All is not well for

at the moment. They might have won maiden World Cup but it seems that they forgot to play like world champions while taking on Ireland in a Test match.

Vaughan blasts England batting performance.[/caption] England batsmen literally had no clue to hunker themselves at the crease as Ireland bowlers ripped through the defences of the opposition with such ease. It is really a pity that England couldn't even notch up three figures against a team that is playing only its third test match. Ireland already played two matches- one against

and

and they lost both of them. Ireland’s London-born seam bowler Tim Murtagh shot into fame after he bowled with subtle bowling variations of good line and length. His hard work reaped rewards as he claimed five wickets to his name giving away just 13 runs 13 in nine superb overs. England couldn't last long on the pitch as they batted just 23.4 overs, bowled out before lunch session on the first morning of a Lord’s test for the first time in their history. England were 122 runs behind as Ireland made 207 on the first day. “When the ball does anything you shut your eyes and hope England get through it,” Michael Vaughan told the BBC’s Test Match Special. “There were some good balls but there was also some timid play and poor strokes. Let’s be honest, it’s an embarrassment — you’re at the home of cricket, in a test against Ireland and you’re all out for 85, there is no other word to describe it.” However, England managed to get themselves back on track by scoring 303 for the loss of 9 wickets. Rain played spoilsport during the second day of the third session.
