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.

14.1 Ireland 36 - 9 Andy McBrine 0 Tim Murtagh 0 (c Root b Broad 0)
WICKET!
This will be over by lunch at this rate. Irish chances squandered and hopes demolished. Broad gets his fourth, brushing an edge out to Root who comfortably catches. Another duck.
14.3 Ireland 36 - 9 Boyd Rankin 0 Tim Murtagh 0
Boyd Rankin in at 11. England need 1 wicket to win.
15.1 Ireland 38 - 9 Boyd Rankin 0 Tim Murtagh 2
Murtagh is off and running after taking a big swing to off side. Manages to get 2 runs.
15.4 Ireland 38 ALL OUT! (Murtagh b Woakes 2)
WICKET!
It's all over for Ireland as they are skittled for 38 and England win by 143 runs. Woakes has his sixth and Ireland have capitulated. The lowest Test total of all time at Lord’s behind the 47 achieved by New Zealand in 1958.
