- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.6 A tame end to a belligerent innings as Litton nicks off trying to reach out to a wide ball spinning way. Was slow on a length, landed outside off and got big away spin like the last ball. The legbreak had the batter reaching, he tried to muscle a cut but got a thin edge. Good take by the keeper. Litton has a wry smile as he leaves. 138/29.2 Tossed up outside off, it's whacked off the bottom of the bat and Adair takes it at long-on! Was overpitched around sixth, was there to launch it across. Talukdar gave it a good go but not enough timing. End of a belligerent innings and a 124-run stand. 124/116.5 Top edge off a cut that Hridoy wanted to muscle goes in the air, short third runs back and takes it. Ball was into the pitch, seemed like a slower one. Hridoy was on the charge and tried hit so hard, the bat almost had a whiplash. 199/3Extras11 (b 1, lb 2, w 8)TOTAL202/3 (17 Overs, RR: 11.88)Fall of wickets: 1-124 (Rony Talukdar, 9.2 ov), 2-138 (Litton Das, 11.6 ov), 3-199 (Towhid Hridoy, 16.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 Gone first ball! That's the perfect line, just outside off, pitched up, and moving away. Stirling hangs his bat out and gets the nick, and that's a stunning take behind the stumps, diving in front off first slip. 0/13.1 Flighted arm ball there. Completely fooled the batter there. That scooted through after pitching on a length, flicked the pads, and took out the stumps. Ireland in a mess here. 26/31.1 And he's bagged him with a slower delivery. Tucker seemed to have decided on the sweep well before Shakib released the ball. It came in slower through the air. Tucker was already on his knees before the ball arrived, and he could only lob it across to square leg for the simplest of catches. 7/25.6 Make that five! Arm ball there, pitching on a length, and going right under Tector's big swinging bat. Timber! 43/63.6 Another one gone! Shakib flights it up outside off, there's the bottom edge on the attempted bang over the covers, and Litton clings on. Sharp catch. What a day Shakib and Litton are gaving. 32/45.3 Reviewed. Is this No. 4 for Shakib? Dockrell is hit in the pads off this straight delivery from Shakib, and it looks like it's hitting middle and leg. No movement on Ultra Edge, hitting the stumps, and that's the fourth for Shakib. 42/514.6 Yorker knocks over the stumps, Taskin roars in celebration Campher cleared the front leg and had all his stumps exposed. Taskin went full and straight, may have swung in a bit to hit middle to send the bails flying. 116/910.2 Thick-sounding edge is taken by the keeper. Campher cleared his front leg a bit and tried to pummel it across but got an outside edge. Easy catch 74/712.3 Toe crusher hits the side of the boot, given lbw. Ireland review. Hand was standing still, the front foot straightened a bit, the back foot was facing cover point as he tried to drive the ball straight. Ball snuck past the inside edge and hit the outer-half of the back boot. Hawk-Eye predicts that it'd go on to clip leg stump. Review retained but decision stands. 86/8Extras4 (b 1, lb 2, w 1)TOTAL125/9 (17 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Paul Stirling, 0.1 ov), 2-7 (Lorcan Tucker, 1.1 ov), 3-26 (Ross Adair, 3.1 ov), 4-32 (Gareth Delany, 3.6 ov), 5-42 (George Dockrell, 5.3 ov), 6-43 (Harry Tector, 5.6 ov), 7-74 (Mark Adair, 10.2 ov), 8-86 (Fionn Hand, 12.3 ov), 9-116 (Curtis Campher, 14.6 ov)
