England skittled Ireland for seventh-lowest Test score of all-time to race to an intriguing 143-run victory in the one-off Test at Lord’s on Friday.

Set 182 for the historical victory, Ireland was wrapped up for just 38 in just 15.4 overs with Chris Woakes claiming his career best 6-17 and Stuart Broad taking 4-19.

And thereby Ireland's dream of pulling off one of the biggest shocks in the history of Test cricket by beating England at Lord's were shattered.

England was bundled out for 85 in the first session of the Test on day one but bounced back to an exciting victory. They were the first nation in 112 years to win a Test match despite being out such low total in first innings, which is the first lowest first innings total victory.

England also is the team to win a Test against Australia by 13 runs in 1886 despite being all out for 45 in first innings, which is the lowest first innings total in victory.

On a murky morning, Ireland made a dream start when Stuart Thompson ended England's second innings on 303 with the first ball of the day, clean bowling Olly Stone.

After a rain delay, Ireland, chasing 182 for victory, began in encouraging fashion, reaching 11 without loss, but the wheels fell off in dramatic fashion as they posted the lowest ever test innings total at Lord's.
