    A suitably dramatic end to a dramatic day.

    And Ireland's first-innings collapse wasn't even to great bowling.

    A key period for Ireland was when they reached 130-2 in the first innings. They should've been aiming at 250-300 but were bowled out for 207.

    Stuart Broad finishes with 8-3-19-4.

    England cannot rely on the moving ball to get them out of a problem all the time. They need to sort out the batting and get big scores. I know it's negative but you've got to be realistic - there are still a lot of areas of concern in this Test team.

    Incidentally, if you've got day five tickets for the Ashes, I'd be a bit worried.

    Actually, at this rate, I'd be slightly concerned about my day three tickets.

    We can just ignore the fact that the first session ever happened and claim an innings victory, right?

    The conditions were perfect and when you've got the quality of Chris Woakes and Stuart Broad this can happen. We've seen England run through teams in these conditions over the years.

    Ireland will be disappointed and a bit embarrassed. But they should be proud that they came into the fourth innings and had a real chance of beating England. They might even have got there if it had been blues skies and the ball hadn't swung.

    What a sad way to end for Ireland.

    They exposed England's weaknesses on the first day, stuck at it and induced another collapse yesterday, but their batting, against an England bowling attack as quality as this in these conditions, just could not handle the run chase.

    Jack Leach for his 92? Tim Murtagh for his first-innings five-for?

    Who the heck gets man of the match?

    ...to worse.

    (Those wickets have fallen so quickly that we haven't had time to clip them all up yet...)

    England will say they had it under control but they didn't until they got early wickets this morning.

    Best of three, anyone?

  18. Postpublished at 14:00 British Summer Time 26 July 2019

    So.

    England were bowled out for 85 in a session.

    Ireland scored 207 to lead by 121 runs.

    England got themselves to 177-1 and then collapsed - again - to set Ireland 182 for victory.

    Ireland were bowled out in just over an hour for 38 to hand England a 143 run victory.

    Cricket, you make NO SENSE.

    This is the seventh lowest Test score of all time and the lowest since 1955.

    What do you say about this Test match? To be blown away like this will be devastating for Ireland.
