Ireland's pursuit of 202 runs for victory against England has been halted by rain.

The hosts managed to play 13 overs in their reply innings, recording a score of 42-2 as they lost the wickets of Ed Joyce and Paul Stirling.

Ireland will need to complete 20 overs of play for the one-day international in Dublin to constitute a match.

Should the players return, William Porterfield and Niall O'Brien will return to the crease unbeaten on 15 and 9 respectively.

England earlier made 201-8.
