Former England captain on TMSI think Stuart Broad might have flicked his thigh pad.

Stuart Broad has camped on the back foot, prodding forward...
Has he got a nick on this?

BBC Test Match SpecialThe ball went a long way to the right of Gary Wilson so it didn't deviate away from the left-hander.
Ireland reviewpublished at 12:43 British Summer Time 24 July 2019
That's a superb grab from Gary Wilson, and he makes the T sign instantly!
Has Stuart Broad edged behind? I didn't hear anything, but it's going upstairs...

Boyd Rankin is testing Stuart Broad out with some short stuff, and Broad is playing it in much the way you'd imagine. Edgily.
In comes a short leg.

Tim Murtagh is going to take a well-earned breather.
Here's Boyd Rankin.

Any chance Sir Alastair Cook has his kit in the car?

If you got into cricket because of the World Cup final then, welcome! This is what it's usually like following England. Still good fun, mind.
Stuart Thompson continues and Sam Curran cuts hard at his first ball, but he can't beat the man at backward point.

Sam Curran, incidentally, is now England's second highest scorer in this innings, with an unbeaten 12.
The players are taking drinks. Gin for England.

BBC Sport at Lord'sIt was on this ground in 2012 that Andrew Strauss played his last Test, opening with Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott batting three. So, you could say England haven't had a stable top three for seven years. Or, if you prefer, the last time England's top three was nailed on, the London Olympics had only just finished, Alex Ferguson was still Manchester United manager and Sam Curran was only 14.

Alastair Cook
Former England captain on TMSEngland's left-handers should be able to stay back in their crease, let the ball from Tim Murtagh swing and play it late under their eyes.
But he's so canny at finding ways to draw them forward.

S Curran 12, Broad 3
It's a quiet England balcony by teh looks of things. Batting coach Graeme Thorpe is in conversation with Jason Roy, while Trevor Bayliss is sat in the middle, watching the game. Joe Denly and Joe Root are to the side, looking a little... sheepish.
Stuart Broad goes up and over cover in the least convincing fashion imaginable, but he gets a couple of runs for his troubles.

Tim Murtagh needed roughly one hour to take five wickets and put England into a right state.

Alastair Cook
Former England captain on TMSWhen you face bowling at 75mph that moves, you still want to go at it because it's slow.
But you need to have the skill to play it later, under your eyes.
Eng 56-7published at 16 overs
Run rate 3.5
Stuart Broad scampers a single to get himself off the mark.
All well and good, but he's going to have to face Tim Murtagh...
