How Andy McBrine denied himself a chance at a Test century to protect injured teammate
In the Lord’s Test match against England, Andy McBrine let go of a chance to score a likely Test hundred to protect his injured Ireland teammate James McCollum.
Stuart Broad (5-51) left Ireland in tatters at 19-3 on the first morning after Ben Stokes opted to bowl. Opener James McCollum outlasted his teammates in the top order before being fifth out for 36, the highest score in Ireland’s 172.
England then hammered away at 6.33 an over before declaring on 524-4 – with a lead of 352 – riding on Ben Duckett’s 178-ball 182 and Ollie Pope’s 208-ball 205.
