After all the excitement of the one day squad's Cricket World Cup triumph, it's back to work (and back to Lord's) for England with a one-off Test match against Ireland. It's all set up for an intriguing match-up, and one you'll not need miss a moment of, – no matter where you are in the world – thanks to our England vs Ireland live stream guide below.
With the Ashes almost upon us, the game will likely be used as an opportunity for fringe players and debutants to state their case in front of England's selectors. However, they'll be up against an Irish side who'll be bang up for getting their first win in a Test against their opponents.
While England will likely be fielding something of a second string side, everyone on show will have a point to prove. Among those will be World Cup hero Jason Roy who has bagged his first Test match call up and will be looking to stake a claim for an opening spot against Australia.
With World Cup stars Ben Stokes and Joe Buttler rested and Jofra Archer and Mark Wood both out injured, there's a chance to shine for new faces like Somerset all-rounder Lewis Gregory and Warwickshire fast bowler Olly Stone.
The match will only be Ireland's third ever Test, following on from defeats against Pakistan (by 5 wickets) and Afghanistan (by 7 wickets). A result for the visitors would be a massive shock, but don't be surprised if pacemen Tim Murtagh, Boyd Rankin plus 19-year-old fast bowler Joshua Little make it more of a challenge than the hosts will have wanted.
