This is a national disgrace, heads should roll. I'd be stripping Root of the captaincy if this is the best his team can do.

When do we bowl Ireland out though?
Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Chicken or mincemeat ?
Rejoice! A wicket 
Curran to Porterfield, OUT, flumped to midwicket on the pull! Curran strikes with his first ball, though it was a real loosener, plugged halfway down - only for Porterfield to miscue it straight to Leach for a simple catch at head height!

Curran to McCollum, OUT, bowled 'im, McCollum drags on! Curran the man again for England, finding the right pace for this deck, angled in from round the wicket and a thick inside edge cannons into the woodwork! He'd grafted for more than an hour, finally undone by something loose

Started again and hilariously Leach, the nightwatchman, is out scoring Burns...

strong and stable with me, or...
Leach facing the new ball needs 6 runs to outscore every every England player in this test match so far...

So Leach, our no.11 nightwatchman facing the new ball has out scored Burns x2 innings and Roy put together!!!

Not when he plays defensive strokes to wide deliveries with a Lara back lift.
Leach is the tailender Cook.

If I was Burns sat watching Leach approach a half century, I’d be writing my goodbye cards and wishing everyone well for The Ashes.
