Second Day of Test Match.

I shall not waste a great deal of my time writing about this shambles from England's batting.
With a single wicket remaining - incredibly, they are looking down the barrel of defeat. Why so?

Unprofessional batting! They approached the game as if it were a T20 - bats wildly waving all over the place. Wickets fell like raindrops as technique was totally absent.
Does Jason Roy not grasp that the primary function of a test batsmen is NOT TO GIVE AWAY YOUR WICKET? Certainly few of his more experienced teammates were any better!

I fully expect England to lose this match in shameful fashion. However if the weather becomes cloudy and damp - perhaps, maybe the England seamers will be able to find enough movement through the air and off the seam to bowl Ireland out for a low total.

We shall see.
