    Hang on a sec Amy, I'm just marking out my long run.

  2. Postpublished at 13:24 British Summer Time 24 July 2019

    Well. From winning the World Cup 10 days ago to losing all 10 wickets in the first session of the Test summer. That's England for you.

    I'm off to process what just happened. Jack Skelton will take you through to tea.

    I never thought I'd live to see the day where Michael Vaughan is peering at one of my son's exercise books where I've scribbled down England being bowled out for 85 inside a session by Ireland.

    England have so much talent. They have got the game to be successful. But you worry about the mentality of the team when it becomes tricky and the ball moves around.

    Unless they change their mentality when playing the moving ball, there are going to be many more days like this over the coming weeks.

  8. England's sorry session in numberspublished at 13:18 British Summer Time 24 July 2019

    • England's total is their ninth lowest in a home Test.
    • It is the fourth time they have been bowled out in a session since 2016.
    • It is their fifth shortest Test innings in terms of balls bowled - 23.4 overs.

    I still can't believe what I've seen really.

  10. 'I'm not quite sure what's happened...'published at 13:16 British Summer Time 24 July 2019

    Ireland's Tim Murtagh, who took 5-13, on Sky Sports: "I'm not quite sure what's happened in the last two hours. It's a dream just to play here in the first place. But to get on the honours board....

    "It's a fantastic first session for us.

    "Everything felt really good today. The ball came out nicely and it did a little bit off the wicket. I should know how to bowl on this ground - I've been here long enough.

    I didn't think I'd be on the away honours board when I first started playing, but I'll take it. I'm over the moon."

    It's tremendous for cricket to see Tim Murtagh walking off holding up the ball for a fine five-for.

    It's fantastic to see Ireland playing Test cricket.

    A friend of mine at Lord's has just texted me to inform me the people next to them have just turned up for the morning's play, expecting to watch England bat. She's had to break it to them that, er, they've missed England's innings.

    England chose to bat! And they've been bundled out in 23.4 overs. Amazing.

    A cracking catch, excellent use of DRS... Ireland were firmly on it this morning.

    I can hardly believe these reading the wickets back.

  15. Postpublished at 13:13 British Summer Time 24 July 2019

    There were eight extras in that innings, which makes them the fourth highest scorer for England.

    England have lost all 10 wickets in a session three times in the last three years, having previously not done so since 1938.

  17. Postpublished at 13:12 British Summer Time 24 July 2019

    That's England's lowest Test total at home since they were bowled out for 77 by Australia in 1997 at Lord's.

    Sam Curran wasn't even born then.

    England fans will applaud Ireland off - they've just seen a magnificent bowling display.

    This is surely up there with Ireland's finest moments in cricket. They are embarrassing the hosts at Lord's.

    Mark Adair finishes with 3-32 and Boyd Ranking with 2-5 (!!!).

    You know what, after missing out on the 10-team World Cup, Ireland have proved a point, and then some.
