| 2.5 : 2.5: Stuart Broad to Peter Moor, FOUR! Lovely shot! Stuart Broad goes a bit too full, outside off. Moor eases it past mid off and it races into the fence. |

| 4.2 : 4.2: Stuart Broad to Peter Moor, OUT! LBW! That looked out and Moor is not going to review! This is full and slanting on middle, nips a bit more in.

Andy Balbirnie has a tame push at it but gets an outside edge right in-between first slip and second slip. Zak Crawley was standing at the latter side, he dives and grabs with both hands. He did well as the ball was dying and probably wouldn't had carry to Joe Root at first slip. England with a bright start. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: Stuart Broad to Harry Tector, OUT! GONE! Tector goes now! He falls into the trap! Even Stuart Broad can't believe it. This is on a length and around off, Tector takes a stepforward and gets across the help it down on the leg side. He gets an inside edge straight in the hands of Matthew Potts at leg slip. A widish one. This is really good from Ben Stokes and Stuart Broad. |

| 11.1: Jack Leach to Paul Stirling, FOUR! JUST OVER! Full and on off, Paul Stirling steps across and sweeps, a bit aerially and just over the man at square leg. |

| 30.4 : 30.4: Stuart Broad to James McCollum, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! McCollum's stay is over and Stuart Broad has his fourth! This is full and around off, this one holds its line. McCollum was trying to play the swing and ends up getting the outside edge to first slip where Joe Root holds onto it. |
| 32.5 : 32.5: Stuart Broad to Curtis Campher, FOUR! IN the gap! Full and outside off, Campher looks to defend but gets an outside edge, which stays low and bounces in front of the man at first slip. Joe Root fails to get a hand on it. Four. |
| 35.1 : 35.1: Jack Leach to Lorcan Tucker, OUT! LBW! A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Tucker takes the review this time. UltraEdge shows nothing on it. Onto the Ball Tracking now, it shows umpire's call on wickets hitting. Out it is! Tossed up, around off. Tucker tries to sweep as he gets inside the line of the ball but misses and gets hit on the pads. Ben Stokes has kept the field up, tempting the batters to go big but the bowlers are bowling well to trap them. |
| 36.6 : 36.6: Stuart Broad to Curtis Campher, FOUR! Stuart Broad overpitches it, outside off. Curtis Campher creams it through covers and finds the fence. Good shot. |

| 43.3 : 43.3: Matthew Potts to Andy McBrine, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! This time it is out! Matthew Potts serves it full and just around off. McBrine is tempted to drive but gets an outside edge to the keeper who gobbles it up. Matthew Potts gets his first now. England continue to chip in. |
| 44.1 : 44.1: Josh Tongue to Curtis Campher, FOUR! This is short and on middle and leg. Campher looks to pull but top edges it over the keeper and to fine leg. The man from third man runs across and dives but it evades him. Four. |
| 47.4 : 47.4: Stuart Broad to Curtis Campher, FOUR! Tickled nice and fine! On the pads, Curtis Campher works it fine past the keeper and this one races away to the fence. 150 up for England. r |

| 55.3 : 55.3: Jack Leach to Curtis Campher, OUT! TIMBER! The last recognized batter is out of here. Jack Leach has his third! Curtis Campher runs out of patience. He steps out, does not get to the pitch of it and swings. He misses and the ball hits the stumps. He showed good resilliance but his side needed him to play on. |
| 56.2 : 56.2: Matthew Potts to Fionn Hand, OUT! TAKEN! Matthew Potts has the last wicket! Length and on off, this one lands and comes back in. Fionn Hand looks to put bat on ball but it takes the inside edge and goes to the left of the keeper who dives and takes it. IRELAND HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 172! |
| 0.2 : 0.2: Mark Adair to Zak Crawley, FOUR! Cut away! Shorter and outside off, Zak Crawley rocks back and plays it through point. Boundary. Nice way to get off the marl. |
