And there goes number 6... Broad nails O'Brien in front... who trudges off without a thought of reviewing... smashing middle and leg.

Ireland 24-6 (10.1 overs) :clap2:

O'Brien lbw Broad 4 (Ire 24-6)

This is so out that Stuart Broad hasn't bothered to appeal.

Broad brings the celebrappeal out of his locker as he absolutely smashes a delivery into Kevin O'Brien's knee roll. This is as plumb as plumb can be, and O'Brien will have to walk off.

Indeed. He peeled away as if he'd uprooted his middle stump!

Leach's innings is looking even more astonishing with every passing wicket. When was the last time I wonder a nightswatchman has top scored in a 40 wicket test match?

I still don't think any innings comes close to Ashton Agar's 98 at Trent Bridge when he came in at #11 with the score at 117/9 and took them to 280 a.o.

Oh Broad, you only had to aim at the bloody stumps.

I don't understand why this is being said by so many people. Perhaps on day 5 in a low scoring affair but on a day 3 wicket I don't think it's particularly challenging.

Chortle.

Doesn't Woakes now have RIDICULOUS figures when Bowling at Lord's? They were merely excellent before the game as far as I recall.
