  1. Ire 75-6

    Andy McBrine drills it to the boundary for four and adds a single as Ireland take five from Nathan Smith's over.

  2. Get Involved

    I can see Rob from Fairford’s point but if Ireland don’t play more Test matches, particularly against sides of the calibre of New Zealand, how can they learn and develop?

    Joshua, Kidderminster

  3. Ire 70-6

    A better over from Ireland off Blair Tickner. The highlight a cut shot for four from Andy McBrine.

  4. Get Involved

    Five wickets fall to balls on the stumps! Feels like a bit of a technique issue here. Too much short format hitting across the line?

    Richard, Kent

    At least Ireland have scored more than their 38 all out against England 7 years ago...

    Aaron, Abergavenny

  5. Ire 61-6

    Just the two runs for Ireland in that over from Nathan Smith.

  6. Get Involved

    Does anyone benefit from a Test match like this?

    Rob, Fairford

    I've tickets for tomorrow and was keeping my fingers crossed for good weather, now they're crossed hoping the game's not over by then...

    Iain, Belfast

    NZ were in a similar position… look where they got to, come on Ireland!!

    Andy McBrine hits a four to take Ireland to the 50 mark. He then adds a single as Ireland survive two overs without losing a wicket.

  10. Ire 45-6

    Mark Adair is back in the fray after missing the morning session and hits it straight down in the ground for four as Ireland get seven from Nathan Smith's over.

  11. Ire 38-6

    The end of another costly over for Ireland. The wickets are really tumbling at speed now.

    WICKET

    Tector lbw Foulkes 16 (Ire 38-6)

    Zak Foulkes claims a wicket now, trapping Harry Tector leg before.

    It's all falling apart for the hosts.

  13. Ire 34-5

    Wicket maiden for Nathan Smith and another really costly over for Ireland.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Tucker b Smith 0 (Ire 34-5)

    Nathan Smith claims a fifth wicket as Lorcan Tucker is bowled out.

    A disastrous start for Ireland and they are on the ropes at Stormont.

    WICKET

    Campher lbw Smith 0 (Ire 34-4)

    Curtis Campher follows Andy Balbirnie in making the walk back to the pavilion after a superb delivery from Nathan Smith hits in front of the stumps.

    A bad start to the afternoon for Ireland.

    Powerful strike through covers to bring in four for Harry Tector and he follows that up with an edge to get another four to try and get Ireland back on track.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Balbirnie b Smith 13 (Ire 26-3)

    A huge blow for Ireland as captain Andy Balbirnie sees his stumps flying from an excellent Nathan Smith delivery.

  18. Ire 20-2

    The teams are back out for the afternoon session, which is set to last two hours.

    Ireland will hope to build and steady the ship after a shaky start.

  19. Ire 20-2 - LUNCH

    Andy Balbirnie moves on to 10 as he fires past bowler Zak Foulkes for two and then collects another single.

    Harry Tector cracks away on the offside to add two more before hitting through gully for another couple of runs.

    Decent over for the Irish pair and it's lunch.

    Two wickets in the first over rocked Ireland - this experienced pair will now aim to lay the foundations for a competitive total in the afternoon session.

  20. Ire 12-2

    Andy Balbirnie cuts Nathan Smith through point for a typically elegant boundary before adding a single.

    Better from Ireland now as they look to rebuild.
