BAN vs IRE, 1st Test, Day 1 Highlights
Just over 15 overs to go in the day and Bangladesh will aim for a wicket or two at least. Ireland on the other hand, will hope they can get through this tricky period without much damage. An interesting passage awaits.
It was the middle and the lower order which came to the fore for the hosts! They lost their top three early but Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim put up a brilliant side to turn the tide towards them. Shakib fell but Rahim continued. Along with Das, he took his side into the lead. Rahim got to his ton but Das missed out on a half ton. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan then paired up to forge another partnership. However, the last session saw wickets fall quickly for the home side. Mehidy Hasan though added a few handy runs with the tail to push that lead over the 150-run mark.
Ireland will be pretty pleased with the work they have put in, in this session so far. They needed to pick up wickets very quickly and Andy McBrine has stepped up for them. He was the star for them with the ball with a six-fer and he was well supported by White as the two were bowling in tandom. Despite those efforts though it is Bangladesh who are well, well ahead in the game. They have a lead of 155 and the way this wicket has stated playing, that seems to be a massive advantage.
OUT! STUMPED! There is the last wicket and it is Benjamin White who gets it. Mehidy Hasan falls. He steps out but the White shortens the length. Mehidy Hasan looks to defend as he does not get to the pitch of the ball. The ball though turns away and goes past the outside edge. The keeper does the rest. BANGLADESH HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 369!
