BAN vs IRE, One-Off Test, Day 3 Highlights

!
For Bangladesh, it all started brilliantly courtesy Shakib Al Hasan and Taijul Islam but on Day 3, it was hard work for their bowlers. Not sure if the wicket got easier or what but they were made to work hard for their wickets. Taijul Islam was the pick with a four-fer but he was well supported by Ebadot Hossain too. Overall, Bangladesh will be disappointed to let the visitors off the hook but they will still feel they are on top in this game. The hosts will back themselves to chase this down. Join us for the reply in a bit.

Ireland will be disappointed that they could not take their lead to over the 150-run mark but will be very pleased with the fight they have shown. After being down and out at the end of Day 2, an innings defeat looked for sure for the visitors but the likes of Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector and Andy McBrine showed a lot of grit and forged a fight back. Tucker was the highlight as he ended up scoring a ton but the other two played important innings too. The three have given their bowlers something to bowl at. We do not feel it will be enough but one just never knows.

Bangladesh have made quick work of the two wickets they had to take this morning! They stated off with two spinners but quickly moved to pace and it was Ebadot Hossain who did the trick for them. He got both the wickets and have kept Ireland's lead to below 150, 137 to be precise and Bangladesh now need 138 to win the only Test between the two sides.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Ebadot Hossain has his second for today and third in this innings and he ends the Ireland innings. THEY ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 292! This is on a length and outside off, Hume could have left that alone but due to the around the wicket angle, pokes at it, it goes off the outside edge and Litton Das takes it.
