**Official** Ireland in England 2019

[Uppercut]

A lot of life in this pitch right noe

It's not actually doing as much as I feared. Broad bowling very well though.

Ireland need one 100+ partnership. Can't see where it's coming from.

What are with these weird Husain soundbites

 

[Spintolose]

The Irish bar is rockin'.

We don't even, made 207 in the first innings without one. Bat deep too, but that might not help- if it's too difficult for Porterfield and Balbirnie it's likely too difficult for the rest.

 

[Groundking]

Lovely from Woakes.

During the rain break they picked their England side for the first Ashes test. Nasser refused to pick any openers because he said there was no way of justifying any selection.

 

[Jarquis]

Roll them for less than 85 pls.

 

[Spintolose]

Brumrahhhhhhhhh!

I'm surprised that Holding didn't say it shouldn't have been out because it would have been 'umpire's call' ?

 

[GotSpin]

England been really lucky with the weather tbh

Yeah but funny things happen in 4th innings chases with wickets falling in a heap. Even if Ireland got to 140/4 from here, England would likely still be favorites. Once two guys get in, they need to finish the job, or get within 10-20 runs of the target.

 

[Groundking]

Woakes is so good at Lords.

 

[Meridio]

Well, it was nice while it lasted.

 

[Spintolose]

85 looking a long way off. ?

[vcs]

Oh well, this isn't happening.

 

[Groundking]

So so good from Woakes today.

 

[Spintolose]

Umpiring is a disgrace.

 

[Cabinet96]

Surprised neither of those were umpires call tbh

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lame
