So Ireland go down by 56 runs in their first match of this year's Friends Provident Trophy campaign. There were a lot of positives to be taken form this game - the opening spell from Kevin O'Brien in particular. However, after a bright first over the Irish batsman found it hard to pick up the singles and maintain momentum against a Notts seam attack in which Mark Ealham was outstanding.
