England fielded a fledgling side after completing a series whitewash over India [ Images ] at the Oval on Monday.

Only Morgan and Ravi Bopara [ Images ], who replaced the injured Trott, played in the fourth Test.

Kevin O'Brien, whose 113 from 63 balls propelled Ireland to victory in Bangalore, hit consecutive sixes off debutant leg-spinner Scott Borthwick, but his dismissal for 26 spelt the end of Irish hopes of another upset.
