After Wednesday's opening game of this three-match T20I series produced plenty of runs and excitement, there was a palpable disappointment around Malahide, Dublin on Friday afternoon when the rain failed to stop.
A big crowd had come in, more in hope than expectation of Ireland levelling the series 1-1, and they still enjoyed themselves even if they did not see a toss flick or a ball bowled in anger!
Onwards to this final T20I of the series on Sunday where the supporters of both teams will be hoping for improved weather and 40 overs of engaging cricket.
This is the last game for England before their Test squad will be named for the Men's Ashes and a big performance with bat or ball could maybe get them on that plane to Australia!

If Ireland are going to end this series with a win and in doing so level it at 1-1, then it is likely to be their batters who can take them into a winning position.
The likes of Harry Tector, batting at number three, and Lorcan Tucker at four, both made half centuries here in Malahide on Wednesday and Tector was the pick with 61 not out from 36 balls.
That's not to say that Tucker wasn't impressive as he hit four sixes in his strong knock.
With the ball, Gareth Delany continues to show his experience is vital at this level with Craig Young, Matthew Humphreys and Graham Hume expected to be the key players.

It has been a brilliant end to the summer for Phil Salt at the top of the order for England and another big score in this innings could well see him come into the conversation as a late call-up for the Ashes, particularly with his wicket-keeping skills as a second string to his bow!
This England side is built on batting all the way through the XI and having someone like Adil Rashid, unorthodox but mightily effective and experienced, at number ten shows just that.
With the ball, Rashid and Dawson make up a spin attack which complements each other while the young Rehan Ahmed will give the ball a big rip as well as a big tonk when batting!
Luke Wood and Jamie Overton will make up the pace attack.

Although the weather forecast is for a Sunday afternoon with the temperatuer no higher than 13 degrees, it is at least expected to be dry and cloudless throughout.
The pitch may be a little more bowler friendly on Sunday due to the recent weather but we still expect a par score approaching 200 irrespective of which team bats first in this game.
Ireland to Win the Coin Toss 1.90
We back the home team Ireland to win the coin toss in the 3rd T20I match against England at The Village, Dublin.
With wet weather around on Friday, the pitch is likely to have sweated under the covers. As a result, we predict that both captains will choose to bowl first on Sunday.
