I'm glad that you created this thread! Test format deserved a separate thread for the discussion. Good work, Royse!
Appreciate it bud.

Back to the Test match, England has 181 runs lead and they still have 1 wicket remaining. Tomorrow morning if they do not add anymore run still I think they will win this test. My expectation was to give Irish 150ish runs target but here we already have 181.

Who would have thought that a Test between Ireland and England will be that close :-P
200 must be achievable for IRELAND. It's 3rd day only and pitch is still in good mode. But, yesterday's rain main affect sognificantly. England has changed their game plan totally after they were packed with 85 runs. They planned to play aggresive and add some runs in the board which they achieved. Otherwise, it would be more easy for Ireland.

I believe prediction for test matches are really not needed at all because most of the matches are ends in Draw or if that is winning kind moment goes also it will be one-sided match.
When the situation is like that. Do we need prediction thread for test cricket?
However, good luck for your attempt to organise cricket lovers more closely Smiley

Again rain is playing with this tournament like last the world cup. Anyway, 2nd innings of England is a little bit of helpful for England because they are already leading 181 runs in 9 wickets. One wicket is remaining.  So another few runs will be came from the last wicket. So I think 200 more runs will be good for fighting.

Ireland got a great team of bowlers who managed to slow down England batsmen else with 1 wicket down, they were looking to get over 300 runs but now they are struggling to get 280. Only 3 wickets to take and then Ireland can easily win this match with about 150-160 to chase down.

If England lose this match, they'll say Ireland have great bowlers Cheesy

Looking at the seam movement and bounce, I would say that even 150 is going to be difficult for Ireland. But we are not done with the England innings yet. Broad and Curran are good batsmen, and if they build a partnership, then they will be able to rescue the team from trouble. But disturbingly, none of the English batsmen has shown any patience or determination to stay at the crease. They seems to be in T20 mode. 
This partnership really hurting Ireland 43 runs in just 5 overs can kill Irish dream if these two stay for more 3 or 4 overs then all damage will be done Curran is on fire 36 from 24 balls.

6th gone and England is leading by 113 runs only. The match is now having some more interest. Root is fighting hardly, if Ireland can manage him, target will not be more than 200 I think.This is a big chance for them.

7th gone and England leading by 117 runs. If Ireland can restrict the Brits to a lead of less than 150, then they will be having the advantage. However, any score above that will be very difficult under the current circumstances. Woakes can bat, and Sam Curran is not really a tail ender. So hope is still not lost for England. What they need to do is to bat patiently.

This match just keeps swinging here and there with no clear winner yet. Who would have expected Ireland to give England such a tough fight especially after they won the World Cup recently?

This is pure entertainment people. If England does not post something close to 200, I am confident that they will lose this match most likely.

Now this test enter in very interesting situation as England 70 on board and 4 wickets down Bairstow and Root on crease so any result can happen because with three quick wickets Ireland bowling and fielders feeling some good one more wicket and England in some deep trouble.

Bairstow gone now England feeling pressure even Root is still on but now they are in danger

That's a beauty of test cricket. At one time England was looking very strong, but a couple of wickets including bad call of Joe Root with running out his partner messed things for England.

Half team already in dugout and inning's lead still in 2 figures, Joe Root need to play captain's inning here.

Two has been down but I'm wondering Jack Leach is going to have a century who was only sent yesterday to complete the day without losing an important wicket. This match is really interesting. May be England will get more than 350 easily from this situation.

3 gone now. Murtagh back in action and now with two new batsmen on the crease, they will again need time to settle down and get runs. A 70-80 run partnership is required now to get a score above 300 else they will all tumble before putting up even 200 runs on the board.

I still feel they will easily cross 300 at this rate and put up a score that Ireland may not be able to chase. The batsmen have settled in so they will be batting till the end of this day. If Ireland don't manage to take 2-3 wickets before England reach 200, it will be very tough for them tomorrow.

Well I will blame England for their stupidity in the first innings. They must be taking Irish bowlers very lightly and they paid for it. Now are are seeing the real England and hopefully they will win this test. They need to get some confidence before Ashes if they want to perform good against Australia.
They played like West Indies during their 1st innings, but this turn around at the moment is awesome. Roy is on a roll again and he can take the game away on his own if he continues playing like this.

With many capable batsmen remaining, I think this is England's game all the way now. What a surprising turn of events.

Still 4 days to go, it's the 2nd day now. I don't like the aggressive batting from both, specially Roy. It's test match but he is hitting like chasing 350+ in ODI. The match is still in Irish hand if they can take some earlier wickets.

After embarrassment in first inning now England is much happier side as they have 89 for 1 Leach complete his first test half century and Roy is also looking good Partnership of 65 in just 12 overs mean they are attacking Irish bowling now surely they are going something 400+ and securing win because its very important for them before Ashes.

Jack leach looking good at 40runs, didn't expected this kind of inning from no 10 batsman who came to bat as a watchman. 
He is doing that he was asked for. Perfect job for a nigh watchman.

I remember in a one day match or in a test cricket, Robin sign in Indian team were called to open or in one down. Man! He scored a century and saved the match. I think it was against Pakistan and most provably in a ODI match where India were chasing a 300+ runs. Those days 300+ chasing means you are 100% in the losing side. It was not that easy to chase 300+ like these days.
