England vs Ireland cricket: Ireland post lowest score in Test at Lords as Chris Woakes stars
The visitors posted the seventh lowest total in Test match history
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.
