In one of the biggest shocks in the history of cricket a Kukri clad Ireland beat England in their ICC World Cup Group B match.

The Irish broke two records during the astounding three-wicket win, securing the tournament's highest ever run-chase while Kevin O'Brien clocked up its fastest ever hundred.

He reached his century during the match in Bangalore, India, from just 50 balls, helping towards his team's first ever World Cup victory over England.

O'Brien, who plays for Railway Union club in Dublin, commented: "I'm pretty speechless at the moment. To be honest it's the best innings I've ever played since I started playing cricket. I just kept going and kept believing and it went our way."
