Michael Vaughan
Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialIf the pitches are like this and the ball continues to behave like this, then I think we will be seeing a lot of Steve Smith in the next few weeks.

Ha! In the slot from Broad and Mark Adair clubs it T20-style over mid-wicket for four.
He follows it with a gloriously timed late-cut down to third man for another boundary.
Stokes hangs his head in frustration. Broad certainly won't like that...

Others on the list include Chris Gayle and Mohammad Azharuddin. Kapil Dev is the quickest, taking just 35 balls.

Jack Leach's line is all over the place. As I say that, he draws an appeal as McBrine is struck on the pad but he's charged a long way down the pitch, so there's no review.
McBrine's dab past the slips brings three runs and the 100 partnership between this pair.
Great effort.

Rich Harle: Don't understand England's tactics here. If Leach bowls like this for the rest of the summer, he'll be smashed out of the attack in a matter of overs. Broad bowling well but not really threatening. Not sure what the plan is.

Back-to-back!
Stuart Broad drifts one down the leg-side and gifts Adair four more to fine leg, followed by some width outside off that he flashes down to third man!
Ben Stokes rubs his chin in frustration.
England's lead is now less than 100.

BBC Test Match SpecialWhat a way to get your fifty!
50 for Mark Adairpublished at 60.2 overs
Ire 251-6
An upper cut over the keeper's head to get to your first Test 50!
Not a bad way to do it.
Well batted, Mark Adair. He moves to 53 from just 47 balls.

He got his foot to the pitch of the ball and absolutely nailed it through the off side.
Ire 247-6published at 60 overs
Mark Adair dabs a single into the leg side to move to 49 before Andy McBrine climbs into another half-volley from Leach and dispatches it to the boundary.
Any top order batter would be proud of that one.
Ire 242-6published at 59 overs
Broad responds with a beauty that just nips past the outside edge and draws a loud 'ooooh' from Jonny Bairstow, who has been particularly chirpy during this Test match.
He's clearly delighted to be back.

Former England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialNot a lot of pace from Stuart Broad. Mark Adair saw it early and had all the time in the world.
Well played.
Ire 241-6published at 58.1 overs
A short ball from Stuart Broad sits up so nicely for the batter that it's practically begging to be hit for four.
And Mark Adair obliges. He's on to 47 from 39.

McBrine responds with a glorious cover drive for four. That's a contender for shot of the day.
He then drills one straight back at Leach's outstretched right hand that goes for four. There may have been a fingertip on it but it would be very harsh to call it a drop.
It was travelling like a rocket.

Oooh! McBrine survives on umpire's call on impact.
That was closer than we thought.
