Lunch Ireland 211 for 7 (Tucker 56*, Neill 24*, Taijul 3-64, Murad 2-34) trail Bangladesh 476 (Litton 128, Mushfiqur 106, McBrine 6-109) by 265 runs

A 5.5 magnitude earthquake stopped play for a while at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on the third morning of the second Test match between Bangladesh and Ireland.

The players and match officials gathered near the pitch for about three minutes during the 56th over, at around 10.38am local time. Many people ran out of the stadium, including those in the five-storey media centre. Play resumed shortly afterwards, though people took time to return to their seats.

The game itself was eventful, which ended with Ireland at 211 for 7, with Lorcan Tucker unbeaten on 56 and Jordan Neill not out on 24. Bangladesh took two wickets in the session.

Ireland started brightly in the Mirpur haze, with Tucker and debutant Stephen Doheny striking regular boundaries. Tucker started with lovely cover drives off Ebadot Hossain and Taijul Islam, while Doheny struck Hasan Murad for successive fours before Tucker slammed two more in the following overs.

Shortly after the pause in play, Taijul bowled a superb delivery, tossed up and hitting off stump, to remove Doheny. He made 46 off 77 balls with four boundaries. One ball later, Andy McBrine was gone for a duck, with Taijul producing one that zipped into the left-hand batter's off stump.

Neill peeled off consecutive boundaries off Taijul before getting two more off Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Murad towards the end of the session.

Bangladesh had earlier set up a large total, thanks to centuries from Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim. Litton top scored with 128 off 192 balls, with eight fours and four sixes. Mushfiqur's 106 was a more circumspect effort, justifiable given the weight of expectations in what is his 100th Test. He struck five sixes in his 214-ball stay.

Bangladesh also put together three consecutive century partnerships, 107, 108 and 123, for the fourth, fifth and sixth wickets respectively.

These formed the backbone of their innings, although they faced pushback from the Ireland spinners towards the end. McBrine took his second six-wicket haul, while Matthew Humphreys and debutant Gavin Hoey picked up two each.
