@Chris-B having breakfast obviously!

[Chris B.]

@Paekakboyz Tied him up for a seven day breakfast? Poor old Gordon's going to have eaten a hell of a lot of pancakes, while he figured out how to get out of that basement!

[Siam]

@Chris-B cricket tournament in Thailand. Funny thing was he was late and people thought perhaps not coming. I was hungover to fuck at breakfast and couldn't talk hungover and sitting miles away from people. Big Gord arrives and sits at my table. Breakfast with a legend and couldn't actually speak.

God I wished @jegga was there to take over!

[Duluth]

[Duluth]

Chaos

42/5

[rotated]

Bairstow gone too - clean bowled.

[Higgins]

42 for 6 but England reviewing

[Duluth]

Haha 42/6

Woakes lbw

[Higgins]

Three LBWs so far, very reminiscent of the visiting team's scorecard in the days when there were not mutual umpires, particularly on the sub continent. One slight difference, all these three today have been utterly plumb.

[Higgins]

The rut continues, 43 for 7!

[Duluth]

I’ve only been watching since the 3rd wicket.

It’s not a minefield. The ball is swinging around a little and Ireland have bowled a good line.

[Higgins]

England have recovered to a certain extent to take the score to 67 for 9.

Using the slope as well. They're saying Murtagh has a few wickets here playing for Middlesex so he knows how to put it in the right areas.

[Higgins]

England do not get the chance to declare their first innings closed as they lose their last wicket to be all out for just 85 runs shortly before lunch after winning the toss and batting!

[JK]

Ireland goin well in comparison 45/1

England prob still win though due to hitting more boundaries

[Derm McCrum]

132-3 currently. Stirling and Balbirnie paired well - according to the experts. Stirling just went - lbw after 36. Kevin O'Brien comes out.

[Bovidae]

Told ya that England had used up all of their luck!
