This England v Ireland test match

[Old Stroller]

Currently 43-7. England that is, having won the toss and choosing to bat.

We need to get over this World Cup hangover pretty quick,  58-8 now.

I suppose England can get their own back when they go to Croke Park to play Ireland in the hurling.

I assume this is a ODI. 69-9 now.

Stupid to bat first on an obviously green seaming pitch.

Some dreadful shots being played. I'm not quite sure how Jonny Bairstow has been bowled by nothing more than a trundler. Was he just shocked at how slow it actually was delivered? Curran was a bit unlucky I suppose but this is dreadful batting. Maybe we should've treated it as a one day game seeing we could be all out for 22 overs?

My wife is Irish. She's been trying to ring me for half an hour now but I'm not answering and it's staying that way.

You have to hope its just world cup hangover otherwise we could be in for a very long (or short!) summer...

[Old Stroller]

85 all out. Before lunch.

[Duffers]

Almost as if they’ve been on the piss for two weeks.
