"And after England bowled first in the final Twenty20 international against Ireland, he jarred a knee while taking a catch in the deep, forcing him off the field and bringing into question what role he would play in the chase. But a grimacing knock was also a welcome one: Cox struck his first international half-century in a successful chase of 155, securing England a comfy six-wicket victory and a 2-0 series win."
"Rain got in the way of the second T20 but Malahide found some sun in the early afternoon, with England making two changes: in came Cox and Sonny Baker, making his second white-ball bow this month. The first had been ruined by Aiden Markram's bat as Baker conceded 76 from his seven overs, the worst figures by an England debutant in one-day internationals."
Jordan Cox endured prior setbacks including a broken thumb and an abdominal injury before the Ireland match. He jarred a knee while fielding early in the final T20, briefly leaving the field, but returned to score his first international fifty. Cox arrived at 33 for two and helped chase 155, finishing with a composed performance alongside Tom Banton, who contributed an unbeaten 36 and shared a 49-run partnership. England made two changes with Sonny Baker returning for a second white-ball outing. Early bowling saw Liam Dawson and Rehan Ahmed make breakthroughs while Ireland struggled for middle-order stability.
