Ire 146-6published at 41 overs
Lead by 61 runs
An under edge from Kevin O'Brien hustles past his stumps and rolls down towards third man, and Jack Leach cuts it off to limit Ireland to two runs.
There are an awful lot of people on the England balcony - head coach, bowling coach, batting coach, fielding coach, keeping coach...

Broad 15-5-33-2
Two day Test match, anyone?
Stuart Broad rips a beauty past Mark Adair's off stump, the ball swinging up the slope, before Adair awkwardly hoicks a short ball through short leg for two.

BBC Test Match Special statisticianThe numbers six and seven batsmen today have got four ducks between them - Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes, and Gary Wilson and Stuart Thompson. That is the first time it has happened in a Test.

Jimmy Anderson is strolling around the outfield and getting a massive cheer as he goes.
Here's Mark Adair.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialThat was just the one. There are two types of leave - and unfortunately for Thompson that was a bad one.

Out leaving the ball!
Oh, this is never a good look. It's a straight delivery from Stuart Broad and Stuart Thompson hoicks both his arms above his head to let it swing by him. Unfortunately for Thompson, it's absolutely cannoned into his stumps.

Not a bad way to get your first Test wicket, is it?

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialOlly Stone is just starting to turn this game back into England's favour. Ireland are still well ahead, but if England can bowl Ireland out tonight - for under 200 - you'd think England can bat themselves back into this game.

Stone 8-2-19-2
Kevin O'Brien scored a century against Pakistan in Ireland's inaugural Test in 2018, and he scored one of the best one-day centuries you could hope to see against England in the 2011 World Cup.
He contents himself with a push through mid-wicket for a couple off Olly Stone, before Stone nips another past his outside edge. Good little contest, this, Stone cranking up to 88mph

Here's how Stuart Broad broke that profitable 87-run partnership.
Ire 139-5published at 38 overs
Lead by 54 runs
Kevin O'Briwen clips Stuart Broad for a single off his pads, before Stuart Thompson defends his way through the rest of the over.
Ooft. The last delivery from Broad keeps low and it cuts Thompson in half as he gets squared up in defence.

Been in meetings all day & only just seen the score. What's all the fuss about? Couple of quick wickets and we're well on top, then let our batsmen do their job when we get in for our first innings.

Stuart Thompson has come out to join Kevin O'Brien - and there's a half-shout for lbw first up!
Stone aborts his appeal, and he gets a nice ovation from the crowd as he collects his cap from the umpire.

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialThat is a good catch because it goes sharp to Joe Root at first slip. This is advantage to having a bowler with a bit of pace in your attack - it's very tough for new batsmen to face them when they get on a roll.

Wilson c Root b Stone 0 (Ire 138-5)
Two in the over for Olly Stone!
Oh, a bit of extra pace has done for Gary Wilson. This is back of a length from Olly Stone and it just rises on Wilson, who is groping forwards with the bat. A thick outside edge flies up into the air and Joe Root, who dropped a chance earlier, does well to take a catch to his left.
Well then!

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialHere we go. That is sharp. Gary Wilson does well to get the ball down in the end.
Ire 138-4published at 36.2 overs
Andy Balbirnie's 55, incidentally, came from 69 balls, with ten fours.
Oh, hello! Olly Stone welcomes Gary Wilson with a short delivery that rises and rises, steepling up to Wilson's throat, and he does well to drop bat on it and get it down to the ground.
