- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 an appeal for lbw and it's given. Balbirnie wants to review it. It was another full ball by Mahmud that jagged back in sharply and also kept a touch low to beat the inside edge and hit the back leg. There is a big spike on UltraEdge as the ball passed the bat but there's a huge gap between the two, so the umpire goes with the visual evidence. 'There's no way the ball could have hit the bat there,' he says. The impact is umpire's call - it was just around off stump but there was no doubt that it would have hit the stumps. Balbirnie walks without opening his account 0/126.3 Bangladesh finally hold one. It was bowled at 146.9kph, on a good length outside off stump. Stirling pushed at it with hard hands, getting a thick outside edge to second slip at a around chest height and Shadman made no mistake this time 96/243.2 Carmichael has chipped it in the air, and it is taken by the slip fielder! But, wait a minute, the umpire is unmoved! Miraz bowls a fuller length ball around middle-off, and Carmichael goes for the reverse sweep. This time, he fails to connect! The ball brushes off his arm and chips up in the air behind the keeper. Shanto, positioned at first slip, moved right, corrected himself, and then swiftly moved toward his left to take a diving low catch. Shanto sends it upstairs. And we go upstairs for the Ultra Edge. There's a murmur on the Ultra Edge as the ball passes the top splice of the bat, and the third umpire instructs the on-field umpire to reverse the original decision. The catch is taken cleanly, and Carmichael's brilliant debut innings has finally come to an end! 150/427.5 an appeal for lbw that soon transformed into a plead. But the umpire is unmoved. Bangladesh want to review it. It was a full ball around off. Tector was looking to work it on the leg side but his bat got stuck behind his front pad and the ball hit him in front of off stump and would have gone on to hit leg stump. Bangladesh have two in two 97/363.3 An excellent catch at first slip and Murad has his maiden Test wicket. He tossed it up around, inviting Campher for a big hit. He went hard and got an outside edge that flew towards Shanto, who held it with both hands 203/567.4 The Bangladesh players are celebrating but Tucker is unsure what happened. Was a length ball that pitched around middle and turned past the outside edge to beat the bat. Tucker had dragged his feet out of the crease and was duly stumped 218/672.5 McBrine runs out of patience. Charges down the ground to this length ball outside off and looks to hit it towards midwicket. He misses and the ball sneaks through the gap between the bat and the pad. The keeper collects it and breaks the stumps 222/789.6 Massive appeal, and the finger goes up at last! And Taijul has struck in the very last ball of the day. It was a quick, good-length delivery angling into the middle-leg. As Neill defended off the front foot, the ball skidded through the daylight gap between bat and pad, hitting his front pad right in front of the stumps. It looked absolutely plumb to me. Neill still opted to send it upstairs, with a disappointed look, but Ultra Edge confirmed no bat was involved, and ball tracking showed all three reds and hitting the middle stump. Bangladesh finished the day with massive smiles and applause from the dugout. That will be Stumps on Day 1. 270/8Extras9 (lb 4, w 5)TOTAL270/8 (90 Overs, RR: 3)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Andy Balbirnie, 0.4 ov), 2-96 (Paul Stirling, 26.3 ov), 3-97 (Harry Tector, 27.5 ov), 4-150 (Cade Carmichael, 43.2 ov), 5-203 (Curtis Campher, 63.3 ov), 6-218 (Lorcan Tucker, 67.4 ov), 7-222 (Andy McBrine, 72.5 ov), 8-270 (Jordan Neill, 89.6 ov)
