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 ... ! ...
GH Dockrell b Mohammad Saifuddin 4 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 80.00
MR Adair hit wicket b Mohammad Saifuddin 11 (7b 0x4 1x6) SR: 157.14
Can Saifuddin finish the over well?
Sahil : "can't understand what they are trying to do by not giving Rubel Hussain his full quota of overs." -- World Cup experimentation, perhaps?
Jon: "Wahid Quayum: Except it isn't Jayed's debut?!" -- yep, made his debut against WI earlier this series
Can Ireland get 10 more runs and touch 300? Saifuddin to bowl.
