8:17 PM IST, 3:47 PM Local Time: England take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series against Ireland with a thumping 275 run win in the 2nd ODI, their biggest margin of win in the format. A terrific performance with the bat from Tammy Beaumont and then from the skipper Kate Cross (3/8) with the ball delivering the goods along with Lauren Filer (3/10).
England won the toss and opted to bat first with the Irish skipper admitting she would have done the opposite. Tammy Beaumont was at her supreme best and became the leading century scorer for her side slamming her 10th in the format to take England to a very strong 320/8.
Skipper Kate Cross started off with a couple of wickets in her first over and then removed Orla Prendergast in her 2nd, Lauren Filer with her raw pace and excellent lines and length sent Leah Paul packing in her 2nd over pushing Ireland down to 8/4.
Replacement bowlers Freya Kemp (2/17) and debutant Georgia Davis (2/19) continued the momentum and picked up a couple of wickets each with only opening batter Una Raymond-Hoey scoring into double digits with 22 in 37 balls.
England Women have officially qualified for the next ICC Women's World Cup. The third ODI of the series will be played on Wednesday.

Time for the presentations.
Tammy Beaumont is the player of the match.
Tammy Beaumont (Player of the Match): "Yes, I found it tough. Ireland bowled tight lines and slower pace through the pitch. But we stayed tough and was in till the end and played my strokes.
Yes, I was going through it and took the responsibility to take it deep.
Freya Kemp showed her class and batted really well. She took pressure off me and I took it deep.
I have opened the innings for a long time and I went through the innings really well out there. It was a good innings for us and a good win."

Gaby Lewis (Ireland Women Captain): "I think cricket's all about ups and downs. Today was obviously a down day. We are a young squad, we will learn from this and that's the key about our squad that they are learning on the go. Three of our bowlers are under 19. So its a lot to expect from them. Credit to England, they are a quality side. Tammy batted brilliantly. Sometimes you just head to shake your head and say 'well done'.
You bring that power in when you bowl not in the area where you bowl so we may be bowled too much of extras at times. We will look out and hopefully rectify in the next game. I think we will switch off and learn from our mistakes and hopefully put it in our performances and make Ireland proud."

Kate Cross (England Women Captain): "Yes, I am enjoying it out there. Tammy batted really well out there. Then the bowlers bowled really well and made it easier for us.
Really bowled well and I enjoy bowling here and everyone put their hands up.
Lauren Filer was great and was fired up today and she has done really well today.
Everyone will know how to bat after Tammy and opportunities for people to do well.
Everyone will look at Tammy and look to do well on Wednesday again. Happy and hope to continue the good work."
