 tons tonight are by Irish..!!" One way or another that's right, Azweer
And here's Justin Smyth, of this parish: "Fully deserved the win today. Fantastic display of batting from Stirling and Balbirnie, shame that the series has to end now. 10 points on the table. More then we thought that we could at the start of the series. Night to remember and it might not be an early one!"
"Super over????" Unlikely now, Hayden... One to win from three
Free hit
Todd: "Where's Liam Plunkett or Chris Jordan when you need them?" Time for young Saqib to show what he can do...
Saqib Mahmood it is to bowl the final over, with Ireland needing eight to win. Where's your hard-earned?
