Sam: "We will get 10 minutes break or 30 minutes break now ?" The chase will resume around 5:20pm local time, so 30.
Shaan: "Shakib didn't bowl a single ball.. how many times it happened in ODI ?" third, confirms Mathew who's on fire with the stats today.
CK: "Is this the lowest total against Bangladesh?" Nope, it's 44 by Zimbabwe in 2009. The list includes only those games where the opposition was all out.
4:50pm: Sheer domination by Bangladesh's pacers, who have taken all the ten wickets of the innings in just 28.1 overs. Hasan Mahmud was brilliant, he took out the openers, Ireland's No. 4, Harry Tector, and the last two wickets to fall. Taskin was brilliant alongside him with the new ball, the footwork of the top three was minimal, and there was a lot of plays and misses before the dismissals. A mini-collapse of 3 for 4 in eight balls ended the first powerplay before Tucker and Campher showed some resistance. The weather was iffy but cleared up. Bangladesh's pacers brought back the heat along with the weather, Ebadot's toe-crusher pinned Tucker and knocked over Dockrell in successive balls. Taskin Ahmed joined the party before Hasan Mahmud returned to complete his five-for.

Bpagur : "@Iftekhar, hold your horses. anything can happen, don't think high." At the risk of being cocky, if having the opposition at 95 for 8 is not the time to let the unicorns fly, what is?!
