6.10pm A berth in the final was already set up, but Bangladesh have been switched on all day. Yes, they saw Ireland put up stiff resistance courtesy Paul Stirling's century, but once they got past him, they tied the hosts into knots quite expertly. Abu Jayed's five-for should settle any doubts - if ever, they exist - while Liton's form after he replaced the rested Soumya Sakar should enthuse the team management. Tamim was his usual self, but they will be concerned with Shakib's side strain that forced him to retire hurt. Perhaps it's not serious and just a precautionary move, but surely the entire country will be a tad worried until they get an update from the physio.
Thanks for joining us on the coverage. Hope to see you for the grand finale. Until then, this is Shashank Kishore saying goodbye on behalf of Sreshth Shah and Venkat Raghav. Cheers
