    What is the record for the least wickets in a day the day after 20 wickets have fallen? It might happen tomorrow.

    Ireland, in response, had their own collapse, slipping from 132-2 to 149-7, but England's collapse meant it paled in comparison.

    And it only got worse for England. Ten days after they were crowd World Cup winners, they folded in a heap to 85 all out. They didn't even make it to lunch.

    What Tim Murtagh did so well was prey on that lack of uncertainty in the England batsmen's games.

    I can't see the batsmen leaving the ball very often. It was tentative batting.

    A reminder that England *won* the toss and *chose* to bat first. There was a bit of movement but nothing extravagant, and Tim Murtagh is a master of his craft.

    An amazing day. One you couldn't possibly have predicted.

  15. Close of playpublished at 19:03 British Summer Time 24 July 2019

    And that is your lot for the day.

    England will resume tomorrow on 0-0, trailing by 122 runs. What a day.

  16. Eng 0-0published at 1 over

    Solidly plonked away by Jack Leach.

    Final ball of the day coming up.

  18. Eng 0-0published at 0.5 overs

    A solid forward defensive from Jack Leach, and he gets the biggest cheer of the day as a result.

  19. Eng 0-0published at 0.4 overs

    Another probing delivery from Tim Murtagh swings past Jack Leach's outside edge.

    Two balls left...

  20. Eng 0-0published at 0.3 overs

    Jack Leach gets a delivery that tickles off his pads and, needlessly, signals to Rory Burns that he won't be taking a single.

    Burns hasn't moved an inch...
