Cricket: Ireland still in the hunt to pull off one of cricket’s biggest upsets

An improbable career-best knock of 92 from nightwatchman Jack Leach underpinned England’s fightback against Ireland at Lord’s but the visitors remained in the hunt for one of Test cricket’s biggest upsets.

England ended day two of the inaugural Specsavers Test between the neighbouring nations on 303 for nine - a lead of 181 - after lightning and rain brought an early end to proceedings.
