    Moeen Ali is at the crease...calm down everyone.  :)
    Not going to blame you for that one.  Moeen is a walking wicket at the moment.

    43-7, Moeen goes.

    Does anyone know if Theresa May can bat?

    I think they need to build a duck pond at Lords

    Has Eoin Morgan been giving his countrymen inside tips on the England side?

    Or we're just out of our depth in the red ball game.

    Scottish cricket fan smiles ruefully and shakes head in wonder at the roar of the Celtic Tiger. :)

    We haven't even got the Burnley Lara to rescue us.

    In the face of this onslaught, surely England's only hope must be to play for the draw now.

    I thought Mitchell Starc was the best red ball  bowler in the world.  

    Turns out I was wrong. 

    It's Tim Murtagh. 

    What a devastating session of quick bowling he's put in.  Fast bowling like this has never been seen before...  Some deliveries were pushing 75mph.

    It's not as if anyone suggested that too much one-day cricket would have an effect on test match batting.

    They are effectively coming into this game cold, with no preparation. And someone, or some committee, thought that this is the way to regain the Ashes. 

    It beggars belief.

    They say you can't judge the pitch until the other team have batted on it. We'll find out in about 20 minutes... =)

    85 all out.

    As well as Ireland bowled this was shameful. If I was a team sponsor I would be asking for my money back.

    I don't know.. they did high drama very well last week, they're just seeing how well they can do banana skin comedy today.
    Top of the class, I reckon.

    On the plus side it's our highest ever Test total against Ireland.

    wow - 85 all out in one session 

    I know we can all have a bad day - I know some other of the players might be mentally fatigued after the WC, or indeed not mentally turned on for this, thinking it would be an easy dress rehearsal - But 85 all out and the Aussies will be laughing

    Our worst ever??? (considering the opposition)

    The opening batsmen are both on 4 runs as I type, they have both outscored 6 of our players!!!!

    Not sure what match England were playing this morning but it wasn't this one.
