- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 Breakthrough! That was a poor delivery. Pitched up but well outside off, and Litton's slash went straight to Dockrell at deep point. That ball didn't deserve a wicket, but it's exactly the sort of start Ireland would have wanted (and not just in this game). 9/13.5 Number three in the powerplay. That's quicker, pitched up, and Talukdar plays that straight to the fielder at deep midwicket. Three down. 24/32.6 Caught at deep midwicket, and that's the second for Ireland. Pitched up from around the wicket, and Shanto's eyes lit up there, but he just couldn't connect with the slog sweep, and it's caught after a juggle at deep midwicket by Campher. 18/25.5 Gottim! Shorter, slightly slower through the air, Shakib pulls, and it's a dolly at midwicket. Another day, that might have sailed over the midwicket boundary for six, this time, it's out! Ireland are in this, and putting on a show. Did losing the toss cause all this? 41/46.3 That's another one. Pitched up. Turning away. Hridoy won't hold back, and swings, but he is nowhere near the ball, and that's gone up off the toe-end of the bat, and another dolly, this one at midwicket. 41/519.2 That's that! Shamim falls and Bangladesh are allout for 124! All seven bowlers used by Ireland have a wicket. Good length ball on the hips of Shamim, who gets across and helps it straight to deep backward square leg. Was a skimmer but was held well in the deep. 124/109.1 That's a first-ball wicket for Humphreys. No air. Aimed at the stumps. Almost a yorker as Rishad plays over the ball. And that's timber. What a start in T20Is for Humphreys! 61/69.3 In the aiiiir, and Taskin departs second ball! Wow, he does not hold back and today, Bangladesh are finding the fielders. On a length on off, he goes for the almighty slog sweep, does not get it anywhere close to the bat and deep midwicket settles under the catch comfortably. Second wicket in the over for Humphreys. 61/715.1 And gets a wicket first ball! What a soft dismissal! Nonchalant low full toss outside off, he looks to drive, instead slices it and ends up hitting it straight to extra cover. 94/816.5 Edged, taken and there goes wicket No. 9! Full-length ball on middle, Shoriful looks for an ungainly hoick, can only manage a thick outside edge and the keeper completes a very comfortable catch. Adair has his third and is pumped up. 104/9Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL124 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 6.41)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Litton Das, 1.1 ov), 2-18 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 2.6 ov), 3-24 (Rony Talukdar, 3.5 ov), 4-41 (Shakib Al Hasan, 5.5 ov), 5-41 (Towhid Hridoy, 6.3 ov), 6-61 (Rishad Hossain, 9.1 ov), 7-61 (Taskin Ahmed, 9.3 ov), 8-94 (Nasum Ahmed, 15.1 ov), 9-104 (Shoriful Islam, 16.5 ov), 10-124 (Shamim Hossain, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.1 High up in the air and held well at long on by Shanto! Rishad gets his maiden T20I wicket and what a wicket. Tossed up on off, Stirling looks to clear the ropes once again, but does not connect as well. The ball has more height than elevation as Shanto runs to his left from long-on and completes a good catch. Stirling falls for a stupendous 77! 109/32.4 Cleaned him up! Yorker. Bowled at pace at just under 140. Released with a tennis-player-like grunt. And that's hit timber, Adair playing all over it with his attempted hoick. 17/15.1 Wicket! Angled across Tucker, who only got an edge with his attempted whack over the covers. Dipping as it reaches Litton behind the stumps, but he gets down, and under, and clings on. 41/2Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL126/3 (14 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Ross Adair, 2.4 ov), 2-41 (Lorcan Tucker, 5.1 ov), 3-109 (Paul Stirling, 12.1 ov)
