Needing to bat for around two sessions, England were all out for 120 in 51.5 overs to fall 1-0 behind in the five-match series.
A little over four weeks before their Australia collapse, an England side still revelling in their historic World Cup triumph were brought back down to earth when they took on Ireland for the first time in a Test. Tim Murtagh exploited a green pitch at his home ground of Lord’s to take five for 13, as their opponents were all out before lunch on the first day in 23.4 overs. England got out of jail as Chris Woakes’ six for 17 saw Ireland shot out for 38 in the last innings.
