That is all from us on the second day of this historic first Test in Northern Ireland.

It was a mixed day for Ireland, after a bright start it was a tough second session where they lost six wickets.

They recovered well in the last session after a couple of rain delays and have a 28-run lead ahead of the third game tomorrow.
