Ireland register their first win of the T20 Cricket World Cup Super 12s against England.

Ireland have secured a historic win over England at the T20 Cricket World Cup in Australia.

Rain forced the suspension of play at the MCG, with Ireland winning by five runs via the Duckworth Lewis method.

Ireland had earlier set a target of 158. 

England were at 105 for the loss of five wickets after 14 overs when rain stopped play.

Andrew Balbirnie top-scored with 62 for the winners and says it's a hugely significant result. 

Ireland's next match is on Friday against Afghanistan.
