England and Ireland face off tonight Day 1 of the stand alone test

Hoping England bat first could be carnage and 500 scored in the day

First test of a massive English summer, I'm keen as! Forecast in London looks good for the next four days (it's a four day test match).

Apologies if this has been covered already. This Test against Ireland goes from 1st to 4th June. Doesn't the Test Match Championship start on 6th June, also at Lords. What pitch are they using for the Australia v India game?

WTC is at The Oval starting on 7th

Easier for the ICC to set up their sponsorship deals at The Oval than at Lords apparently...

Thanks for that .... I'll pay more attention in future

Ireland 3/23

Broad has all three

and promptly gets removed from the attack

[The Dark Knight]

Read a stat about Duckett and Simon Doull was talking about it on the boadcast, since his return to the test team while batting he has left the ball eight times in 605 balls. Shows his intent to get bat on ball, maybe the Australian bowlers can exploit that?

He also has the highest score by an English opener since December 2017 (Cook 244* at the MCG).

[locky801]

Duckett gone for 182, 2/365

[locky801]

All the wicket being taken has done is accelerate the scoring

Eng 2/485

Pope 193* off 196

Root 38* off 45

Great batting to watch

[locky801]

2/503 at tea

Pope 197* (scored 100 that session i believe)

Cannot wait to see Baz Ball against us.

It will be interesting to see how this goes. Cummins and Hazelwood are very strong consistent bowlers. It will be interesting as there has been some talk about the small boundaries and flat pitches.

Flat pitches would remove there advantage of us not handling seaming decks well.
