England cricket team meet Theresa May at Downing Street after winning World Cup

Relive all the action as Ireland haplessly chased a famous victory over England at Lord's.

Jack Leach's 92 as a nightwatchman appeared to have England on course to right the wrong of Wednesday's 85 all out but yet another middle order collapse had Ireland on the verge of a monumental win in just their third Test match.

Chris Woakes and Stuart Broad were sensational with the ball though to prevent humiliation for the hosts in preparation for the Ashes.
