With England's established white-ball players resting ahead of the World Cup in India in October, the three-match series with Ireland offered a chance for the next generation to show their qualities.England vs Ireland 2nd ODI Scorecard<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n After the first match of the series at Headingley was abandoned due to rain on Wednesday, England's prodigies seized their opportunity in the second game at Trent Bridge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Jacks smashed 94 off 88 balls, including seven fours and four sixes, while Hain made 89 off 82 deliveries as England amassed 334-8 after being put into bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Teenage leg-spinner Ahmed recorded impressive figures of 4-54 as Ireland were all out for 286 in 46.4 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Phil Salt was the most experienced England player in the line-up in his 15th ODI, with England's 11 players having a combined 38 ODI appearances compared with Ireland's 720.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Hain took top billing among the four England debutants, but George Scrimshaw had fluctuating fortunes, bowling six front foot no-balls in his first two overs before rebounding with figures of 8.4-0-66-3.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Jamie Smith and Tom Hartley had more modest outings but this was still an impressive display amid an expected changing of the guard after the World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Jacks' dazzling innings may have given the selectors a nudge about being on standby should injury befall the main group in the subcontinent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Jacks and Salt feasted on Ireland's fruitless pursuit of early swing with a rash of fours to bring up the 50 stand in the sixth over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n England's stand-in captain Zak Crawley was lbw for a two-ball duck in his first international innings since leading their run-charts in this year's drawn Test series against Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n But Jacks maintained his blistering assault, while Hain eventually came in to lay down his own claim for a future role in England's post-World Cup plans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
