    Ireland go up for a rare lbw appeal as Pope is hit, I think of the thigh, by Curtis Campher. It looked high and maybe even outside the line.

    If you happened to just get an alert saying Ollie Pope is out you can rest easy. He's very much not out. Gremlins in the system, apparently. I'll have a word...

    Jed: England just whacking it about at 6, nearly 7 an over is joyous. Same Bazball. Different year.

    Yes it’s only the first day of the summer, yes “it’s only” Ireland, but it’s all good habits to get into ahead of the Ashes.

    There are 10 minutes left in the day.

    Ireland might just about still be in the lead at the end of the day.

    Want to see Ollie Pope doing his best Ian Bell impression?

    Good...

    Duckett 53, Pope 24

    Now here's a full toss from Curtis Campher. Ollie Pope slaps it away.

    Rubbish bowling.

    England are only 33 runs behind. They only started batting 90 minutes ago.

    You can't bowl there. Ollie Pope will put that to the boundary every time.

    Ollie Pope! I dream of one day being able to hit a cover drive like this.

    Caught and bowled Hand…. Am I missing something, or is it state the obvious day?

    All-rounder Curtis Campher comes one for his first bowl an immediately hurls the ball down the leg side for four byes. It could easily have been wides.

    Mark Adair is not having a good day. He's bowled seven overs for 59 runs and the batters just know that the bad balls are coming.

  11. Eng 126-1published at 20 overs

    Has Pope played this? It's a little guide down to third. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Four more but there's no doubt about the second one in the over.

    He clobbers Mark Adair who, again, bowls too short.

    This is how Zak Crawley met his downfall.

    It was a smart catch.

  13. Eng 117-1published at 19 overs

    Ollie Pope has just rocked up to the party, stepped right over the threshold and grabbed his first drink.

    He drives his first boundary through the covers, doing little to quieten the comparisons to Ian Bell.

  14. Eng 109-1published at 18 overs

    Duckett 51, Pope 0

    We've just had two maidens in a row!

    If there was any temptation for England to send in a nighthawk with 35 minutes to go in the day then they have resisted it. Ollie Pope stretches out his back before making his way to the middle.

    Relief for Ireland.

    That is a great catch because it is never easy taking them in your follow-through with the ball coming at you at such speed.

    Fionn Hand is delighted with himself! And rightly so, because that was brilliantly taken in the end after quite the juggling act.

    Crawley c&b Hand 56 (Eng 109-1)

    Gone this time! Fionn Hand spills one in his follow-through but recovers to take the catch one-handed at the second attempt.

    Zak Crawley's fun ends at 56 from 45 balls. A missed opportunity?

    It's a very important innings for Zak Crawley. A failure today would have made that noise around his position just that little bit louder.

    It hasn't all been good from Crawley but when it has been good it has been very good...
