ENG vs IRE, One-Off Test Day 1 Highlights: Ben Duckett’s dashing unbeaten fifty took England to within sight of a first-innings lead over Ireland on the opening day of their Ashes warm-up Test at Lord’s on Thursday. England were 152-1 in reply to Ireland’s 172 all out, a deficit of 30 runs, at stumps in a Test being played over four days rather than the standard five. Duckett, a left hander in his first Test innings in England, was 60 not out after a sunny afternoon at the ‘Home of Cricket’. Together with Zak Crawley (56), he shared an opening stand of 109. Crawley’s fifty came from a mere 39 balls and including 10 fours. At the close, Ollie Pope was 29 not out. Earlier, England veteran Stuart Broad took his first five-wicket haul in a Test at Lord’s for 10 years. (SCORECARD)
