Poms skittled for 85 in Test v. Ireland.
Amazing scores. England v. Ireland only Test.
England was bundled out for just 85, with Tim Murtagh taking 5/13 from 9 overs. Root, Ali, Woakes and Bairstow got 2runs between them.
Ireland now lead on the first innings, with 8 wickets in hand.

It's a game. Enjoy it.

Root has just got himself out!
England 7/239.
Reports say there is nothing "wrong" with the pitch. This is just pathetic batting. Root lasted long enough to have time to run out his batting partner, Denley.
Flat-track bully Bairstow's innings was "identical"* to his first one: a 6-ball duck.
(Flat-track bully Roy of course scored 72 more runs than he should have, but was dismissed in highly predictable manner, bowled through the gate.)
* Not identical in the fine print: out to a different bowler, and LBW this time instead of bowled.

The tail is wagging, or at least some parts of it.
England 9/295.
The lead is around what is thought to be difficult for Ireland. Ireland wouldn't want the last pair to add another 30+ runs.
On cricinfo, there is discussion about the captaincy. They want Root replaced by Stokes.
Do these Englishmen comprehend exactly what Stokes did in Bristol?
