- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 gone, slower ball brings the breakthrough. Looks to drive over mid-off, I think, but the ball isn't quite full enough, and the lack of pace undoes him. The ball goes high up in the air, off the high part of the bat, and Stirling settles nicely under it at mid-off 91/113.6 Hume cuts short Talukdar's innings at 67. Respite for Ireland. Nice and full and homing in at off stump, not sure if it was the offcutter but it came slow off the pitch for Talukdar who swings to the leg side and does not lay bat on ball. Timber. Replays indicate that it was seam-up and not the cutter 154/310.2 Shanto charges at Tector who brings this in with the angle from round the stumps this time and finds some turn. He drags his length back even further seeing Shanto dash out of the crease. Beats him in the air and has him stumped as Shanto swings and misses 118/216.1 Adair comes back and tricks Shamim with his slower variation. Grippy offcutter, Adair takes it away from Shamim, who was backing away. Shamim is forced into reaching out for the ball and carving a simple catch to Stirling at extra-cover 172/418.6 Holes out to Delany at sweeper cover. Hridoy gives himself some room, Young goes for the wide yorker, marginally misses his length, but this is still a hard-to-hit delivery. Hridoy can only slice it to the outfielder 201/5Extras12 (b 4, lb 1, w 7)TOTAL207/5 (19.2 Overs, RR: 10.7)Fall of wickets: 1-91 (Litton Das, 7.1 ov), 2-118 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 10.2 ov), 3-154 (Rony Talukdar, 13.6 ov), 4-172 (Shamim Hossain, 16.1 ov), 5-201 (Towhid Hridoy, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 Taskin puts it on a heavy length and hits the top of off stump. Taskin cranks it up to 141ks once again and cramps Stirling on the pull/slog. Stirling misses but Taskin hits his target and celebrates once again 40/32.4 follows up the 110ks slower one with a 139ks yorker. Adair backs away and aims to crash it through the off side, but Hasan hits the blockhole and the stumps. Top delivery from Hasan 32/13.1 Taskin strikes first ball and the camera immediately pans out to Allan Donald. He would be proud of this delivery. Yorked him. Tucker stepped out and yorked himself. Taskin hits the blockhole and the middle stump 37/27.1 slower ball, floats into off stump. Mehidy Hasan has pulled off a stunning catch at deep backward square leg. He dives forward in the outfield and plucks it inches from the ground. Tector has walked off. Back-of-the-hand variation from Taskin, Tector has to go for the big hit but he holes out. Fourth wicket for Taskin 72/53.5 carved into the lap of deep third. Taskin strikes thrice in his first over. Goes for the yorker once again, just misses his mark, but still gets a wicket. Dockrell makes room and slashes this from a middle-stump line to deep third 40/4Extras9 (lb 6, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL81/5 (8 Overs, RR: 10.12)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Ross Adair, 2.4 ov), 2-37 (Lorcan Tucker, 3.1 ov), 3-40 (Paul Stirling, 3.4 ov), 4-40 (George Dockrell, 3.5 ov), 5-72 (Harry Tector, 7.1 ov)
