'Huge for the sport' - Ireland captain Balbirnie on win over England

England captain Eoin Morgan said Ireland "thoroughly deserved to win" after his side suffered their first home ODI defeat to the Irish at Southampton on Tuesday.

Ireland won by seven wickets after a brilliant batting display and were indebted to brilliant centuries from Paul Sterling (142) and captain Andrew Balbirnie (113) as they overhauled England's imposing total.

Bizarrely, their total of 329 was exactly the total they made when they beat England for their only other win against them, in the 2011 World Cup.

There was a third Irish centurion in the match, in the shape of England captain Morgan (106), who was off the field injured for his side's poor fielding and bowling display - Moeen Ali taking over the armband.

Balbirnie called the win "huge for the sport" in Ireland.
