England's Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett struck record-breaking centuries and debutant Josh Tongue picked up his first wickets as the hosts took complete control of their warm-up test against Ireland on the second day at Lord's on Friday.
Trailing by 352, Ireland slumped to 18-2 and reached 97-3 at stumps as Tongue took all three wickets and finished with figures of 3-27. The Worcestershire quick then had Paul Stirling caught down the leg side. Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker held firm but Ireland were still 255 runs behind at the close.
England started the day on 152-1, trailing Ireland by 20 runs, and left-hander Duckett set the tone for the morning and afternoon sessions by cutting the first ball for a four.
