Ireland all-rounder Andy McBrine was left stranded just 14 runs short of a Test match century against England at Lord's when number 11 Graham Hume was bowled by Stuart Broad.
And he sacrificed the opportunity to reach the landmark by urging opener James McCollum, who had been forced to retire hurt after suffering a severe ankle injury, not to try and bat again for the sake of his health.
England won the Test, which is a precursor to their highly-anticipated Ashes clash against Australia, by 10 wickets after bowling Ireland out for just 172 in their first innings and then declaring on 524-4 after Ben Duckett smashed 182 and Ollie Pope scored 205.
