George Sessions, PAStuart Broad got the ball rolling for England on the first day of their eagerly-anticipated Test summer with three wickets before Ireland regrouped to reach 78 for four at Lord’s. Broad ripped through the top order to reduce the tourists to 19 for three before a review overturned the decision to give Paul Stirling out lbw for a duck. 💥 Peter Moor goes for 10 and we have our first wicket (and celebrappeal) of the summer! A fine spell of three for 14 from five overs was still a pleasing start to the Ashes summer for Broad. McCollum, now joined by Ireland wicketkeeper Lorcan Tucker, survived some short bowling from Tongue and Potts before lunch to walk off unbeaten on 29 from 93 balls.
