Ireland overcame another poor start to finish at 212 for nine in the second ODI against England here on Saturday.
The visitors, who decided to bat first, slipped to 91 for six before Curtis Campher, playing in just his second one-dayer, led the recovery. Campher scored an 87-ball 68 with eight fours before being dismissed by seamer Saqib Mahmood (two for 45).
Campher shared two key partnerships late in the innings — a seventh-wicket 60-run stand with Simi Singh (25) and 56 for the eighth wicket with Andy McBrine (24).
England leg-spinner Adil Rashid took three for 34 off 10 overs, including the key wicket of Kevin O’Brien. He went on to become the first England spinner to take 150 wickets in ODIs.
The players again took a knee to support Black Lives Matter before the game.
The three-match series, which is being played behind closed doors, marks the start of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.
England made one change with left-arm paceman Topley recalled to the side for the first time since the 2016 T20 World Cup after a career-threatening injury. He replaced Tom Curran. Ireland included Josh Little in place of the injured Barry McCarthy.
