5 lowest totals in Test cricket this decade

Ireland (38) v England, 2019

Chris Woakes' six-for saved England the blushes against Ireland

Lord’s, the home of cricket was all set to host an exciting contest. The newbies of Test cricket- Ireland took on a strong England XI. The cricket pundits termed the match a dress rehearsal for the upcoming Ashes but little did they know of what was to follow.

Tim Murtagh marked his name in the honors board with a five-for that rattled Joe Root’s men. Fresh from a World Cup win in the 50-over format, the Poms were in for a reality check as they were bowled out for 85.

Ireland, in reply, put on 207 runs on the board and managed to get the opposition out in just over 300 runs, setting themselves a target of 182. The upset was just around the corner but Chris Woakes saved England from the humiliation as the all-rounder returned with figures of 6/17. He was well supported from the other end in the face of Stuart Broad, who scalped four wickets to shoot down the inexperienced side for 38.
