Adil Rashid took three wickets as world champions England held Ireland to 212-9 featuring Curtis Campher's 68 in the second one-day international at Southampton on Saturday. Leg-spinner Rashid had fine figures of 3-34 from his maximum 10 overs. But Campher followed his 59 not out on debut during England's six-wicket win in the series opener at Southampton on Thursday with another impressive fifty that again rescued Ireland from a top-order collapse. The 21-year-old South Africa-born all-rounder, qualified for Ireland through his mother but yet to play a match in his adopted country, hit eight fours in an 87-ball innings.

David Willey, who ripped through Ireland's top order during an ODI best 5-30 on Thursday had them in trouble again after Ireland captain Andy Balbirnie, somewhat surprisingly, decided to bat first after winning the toss. Left-arm paceman Willey struck two early blows, having Gareth Delany lbw for a duck and dangerman Paul Stirling well caught by a diving Tom Banton at backward point.
