Sri Lanka ended up winning by an innings and 10 runs after bowling out Ireland for 202 in their second innings.
With 5/174 from 58.3 innings in the first innings and 2/88 from 32 overs in the second Prabath Jayasuriya becomes the fastest spin bowler to 50 test wickets in just 7 matches.

Ireland's 492 in the first innings in Galle last week did set a new mark for the highest total by a side that went on to lose a Test by an innings. Previously it was England's 477 against India in Chennai in 2016-17 - India piled up 759 for 7 before declaring, and bowled England out again for 207.

There are only two higher totals in all first-class cricket that still weren't enough to avoid an innings defeat. In Northampton in 1995, Nottinghamshire made 527 (and 157), but still lost to Northamptonshire (781 for 7 declared). But that record was broken at Grace Road last July, when Leicestershire's 584 (and 183) was not enough to avoid an innings defeat by Glamorgan (795 for 5 declared).

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).

Stokes wins the toss and elects to bowl.

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?

Ireland 3/23

Broad has all three

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

[Senor Moto Gadili]

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