Ireland secured a dramatic coup against England in the third one-day international at Stormont, overcoming the loss of three wickets in Mady Villiers’ final over as Alana Dalzell struck her first ball for four to pull off a three-wicket win.

Hollie Armitage had successfully run out Una Raymond-Hoey earlier in the over but fumbled the final ball at long-on, allowing it to trickle over the boundary and seal Ireland’s victory.
