Eleven years on from their 50-over World Cup upset win over the same opponents at Bangalore, Ireland have blown this Super 12s group wide open, with England needing to win their three remaining fixtures to finish in the top-two. Jos Buttler refused to blame the rain for England's shock defeat, accepting "the better team won". But with the constant threat of rain, England's reply never really found its feet.
