    A wonderful delivery, zipping it up the slope and Andrew Balbirnie's eyes lit up with that vacant spot at mid-wicket but the late swing took it away.

    England are back in this contest.

    What a wonderful way to take your first Test wicket! That was a beauty.

    Balbirnie b Stone 55 (Ire 138-4)

    A first Test wicket for Olly Stone!

    Lovely, lovely stuff for the England debutant. Andy Balbirnie is playing across the line and his middle stump gets thwacked out of the ground as a result. That swung, but it swung late, and Balbirnie was through the shot too early. A fine knock comes to an end.

    Nothing to do with a World Cup hangover, England just aren't a good Test team.

  6. Ire 138-3published at 36 overs

    There's a hint of movement there for Stuart Broad, with Kevin O'Brien plonked on the back foot and defending consecutive deliveries back up the pitch.

    Oh, that's a glorious shot, though! Four to O'Brien with a flowing drive through the covers.

    England have focused on one-day cricket for the past four years. They changed personnel and plans accordingly.

    If they are honest, England need to rethink and come up with a plan for how they should play Test cricket.

  8. Ire 134-3published at 35 overs

    Lead by 49

    Olly Stone whistles down a couple of wayward bouncers than Kevin O'Brien tucks himself underneath, before he pops a single off his toes towards point.

    Andy Balbirnie lets the rest of the Stone over sail by.

    Is this performance today not just the price we have paid for World Cup glory?

    England need one of those Stuart Broad spells.

  11. Ire 133-3published at 34 overs

    Broad 12-5-26-1

    Kevin O'Brien swishes across his pad first up, but there's enough bat on ball to snaffle a single, before Andy Balbirnie lets the rest of the over swing past his off stump.

    Here's Kevin O'Brien.

    Broad has bowled especially well from the Nursery End.

    Stirling lbw Broad 36 (Ire 132-3)

    Umpire's call! Ooft.

    That's just clipping the top of leg stump, but it's enough to send Paul Stirling back to the dressing room.

  16. Postpublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 24 July 2019

    It's hit Paul Stirling high on his front pad...

    I thought I heard a harder sound than just pad. But I might well be wrong.

    CELEBRAPPEAL!

    Stuart Broad likes this lbw so much he hasn't bothered appealing towards the umpire. Paul Stirling sends it upstairs.
