I don't think that the ECB really cares about this match. Since Ireland is their neighbor, they feel obliged to grant them one test every two or three years.

Lol This is international cricket where you have to play each match to win it and not to FIX it and grant it to any team only because they are neighbors.

India in pool match and Australia in semi finals played the fix matches to smoothen the way for England to the finals in WC and now England granting the match to their neighbors Cheesy

Breaking News: The three bigs (Aus / Ind /Eng) are involved in match fixing Cool

If Ireland could get to a score above 200, then they'll be in a realistic position to beat England. I have a feeling that the Brits took Ireland very lightly and used this test as an opportunity to give some of the younger players a test cap. In the end, it is turning out to be a humiliation. The world champions (debatable whether they really won the cup or not) have been bowled out for a two digit score.

I can't believe what I am seeing today. Remember England are the World Cup winners and how come their team get all out against Ireland in less than 100 runs. This is just not imaginable. If Ireland manage to win this test match, It will be a big setback for the England team.

I don't think that the ECB really cares about this match. Since Ireland is their neighbor, they feel obliged to grant them one test every two or three years. The results probably doesn't matter, as the TV revenue is likely to be near zero. But still, an innings defeat can be very humiliating for them. Also, another thing to note here is that only four of those who played the world cup finals for England are participating in this match.

Update: One more wicket down, as Stirling is out. Ireland leading by 47, with 7 wickets in hand.

Andy Balbirnie has scored a half century against England at the Lord's. 50 from 56 balls, at a strike rate of 89.0.

Ireland now leading by 38 runs, with 8 wickets in hand. 43 overs remaining today and if they could get to a lead of 200-220, then we may be staring at a possibility of an innings defeat here. Paul Stirling is currently having a strike rate of 95, and these two batsmen are scoring runs at a brisk pace.

The Irish batsmen are looking comfortable against the pacers (Broad/Woakes/Stone), as well as against the spinners (Stone/Ali). Curran was the only bowler who looked confident.

4. West Indies: Test Debut in 1928, First win in 1930 after 5th test Match

I think Sri Lanka had to wait a decade or something to get the taste of a Test win.

Srilanka got test status at 1981 and played their 1st test in 1982 against England. After more than 3 years, they won their first test against India.

Bangladesh got the test status at 2000 and played their first test at 2000, but won the first test in 2005 against Zimbabwe, after 5 years.
I'm not sure which team took the maximum time to win a test.

@erikalui You mixing up ODI and Test Match? Roll Eyes

It's just a first day and Ireland playing his first inning in this test. We have second inning as well for England and Ireland, so the match is not going to finish today if Ireland reach the 85 runs target Tongue

Oh yeah, I forgot about second innings too. So after they get 85, they'll continue to play till they all get out. Then England bat to chase the runs (if any) and/or put runs on the board and Ireland again chase. Am I right? Last I saw a test match was in 2014 where England were playing with a score of 500+ against India I guess. :-P

Luck played a big factor for England when they won the world cup and that luck did not translate here in this test match against non test playing nation Cheesy

Since this is a test match Ireland has the opportunity to post a huge total in their first innings and then put pressure on the English batsmen and try to send them packing again and win the test match, it all depends upon how much runs Ireland can score in their first innings.

If it was even AFG, I would understand but not Ireland lol. This looks like their second ever test match after getting test status in 2017-18.

Back to the current test, Ireland just lost their first wicket. 32 for 1 now. Although this is not a high profile match but since it's turning out to be an upset match, people will triggered to gamble and the bookies will make good money.

What's wrong with England batsman? I didn't watch the match at all, just checked the score. How they score 85 only against Ireland?
Ireland is so far in good position. Will it be the first one for Ireland?

I can't believe that the commentators also are making fun of England winning the WC Cheesy

Looks like everyone is disappointed with their win.

So looks like today they'll finish the test match then as only 85 to chase although England bowlers would be desperate for a wicket. 25 for 0 and just 60 remaining to chase. England getting trashed badly.

Btw when it comes to Test cricket, for some games even 5 days are not enough Cheesy

. sharing some interesting story.

Time Less Test Match

Quote

Friday, 3 March 1939
Today marks the anniversary of the longest cricket test match in history. The game was played between South Africa and England in Durban. The game continued until the 14 March - 9 days in total. England needed 41 runs to win at the close of the 9th day, but the match was drawn because the English players had to leave to catch their boat back to England.

Due to the draw result, and the length of this match, it is often referred to as the 'timeless' test, and the only one of its kind in history.

Its all end Ireland done great job just 23.4 overs and All England team bundled out for 85 runs just 3 players reach double figure now we have to watch how Ireland batting line up give response because if they able to do some good score then surely its going to be historic win for them.

LOL you should be knowing that it happens with you always. Stop making post if you are supporting England :-P

Jokes aside, honestly speaking it's a shame for England. First international match after (who cares the format) they became world champion and they are performing their worst against a team who are not a regular test playing country (Come on guys, can anyone confirm when Ireland got test status LOL).

Speechless bud, speechless. Never ever thought to see England in this position against any team.

Quote

Is this even salvageable for England at this point? I understand that it's very early in the test, but thats one of the worst scores I can remember seeing for a first innings!

Well three more wickets and then the first inning wraps up. Ireland will have two full innings and entire time of this test match. If they can manage good score in the first inning then in the 2nd inning whatever English scores it will be easier for them to chase. There won't be much run to chase for them.

I do not think England will score 400+ runs in the 2nd innings, looking at the performance in this innings of course.

Edit: Another gone! 8 down now!
