Ireland dig in after England seamer Stuart Broad rips through top order via IrishTimesSport
With overcast conditions and a green wicket at the Home of Cricket, it was no surprise when Ben Stokes put Ireland into bat after he won the toss.
Broad, with James Anderson and Ollie Robinson rested with the Ashes in mind, relished his chance to lead the bowling attack and made the breakthrough with the 26th ball of the morning. Better was to come from the Nottinghamshire seamer in his next over with Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie out for a five-ball duck after second slip Zak Crawley took an excellent low catch diving to his left.
A fine spell of three for 14 from five overs was still a pleasing start to the Ashes summer for Broad.
