Malahide - England captain James Taylor won the toss and elected to bowl in the one-day international against Ireland at Malahide on Friday

England included five debutants in Surrey graduate Zafar Ansari, Surrey's opening batsman Jason Roy, Hampshire batsman James Vince, Northants all-rounder David Willey and Yorkshire seamer Mark Wood, fresh from Barbados where he was not selected for the Test squad.
