  1. Maybe Australia will actually bowl too fast in the Ashes.

    What's Mark Ealham up to these days?

  2. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    That will lift any flagging English spirits out there.

  3. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It was loose. He has picked up two wickets - and he's not even swinging it. He's not bowling too fast, which is key in this match.

    WICKET

    McCollum b Curran 19 (Ire 45-2)

    Well perhaps that is the pressure of joining up dot balls telling.

    James McCollum tries an expansive drive to a ball that Sam Curran is bringing into the right-hander from round the wicket.

    The Ireland opener can only get an inside edge on it to chop it on to his own stumps.

    Curran strikes again. Can England get on a run here?

    Bob Hawkins: Thank you for everything Stuart Broad... but your time is up.

  6. Ire 45-1

    Broad 7-5-6-0

    Stuart Broad bowls a fifth maiden in seven overs. Still feels a bit too short and wide and too easy for the Ireland batsmen to leave.

    It could at least put some pressure on Ireland if England can dry up the scoring from both ends.

  7. Stuart Broad conceded just six runs from six overs in his opening spell but did not hit the right line and length often enough.

    He needs a good showing in this Test to be sure of his place for the Ashes opener.

    Can he make the breakthrough for England here?

    So England's Ashes prep is so precise they are even recreating the inevitable batting collapse and ensuing struggles to try and stay in the game! Now that is thorough preparation!

    If the ball doesn't swing for England, life becomes difficult.

  10. Ire 45-1

    Trail by 40

    James McCollum drives nicely down the ground but the ball is pulled up inside the rope for just a couple.

    Sam Curran strays onto the pads and McCollum whips it firmly round the corner for four.

    That takes Ireland past half of England's score for the loss of just one wicket.

    BBC Sport at Lord's

    The Lord's Test. Part cricket match, part garden party.

  12. England do not have a monopoly on poor shots...

  13. Ire 38-1

    Stone 4-1-11-0

    Olly Stone sends down a wide one outside off that James McCollum flashes at a bit recklessly and misses.

    A very tidy maiden over by Stone.

  14. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That was beautifully put away. No need to run.

  15. Ire 38-1

    Trail by 47

    Sam Curran pushes it wide and Andrew Balbirnie gets off the mark with a superb square drive for four. Bad ball, put away with aplomb.

    I still expect England to win from here. As long as they can restrict Ireland to 220 they are still in this game!

    Rich from Gloucester

  17. Ire 33-1

    Well bowled, Olly Stone.

    The England debutant gets the last ball of his third over between the inside edge of Andrew Balbirnie's bat and off stump.

  18. Ire 33-1

    Close! James McCollum inside edges Olly Stone onto his pads and just past the dive of Rory Burns at short leg.

  19. Niall O'Brien
    Former Ireland wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match Special

    Andrew Balbirnie is Ireland's best batsman.

  20. Ire 32-1

    New man Andrew Balbirnie plays out five dots to start.

    That's a wicket maiden for Sam Curran.
