    BBC Test Match Special

    It might be doing Tongue a disservice to call that a drop. Paul Stirling hit it very, very hard. He barely had time to see it.

  2. dropped catch

    Ire 30-3

    Is this a drop? Paul Stirling sweeps Leach's first delivery hard and in the air. Josh Tongue is at square leg and the ball just flicks his fingertips high above his head.

  3. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    This is a very unusual bowling change. I think this is Ben Stokes setting a challenge for Paul Stirling.

  4. Hmmm. Jack Leach is coming on inside the first hour...

  5. Ire 26-3

    England's Josh Tongue prepares to bowlReuters

    Tongue has some sharp facial hair on his upper lip and around the chin. He's tall and with a high action seems to get decent bounce without being express in pace.

    McCollum plays and misses to the final delivery - an 85mph ball outside off stump.

  6. Ire 26-3

    It's a good start from Tongue. His second delivery reaches Jonny Bairstow at shoulder height.

  7. Ire 26-3

    McCollum 11, Stirling 5

    Stuart Broad is waving his arms - dictating something from his fielding position. He's very much the senior man in this England XI.

    Here's a big moment... Josh Tongue is going to bowl for the first time for England.

  8. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    I have taken enough stick about me at Wembley at the weekend. But you can definitely hear it in my voice, so that's a great start.

  9. Ire 25-3

    Cooky is croaking his way through this stint, commenting as Paul Stirling flicks Broad off his pads to the boundary. That at least gets the scoreboard moving again for Ireland.

    Michael Conway: With Cook (Luton) and Vaughan (Sheffield Wednesday) both the worse for wear after playoff wins, we just need a Carlisle supporter in the TMS box for the full house...

  11. Ire 19-3

    You could make a good case that Matthew Potts is bowling better than Stuart Broad here but it's Broad who has 3-8 and Potts 0-11.

    This was Broad's third wicket - the plan coming together perfectly for England.

    Women's cricket edition: Alex Heart-ley, Dane van Knee-kerk.

    Rachel, Leeds

    Brian Brain would be an intelligent choice.

    Roger Williams

  13. This was the first wicket in that very eventful Broad over...

  14. Ire 19-3

    McCollum 9, Stirling 0

    Broad waves to the crowd at the end of the over. It's a double-wicket maiden and could have been a triple.

    Ireland are still in all sorts.

  15. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That just shows exactly what the Lord's slope does. You have got to get forward.

  16. Not out

    Wow.

    It's missing leg!

  17. "Clearly missing the bat," says the third ump.

    This looks out.

  18. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Stirling had to review it. Again, playing around that front pad. Was there a nick?

  19. Ireland review

    And another!

    Stuart Broad hits Paul Stirling's pad first up.

    Up goes the finger. Stirling reviews...

    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Ireland's Harry Tector looks dejected after being dismissed by England's Stuart BroadReuters

    Tector will be absolutely kicking himself.

    That was bold, he was taking a couple of steps towards Stuart Broad and just works it off his hip straight to the man! Those catches are always tricky because they come at you so quickly.

    Is that a bit of luck or is it a perfectly executed plan?
