Hampshire skipper Vince fails to take latest opportunity to press case for a regular slot in England’s ODI side

For the third successive game, the Hampshire batsman was dismissed for a disappointing score at his home ground.

He had reached 16 when he was given out caught behind after Ireland called for a review.

There was a feeling before the game that it could be the last chance saloon for the 29-year-old.

In the opening two matches Vince, as he has done on so many international occasions for the Three Lions, flattered to deceive before being dismissed for moderate scores of 25 and 16.

Vince is now averaging just 23 with the bat from 14 completed ODI innings - his top score remains the 51 he scored in his first innings against Sri Lanka four years ago.

He didn't have long to wait before starting his latest bid for a regular slot in the world champions’ top order as opener Jason Roy was dismissed in the first over.

It was the perfect opportunity for him, with 49 overs to show his class.

The start was far from convincing, edging a shot high over the slips to the boundary ropes.

His second boundary in the next over, however, was more like it - the product of a trademark perfectly-timed cover drive.

As so many times before, though, once Vince looked set he failed to deliver.

Craig Young's first ball of the tenth over beat the bat with bowler, slips and wicket-keeper going up in unison claiming a catch.

The umpire remained impassive and Vince stayed in his crease.

Ireland immediately reviewed and UltraEdge showed a clear spike and the umpire told to reverse his decision.

Vince trudged disconsolately back to the pavilion, possibly sensing his international career might be over.

Skipper Eoin Morgan and Tom Banton then proceeded to show Vince how it should be done.

Morgan stormed to 106 off 84 balls, before he was out, while Banton reached his half-century off just 41 deliveries.
