England could be playing against a bowling machine and still be 30-3 on the first morning against a red ball.

Root lbw Adair 2 (Eng 42-4)
Hitting middle of middle! The England captain has to go!
This is brilliant, brilliant bowling from Ireland, exposing all of England's weaknesses against the moving ball. This is so out, I don't quite know how the umpire didn't give it. Root was pushing forward and he just missed it.

Hello!
This looks a very, very good shout for lbw against Joe Root. William Porterfield sends it upstairs.

Ex-England seamer on BBC Test Match SpecialThat was a very relaxed effort from Tim Murtagh at fine leg.

In the Australia v Australia warm-up match, the Graeme Hick XI have been bowled out for 120. Three day Ashes Tests, anyone?
Joe Root tickles a Mark Adair delivery off his pads and gets a leggy four. Tim Murtagh escorts it into the boundary, rather than diving to stop it.

BBC Sport at Lord'sAn Ireland fan at the back of the Compton Stand punched the air as Burns was sent on his way. Test cricket is back and so are England's top-three woes.

Mark Collins: I bet the Aussies are shaking in their boots.
Eng 36-3published at 11 overs
Tim Murtagh's response is a delivery that nips back and hits Jonny Bairstow in, erm, a sensitive area.
One of the odder overs you're likely to see...
