Stone facing Thompson as the match continues mid way through the over cut off by thunder n lighning yesterday

hoping Stone n Broad can last 5 maybe10 overs & add another 20 or so to the total

Or not...................

Oh dear! Stone gone ... bowled first ball ... Ireland have to chase 181 ... 182 to win

Englands bowlers need to be at their best to win this

? We want to be bowling in these conditions surely? Bad light, lights on, cloudy - just what we need for wickets.

Short break to get themselves sorted out, then shred them! ?

 

[Sarge]

First wicket taken by Woakes ... 11-1 .... second taken by Broad ... 18-2 .... 7 overs in to Irelands 2nd innings

 

[Sarge]

Woakes gets his second wicket of this innings... 19-3 ... in the 8th over

 

[Sarge]

ouch ... Broad served up a bouncer , Irelands O Brien ducked into it

 

[Sarge]

2 more wickets for Woakes in the 10th over ..... one after review (out) , the other plum lbw ... 24-5

 

[Gary Baldi]

24-6. Not going well for Ireland is it?

Broads second wicket of the day ... lunch due at 2pm .... will Ireland last that long? its half an hour away

 

[Gary Baldi]

32-7...

 

[warksox]

Shame for Ireland but at least they've avoided getting the lowest ever test score (26).

 

[Sarge]

Broad's 3rd wicket in this innings .... 13 overs bowled .... Ireland remaining run chase is 150

32-7

 

[Gary Baldi]

36-8!

I'm not exactly sure what we can take from this match as far as the Ashes is concerned! Play like we did at the start and we'll be hammered. Play like we have in the second half and we will win every match (especially taking into account the warm up game the Aussies have just played).

36-9
