Ire 144-6published at 17 overs
Delany tries to duck under a short ball from Wood but is clunked on the helmet. But he's alright and able to run a bye from it as the ball somehow flies down to fine leg.
Another concussion check. The Mark Wood effect...
Ire 143-6published at 16.5 overs
Oh, nearly! Mark Adair upper-cuts one down to deep third but it just lands short of Chris Woakes, who makes a tumbling save.
But Gareth Delany thrashes the next ball past point for four.

He's absolutely essential to England.

Campher c Buttler b Wood 18 (Ire 138-6)
But Wood strikes back!
A short ball in response to being hit for four and Campher takes on the pull shot, only managing to edge it behind round the corner to a leaping Jos Buttler.
Ireland are squandering their brilliant start. Can they get back on it?

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialHow do you play that shot?
Ire 138-5published at 16.1 overs
So Curtis Campher was earlier smacked in the face by Mark Wood bowling 93mph.
And now he ramps him over his shoulder for four.
That is... something.

Ireland having a bit of a habit for losing wickets in quick succession.
They lost two in the space of three balls earlier, as well. Lorcan Tucker was particularly unlucky, though.
Ire 133-5published at 16 overs
Delany survives it - just!
A quicker ball from Livingstone nearly sneaks under the bat but he just about blocks it out.
Very good over from England's point of view.

Dockrell b Livingstone 0 (Ire 132-5)
Two in two! Liam Livingstone is on a hat-trick!
Pretty poor from George Dockrell. A standard full-length ball and he's just completely missed it.
Again Ireland lose two quick wickets and hand the momentum back to England. Frustration for them.

Balbirnie c Hales b Livingstone 62 (Ire 132-4)
England breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Balbirnie's magnificent innings comes to an end as he holes out to deep square.
He takes on the big square boundary, trying to sweep Livingstone, and despite timing it well it ends up safely in Alex Hales' grateful hands.

Curtis Campher joins the party.
A lovely ramp off Liam Livingstone trickles away for four.
Ire 127-3published at 15 overs
Curran responds well, just two runs coming from the last three balls.
Still concerns for England here with five overs to go. Balbirnie has upped the tempo again, making his way to 62 from 46 balls.

Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialThat's brilliant from Balbirnie. He danced down the wicket to the previous ball, forcing Curran to bowl short.
