Before I know the result, what a shame it had to come down to a silly finish.
Great game of proper cricket. Think given fact we were bowled out and those overthrows that NZ really deserve to win

Venue: Lord's Dates: 24-27 July Time: 11:00 BST
England v Ireland

Roy scored 443 runs as an opener in England's triumphant World Cup campaign, but is not a regular top-order batsman in red-ball cricket.

Somerset all-rounder Lewis Gregory has also been called up for the first time.

England's leading Test wicket-taker James Anderson is also included despite injuring his calf earlier in July.

Should he play, Roy is likely to open the batting with Surrey team-mate Rory Burns, who made his Test debut last winter.

Fast bowlers Mark Wood and Jofra Archer were not considered for selection because both players have left side strains.

Durham's Wood is expected to be out of action for four to six weeks after injuring himself in Sunday's World Cup final.

A number of England's World Cup winners rested for the one-off Test against Ireland have been included in a 16-man pre-Ashes training camp this weekend.

All-rounder Ben Stokes and wicketkeeper Jos Buttler will not feature at Lord's, while Archer will have a "period of rest" before being considered for Ashes selection.

England and Ireland have never faced each other in a Test.

It will be England's first red-ball match of the home summer, before the Ashes series against Australia begins on 1 August.

Very true Des, Simon Heffer column in today's Telegraph states exactly the same and unsuprisingly he points the finger at the ECB
