BBC Northern Ireland is to televise the one-day international between Ireland and England at Stormont on 13 June.

Jackie Fullerton introduces the live coverage on BBC2 NI which begins at 1030 BST until the close of play.

Jonathan Agnew is joined in the commentary box by Graham Gooch, Simon Mann and Michael McNamee.

Digital satellite viewers throughout the UK will be able to see the game on BBC NI and the coverage will be available on the BBC Sport website.

There is live coverage on Radio Ulster (FM and MW) with Adam Coates presenting a Cricket Special on Tuesday (1900).

There will also be a 30 minute highlights programme later that evening at 2200 on BBC2 NI.

It will be Ireland's first official ODI and it will feature a burgeoning home team that has qualified for next year's World Cup in the West Indies.

But the star attractions will be many of the English players who won the Ashes against Australia last summer.

The BBC's Sports Personality of the Year, Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff is expected to be in the England squad.

The game will serve as a warm-up for the one-day series against Sri Lanka, which begins at Lord's on 17 June.

"The game is part of England's build up to the World Cup and I expect our best players to line up against Ireland," said Flintoff.

Mike Edgar, Head of Sport for BBC Northern Ireland, said: "The game will be one of the year's sporting highlights in Northern Ireland.

"There's certain to be great interest in the game with the visitors, and current Ashes holders, England, are expected to field a good side.

"We're delighted to broadcast live coverage of this prestigious game and our comprehensive coverage on BBC2 Northern Ireland means that cricket fans won't miss any of the action."
