England will have two debutants in their side when they take on Ireland in the only Test at Lord's.
Jason Roy is likely to partner Rory Burns at the top of the order while Olly Stone will be another debutant. Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer have been rested by the selectors but James Anderson will miss out due to an injury. Jack Leach and Moeen Ali are likely to be the two spinners.
England 85 all out!

Ireland's moment to make history
Like England, Ireland could also handover debut caps to two of their players.
Mark Adair and Craig Young are the two players in line for their Test debuts while Simi Singh has an outside chance of playing as well. Captain William Porterfield has decided not to announce the XI until the morning of the match. Ireland's side might seem inexperienced on the surface but they could turn up with a good performance.
Tim Murtagh has five wickets, Ireland have seven!

The weather is likely to be top-notch for the next few days in London. There is no rain expected during the next four days and it will be warm out there. The Lord's pitch has a green tinge to it and it will surely invite seamers to get something from the wicket especially with the new ball.
