2.14pm Two terrific innings - one from the effervescent Paul Stirling and the experienced William Porterfield - have lifted Ireland to a great total. The wickets column doesn't do justice to the way Ireland batted. The wickets came only because of Ireland's late charge to a total in excess of 300. Abu Jayed's five-wicket haul the only positive for Bangladesh. We'll be back in 40 or so minutes with the second innings. Enjoy the break, and let's hope Malahide Clontarf stays dry when we return.

Sivaguru: "When senior bowlers didn't get any wicket junior stood up at the right time and backed them up."

Reza: "Well played Ireland... Well Played Bangladesh ... ! ... Game on for both team ... ! ...

Mohammad Saifuddin to Dockrell, OUT, bowled around his legs! Full on middle, and Dockrell exposes his stumps trying to play another paddle. Ball crashes into middle stump and Saifuddin bowls a tidy over to end the innings. Ireland finish on 292 for 8

GH Dockrell b Mohammad Saifuddin 4 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 80.00

Mohammad Saifuddin to McCarthy, 1 run, full toss on middle, and he tries to paddle it past fine leg. Deft touch down the leg side but the keeper dives across to intercept

Mohammad Saifuddin to Adair, OUT, hit wicket! Full, just outside off, and the attempted drive through the off side is missed. But Adair is so deep in his crease that he chops off stump with his bat

MR Adair hit wicket b Mohammad Saifuddin 11 (7b 0x4 1x6) SR: 157.14

Can Saifuddin finish the over well?

Mohammad Saifuddin to Adair, no run, full and wide outside off, but inside the tramlines! Terrific ball. Tidy three balls so far

Sahil : "can't understand what they are trying to do by not giving Rubel Hussain his full quota of overs." -- World Cup experimentation, perhaps?

Mohammad Saifuddin to Dockrell, 1 run, nearly a yorker, full toss on middle, and hammered over the bowler's head. Protection in the deep though

Jon: "Wahid Quayum: Except it isn't Jayed's debut?!" -- yep, made his debut against WI earlier this series
