    What started out as disbelief among Ireland fans at what was happening has turned into belief at what they could do from here. They are well on top.

  2. Who should come out of retirement for England?

    Ronnie Irani, Darren Maddy, and Mark Alleyne still got their whites?

  3. Ire 100-2

    Balbirnie 32, Stirling 27

    Andrew Balbirnie rocks back and punches Jack Leach through point for four.

    Ireland clearly do not rate the slow left-armer and are getting after him.

    The 50 partnership is up and Ireland have now reached 100.

  4. Ire 94-2

    A very loose full toss from Jack Leach and Andrew Balbirnie lap sweeps it round the corner for four.

    A deft shot to a dreadful delivery.

  5. Ire 90-2

    Big appeal for lbw off the bowling of Jack Leach as Paul Stirling jabs down at his toes. Given as a run.

    At least work is providing me with a nice distraction from the cricket!

  7. It did dip but this should've been taken...

  8. Ire 89-2

    Lead by four

    Andrew Balbirnie has an exquisite square drive and uses it once again to dispatch Stuart Broad for four.

    Ireland lead.

  9. Eoin Morgan is in the stands, all smiles.

    He's got the right England team to lead.

  10. You don't want to let Paul Stirling get going, especially after dropping him...

  11. Ire 85-2

    Scores level

    A bit of turn for Jack Leach sees Paul Stirling edge it down to third man for a couple.

    Ireland have drawn level with England before tea on day one. What a world.

  12. Ire 83-2

    Paul Stirling cracks Jack Leach away through the covers for four. Ireland are just two behind England's score now.

    Sometimes Broad struggles to hide his emotions, but here he's not letting it show.

  14. 'England need Broad in the Ashes'

    Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on TMS

    You need Stuart Broad in that first Ashes Test - you need his experience. He has to stay strong here.

  15. Ire 79-2

    Trail by six

    Stuart Broad has not been at his best. But he should have had both of these Ireland batsmen back in the hutch now.

    How often does he create chances that are shelled? Seems to happen to him more often than most.

    He pitches the last up in search of that edge again but that's in the slot and Andrew Balbirnie caresses a lovely cover drive away for four.

    That will not improve Broad's mood.

  16. Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on TMS

    That dipped. Judging by Stuart Broad's reaction, he thinks that carried.

  17. Isa Guha
    Ex-England seamer on BBC Test Match Special

    Stuart Broad can't believe what is happening.

  18. dropped catch

    Stirling dropped on 17

    England are having a total mare.

    Joe Root definitely dropped this one - Stuart Broad finds the outside edge of Paul Stirling's bat, the ball dies on the England captain and he has to take it low.

    But he got there and the ball bobbled back out of his hands.

  19. Get Involved

    After the stampede to Irish embassies for passports in the wake of Brexit, someone better warn them that after today there may be second wave coming.

  20. Ire 72-2

    Balbirnie 14, Stirling 17

    Paul Stirling brings out three sweep shots in a row against Jack Leach and goes two, four, two.

    He's not going to let the slow left-armer settle.

    He taps the last for a single - that's nine off the over.
