Any tips on how to explain this to two children whose last England experience was seeing them win the World Cup on TV?

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialI'm not sure what is more remarkable - that amazing World Cup final or England being 67-8 on the first morning of a Test match against Lord's.

Nick: England torn apart by a nearly retired 75mph county trundler. Love Murtagh but we are embarrassing and I've never seen a worse top 3. If we play Burns, Roy, Denly in Ashes we may as well shake hands and concede 5-0 now.

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialNo matter where England are playing, if the ball does something, you feel they will get bowled out.

BBC Test Match SpecialSam Curran whipped it away instinctively but it was a tremendous catch! Even the right shot is going straight to a fielder!

Curran c McCollum b Rankin 18 (Eng 67-9)
What a grab!
When things are going your way... this is ridiculously good from James McCollum at forward short leg. Sam Curran came forward, trying to whip Boyd Rankin away, but he ended up guiding it towards McCollum. McCollum stuck his hands low in front of him and made a tricky catch look very easy.
One more to go for Ireland...

Samuel Ager: The fist pumps a couple of weeks ago in my office have now been replaced with a loud smash as my head connected with the desk.

BBC Test Match SpecialYou'd normally say that a side in this position have lost the match before lunch on day one. But we'll have to see how Ireland bat on this pitch.
Eng 67-8published at 20 overs
An edge from Olly Stone drops just short of Paul Stirling at first slip, before a huge lbw appeal is ignored by Aleem Dar.
Sam Curran nurdles a single and clips a nice three away, while Stone survives back-to-back lbw shouts inbetween.

Former England captain on TMSEngland have to bowl Ireland out cheaply but they can't chase wickets. If you chase wickets at Lord's you can go round the park.

Olly Stone nurdles a single through third man to get off the mark, before Sam Curran goes for a yahoo of a pull and sends a top edge over the keeper for a couple.

My favourite thing about Stuart Broad is that he was adamant he hadn't hit that.
Anyway. Here's Olly Stone, on debut.

BBC Test Match SpecialA terrific review from Ireland!
And a brilliant catch by Gary Wilson!
WICKETpublished at 18.4 overs
Broad c Wilson b Rankin 3 (Eng 58-8)
Gone!
Honestly, I'd have given this out just for the terrific, tumbling take from Gary Wilson behind the stumps. It was a good delivery from Boyd Rankin, jagging back, and Broad, playing back, couldn't help but get bat on it.
