Shame for Ireland but a good effort nevertheless.
Bluerover
Player Valuation: £60m
Despite the defeat, Ireland captain William Porterfield felt his side's performance proved they deserved their elevation to full-membership.
"The biggest thing was how we fought back in the second innings with the bat - that showed the character we have," said Porterfield.
"It's something that's been talked about during big occasions, World Cups. That's always been known to be there but Test cricket is Test cricket for a reason, it's there in the name, you did get tested and we were after the first innings.
"To get up to close to 350 showed what we've got in the changing room and the passion that we have for playing our cricket."

A good start for Lancashire : 156-2, 26 overs. Jennings 68, Vilas 40.
..watching the game on Sky and impressed with England ladies cricketer, Isa Guha in the commentary box.
Could be a good finish if Lancashire keep wickets in hand.

She does some matches summarising for TMS.
Jennings continuing his recent good form - 82. Currently 175-3, 29 overs.
..yep, watching it. Don’t put the mockers on.
Notts have been a very good one day side for some time, so lancs doing well here.
Nevermind... Should have got over the line though

Lancashire playing Durham at Old Trafford. Lancs won the toss, batting, and off to a good start : 50-0 off 6.5 overs. Looks like another good wicket.

Magnificent start for Lancashire : 173-0, 28 overs. Jennings (again) 72, Davies 99.
Davies now 100.

Lancashire rather stumbled to 314-7, Davies 147. Lost 4 wickets for 12 runs in the middle of the innings, but Clarke biffed 48 off 34 balls to nudge them over 300.
Was always going to be enough against a very poor Durham side. Can see them really struggling this season to be honest
