    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    That was hit ferociously hard. Leach's hand on it really did save the umpire there.

  2. Ire 53-3

    McCollum 20, Stirling 23

    You're in, Dave.

    Paul Stirling, meanwhile, has almost cleaned up Jack Leach and the umpire with one biffing drive. I don't think the powerful Irishman is going to block against the spinner.

    Dave Foot: Body Parts XI - can I play?

  4. Ire 52-3

    McCollum 20, Stirling 22

    There was a bit of swagger in this shot from James McCollum a little earlier...

  5. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    That is a very pure shot from Paul Stirling, just using the pace to guide the ball beautifully.

    He is a very important player for Ireland in this situation.

  6. Ire 51-3

    Shot!

    Paul Stirling strikes back-to-back boundaries off debutant seamer Josh Tongue. The second is a lovely guide through point.

    Stirling has played a lot here for Middlesex.

  7. Ire 43-3

    Opener James McCollum has a Test average of 15 but his first-class record is a more healthy 39.12. Every now and again he looks like he's going to get his pad in the way when batting against Jack Leach.

  8. Ire 41-3

    Shot of the day so far!

    With a flourish James McCollum drives Tongue for four on the rise.

    The bowler will still be licking his lips to see shots like that. Sorry...

  9. Alison Mitchell
    Cricket commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    It looks like it might have clipped his trouser pocket but it nipped down the hill quite drastically.

  10. Not out

    Move on.

    The ball flicked James McCollum's pocket rather than bat.

  11. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    It's a beautiful delivery. It pretty much chopped McCollum in half.

  12. England review

    Woooft! That's a ripper from Josh Tongue. The slip cordon is appealing for caught behind but there was nothing from the debutant.

    Oh! Ben Stokes fancies another look.

  13. Ire 36-3

    This is Stuart Broad's pitchmap so far.

    The orange dots are the wicket deliveries so there isn't a particular length that has brought the England seamer more success so far. One has been just short of a length, another was bang on a good length and another just sneaking into the full zone.

  14. Alison Mitchell
    Cricket commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    You can sense that Paul Stirling is itching to attack Jack Leach here...

  15. Ire 33-3

    McCollum 12, Stirling 11

    Tidy from Leach to get us going again after lunch with Jonny Bairstow chirping away behind the stumps.

  16. Just joining us? Stuart Broad has taken all three wickets so far...

  17. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Josh Tongue looks a handy bowler, from what we have seen so far. He's bowling at around 87-88mph and that's what England have picked him for.

  18. Ire 32-3

    More good stuff from Josh Tongue - his second maiden from two overs. He nudges 88mph and the final delivery zips off the pitch to beat James McCollum with the bounce. Bairstow takes the ball in front of his face.

    The umpire waves drinks onto the field.

  19. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    Only once since 1954 has a spinner bowled earlier in the first innings of a Lord's Test match than this, and that was Shakib Al Hasan in 2010.

  20. Ire 32-3

    Six runs come from Leach's first over.

    Paul Stirling is onto 10 now. He could have been out first ball...
