[R] Retain only those records from a dataframe that exist in another dataframe

Dear R community,

I have two dataframes "first" and "second" which share a unique identifier.

I wish to make a new dataframe "third" retaining only the rows in
"first" which also occur in "second".

I have tried using merge but can't seem to figure it out. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Mark
