5.35pm Thanks, KK. Hello, again, everyone. All the covers have been peeled off. Big chase for Ireland coming up. If Ireland are to have a proper crack at this, then stand-in skipper Stirling has to tee off. Campher wasn't needed with the ball today, but how about bumping him up the order? He smashed 75* off 49 balls from No.5 in the tour match in Sylhet earlier this month and was also with Chattogram for the recent BPL.

5.30pm You have ten minutes in which to grab snacks and beverages and ready yourselves for the chase. Deiva will be here very soon to bring you all the action.

5.20pm The umpires are walking around the ground briskly, surveying, pointing, gesturing. The covers are off and the super soppers are at work. I have a feeling we might see some action soon.

Well, guess what. We will see some action. Play will resume at 5.40pm. Ireland's target is 104 in eight overs.

5.12pm No real updates just yet, but the umpires are in intense conversation with Chandika Hathurusingha. The cut-off for a five-over chase, in case you missed our earlier update, is 5.48pm.

Isam tells us that a light drizzle has begun after there had been a slight lull.

5.03pm Aaaaaaaand... the covers are coming back on now. Cricket is just like life, episode 4908674492546351738562416453434333. The umpires are out in the middle, discussing things, looking skywards etc. Some of the players, meanwhile, are warming up on the outfield. What does any of this mean? Stay tuned to find out.

5.00pm The covers are going off in Chattogram. The groundstaff are busy trying to clear the outfield.

4.40pm We're no closer to knowing when - and IF - there'll be a restart, but here are a couple of potential DLS targets: 125 in 10 overs, and 69 in 5 overs.

Aman Abrar: "As the players cool down on this subdued encounter, it evokes memory back to one meeting between the sides that was far from gloomy.A city bustling with cricketing frenzy in the midst of a packed sunny Friday afternoon at SBNCS hosted Bangladesh's second game of the 2011 CWC. From the roars following Tamim's blade slicing Rankin and Botha to Ashraful's comedic dances- it's reveling to see how far a nation's cricket has come as once beating Ireland was a celebrated feat."

4.30pm We're hearing that the cut-off time to start a five-over chase is 5.48pm local time. Let's hope the ground situation improves by then.

Aziz Ullah: "It's completely sun shining in Dhaka! Go awaaaaaaayyy rain from CTG! "

4.20pm The covers are still on in Chattogram, and the lights have begun taking effect. The rain hasn't stopped yet.

3.55pm It is now confirmed that this is the end of the Bangladesh innings. The target for Ireland will be assessed now on DLS. Isam reports that there is still some light rain around, meaning the covers are still on.

3.37pm The rain has got heavier, forcing the players and officials off the field. The covers are being brought in. This is already Bangladesh's third-highest total in T20Is. Mohammad Isam, our weather expert Bangladesh correspondent, reckons that the weather will clear up shortly. Do stick with us.

Sunny R: "After the thunder from the Bangladeshi batters, now rains come in!"

Khan: "The slower balls seemed to be gripping quiet nicely on this pitch. I think Ireland gave away atleast 20 more runs than they would have liked. The rain might make things interesting though if play continues"

Mehidy has joined Shakib for the last over

Shakib in at No.6
