  1. Ire 190-8published at 55 overs

    Lead by 105 runs

    Audible groans at Lord's as Tim Murtagh doesn't smash this final ball for four.

    It's the first delivery Stuart Broad's actually bowled at the stumps, and Murtagh can only plop it towards mid-off.

  2. Ire 190-8published at 54.5 overs

    To give this some context, Tim Murtagh is basically stood at short leg to face all these deliveries.

    Oh, and he's smashed Stuart Broad for another four! Another huge heave through mid-wicket!

  3. Ire 186-8published at 54.4 overs

    Lead by 101

    Short, short, short from Stuart Broad, and Tim Murtagh swings and misses at everything.

    Oh, he's connected with that one, though! Flayed through mid-wicket for four! And the lead creeps over 100...

  4. Ire 182-8published at 54.1 overs

    Shot of the day!

    This is terrific from Tim Murtagh. He tries to duck out of the way of this Stuart Broad short ball, throwing his body back, but he keeps his bat in front of him and somehow manages to baseball-swing four away through mid-wicket.

  6. Ire 178-8published at 54 overs

    Lead by 93 runs

    Down the leg side goes Olly Stone, straying a little too hard as he tries to whistle down some short balls, and Kevin O'Brien works a couple of runs either side of the wicket.

    Olly Stone is coming back on to try and blast away the tail.

    David Wood: Graham Gooch should be brought out of retirement. Could have got a 10-fer in today's conditions.

  10. Ire 174-8published at 53 overs

    Lead by 89 runs

    A thick edge from Tim Murtagh, backing away and giving himself room, but his furious cut drops just short of Jason Roy at second slip.

    Murtagh backs away from his final ball and it somehow slides over the top of the stumps.

  11. Postpublished at 18:17 British Summer Time 24 July 2019

    Ireland's bowling hero Tim Murtagh has come out to bat.

    He'd been playing nicely - it just came back in on the angle and just flicked the leg bail. An annoying way to go.

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 52.4 overs

    McBrine b Broad 11 (Ire 174-8)

    Oh, hello, a wicket!

    Even Stuart Broad wasn't sure that this delivery had hit its mark. It's angled in from BRoad and Andy McBrine ends up inside edging it onto his stumps. It doesn't so much splatter the stumps as gently move the bail from leg stump and on to the floor.

  14. Ire 174-7published at 52.3 overs

    Another short ball tester from Stuart Broad but this one is more leg side, and Kevin O'Brien can hustle out of the way.

    He gets up in his toes to flick a leggy delivery away for a single.

    There has been only one draw in the past 32 Tests in England - and none in the past 18.

    Kevin O'Brien has had a bit of treatment and he's been patched up well enough to continue.

    He got in no real position to play that.

  18. ouch!

    Ire 173-7published at 52.1 overs

    Oh, that's hurt Kevin O'Brien.

    He gets into a bit of a tangle trying to face a Stuart Broad short ball and it's cracked first into his wrist and then into his rib, which is a horrid place to get hit. Out comes the physio.

    Wrong end or not, a very tidy maiden over from Moeen Ali.

    You wonder why Moeen is bowling at this end.
