However, the wickets kept tumbling as the experience of England's fast bowling duo was too much for the visitors.

Opening batsman James McCollom top-scored with just 11 after a forgettable end to a match where Ireland started so well on Wednesday, bowling the hosts out for 85 on the first morning.

Tim Murtagh was the last man out as Ireland were whittled out in just 15.4 overs.

It was just Ireland's third ever Test match after defeats to Pakistan in May last year and Afghanistan in March.
