<p class="title">England captain Joe Root hailed his side's ability to perform under pressure after they bowled Ireland out for just 38 to win a dramatic Test at Lord's by 143 runs on Friday.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Chris Woakes took six wickets for 17 runs and Stuart Broad 4-19 in an Ireland second innings that lasted just 15.4 overs.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The visitors had been set a seemingly modest 182 to win on the third day of a match scheduled for a maximum of four days rather than the usual five allocated to a Test.</p>.<p class="bodytext">But they ended up being bowled out for the seventh-lowest total in Test history and lowest since 1955.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"I knew that was a lot of runs (to make) on that surface," said Root after wrapping up victory in the one-off Test.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"We found ourselves in a similar position at Edgbaston against India last year. I thought it was very important we stayed calm, asked the right questions, and that's exactly what we did today.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"It's very pleasing, the way we managed certain pressure situations throughout the games. It wasn't by any stretch the perfect game for us but sometimes that can be a really important part of your learning. We'll take a lot from this game."</p>.<p class="bodytext">Ireland captain William Porterfield said his side were particularly disappointed because they had put themselves in a position to win the game.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"We knew it was going to be tough with the lights on and drizzle in the air," he said.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"But we had to dig deep and get through that. Fair play to the two lads to how they bowled -- they made it difficult.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"If we had managed to get 50 or 70 more in the first innings, that turns it into a different chase today."</p>.<p class="bodytext">Man-of-the-match Jack Leach, who scored 92 not out in England's second innings, said: "Bowling three overs for 26 and I've got man of the match -- I didn't see that happening. I'm a number 11, but I found some form out there.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"Woakesey and Broady bowled brilliantly this morning. They put the ball in the right area and things seemed to happen. We got the win and that's the most important thing."</p>
