In the final session, Bangladesh did well and picked three wickets in the first half of the final session. However, just like we saw throughout the day, Ireland fought back and were on the verge of ending the day on a high but Jordan Neill fell on the final ball of the day and the hopes for a score around 300 lie solely on Barry McCarthy now. So, will the hosts take the remaining wickets in the first hour of Day 2? Or will the visitors take their total over 300? Join us tomorrow at 3.30 am GMT to find out, and a bit early for the build up of Day 2. Cheers!
Bangladesh fought back strongly in the second session, taking three wickets for 90 runs. Ireland, who started at 94/1, lost their key batters, Paul Stirling (60), and Cade Carmichael (59) was removed after a review, while Harry Tector fell for 1. Spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz was the best bowler of the second session with two wickets. Despite the setbacks, Curtis Campher and Lorcan Tucker survived the session to guide Ireland to the Tea break at 184/4.
That wicket on the final ball of the day proves how well Bangladesh have bowled today. Nonetheless, an evenly posied Day 1. Ireland dominated the opening session, reaching 94/1 at Lunch on Day 1 after winning the toss and electing to bat. Though Bangladesh struck early, dismissing captain Andy Balbirnie for a duck, they were let down by dropping three catches. Paul Stirling and debutant Cade Carmichael rebuilt the innings with a strong partnership, taking advantage of a good batting pitch and loose bowling to put Ireland in a strong position.

OUT! LBW! Tossed up on middle, angling in and straightens off. Jordan Neill tries to defend but gets beaten on the inside edge and gets hit on the pads. Bangladesh appeal and up goes the finger. Jordan Neill reviews but to no avail, as the Ball Tracking shows THREE REDS. Bangladesh end the day on a high. STUMPS!

Drama in the final ball of the game! Jordan Neill is adjudged LBW out and seems to be plumb as well. He has taken the review.
