Murtagh b Woakes 2 (Ire 38)
Six for Chris Woakes!
Ireland are bowled out for 38 and England win by 143 runs. What a ridiculous, ridiculous match.

Tim Murtagh is basically stood at square leg to face these deliveries from Chris Woakes.
He misses them all.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialThis is sad, Ireland really stood up and competed for two days but to crumble like this leaves a bad taste.

Runs! Tim Murtagh!
Tim Murtagh should be everyone's favourite batsman, as he backs away and hoicks Chris Woakes into the off side for two.

Test match cricket is an enigmatic, frustrating and wonderful thing! Long may it continue. My first introduction to it was the 1981 Headingley test. Have been enthralled ever since.

Huge applause for Boyd Rankin as he digs out a yorker to end the over!
Ire 36-9published at 14.5 overs
Stuart Broad spears some absolute nonsense down the leg side, trying to follow a moving Boyd Rankin, and Jonny Bairstow stops it racing away for byes
I don't even know any more.

Boyd Rankin aims another big 'un down the ground, and ends up flashing at fresh air.

Swing and a miss!
Ire 36-9published at 14.2 overs
Five slips and a short leg waiting. You know, like they are in every normal Test match.
Boyd Rankin goes hustling away to the leg side and somehow manages to avoid edging the ball or being bowled.

McBrine c Root b Broad 0 (Ire 36-9)
This is like watching a looped video.
Squared up, outside edge, caught low by Joe Root at first slip. Rinse and repeat!
