London, July 24:  <\/strong>Ireland, led by Tim Murtagh's maiden five-for, stunned the cricketing world as England was bowled out for a paltry 85 in the first innings of the only Test match here at Lord's, where a little more than a week ago, the hosts lifted the 50-over World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

London-born pacer Murtagh, 37, returned spectacular figures of 5\/13 in nine overs as Mark Adair (3\/32) and Boyd Rankin (2\/5), who became the first player in over seven decades to play Test cricket for and against England, supported him well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

This was Murtagh's 14th first-class five-for at Lord's - but the first to get him on the honours board.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

For England, who won the toss and elected to bat on a wicket which had carry and seam movement, Joe Denly top-scored with 23 while 25-year old fast bowler Olly Stone played an entertaining 18-ball 19, his cameo laced with four good looking boundaries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

England, who got past New Zealand on more number of boundaries hit in the rip-roaring final on July 14 where both the match and the Super Over ended in ties, had five World Cup winners in their ranks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But together, all of them failed collectively as the Irish ran riot at lunch on Day 1 of the four-day affair.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Ireland were at it from the word go with Adair having debutant Jason Roy plumb in front in the second over itself, only for the umpire to call it a no ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Roy, who had a brilliant World Cup, could not make the most of the reprieve, getting caught by Paul Stirling at first slip off Murtagh for 5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Joe Denly looked good for his 23 off 28 balls (4x4) but Adair trapped him in front with a delivery that shaped back beautifully into his pads on a tight line.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Rory Burns (6) was caught behind by wicketkeeper Gary Wilson off Murtagh and England could never recover from there with skipper Joe Root falling for just 2, lbw by Adair.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The five World Cup winners in the England team managed just seven runs among them as Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes all failed to trouble the scorers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Ali's wicket was Murtagh's fifer as he and his Ireland teammates rejoiced their finest day yet in Test cricket. Sam Curran scored a quickfire 18 before Rankin got his back. In the end, Jack Leach remained not out on 1 as veteran pacer Stuart Broad (3) also failed to make the most of his batting skills.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Brief scores: England 1st innings 85 all out in 23.4 overs; Joe Denly 23, Tim Murtagh 5\/13, Mark Adair 3\/32) vs Ireland
