    25.1 McBrine does it again! The pressure buidling works for Ireland. The pressure-squeeze results in another wicket. Tossed up on a length outside off, Mahmudul is done with his defending. Charges down to go over mid-off. A few overs ago, he managed to just clear the man running back, not this time. The bat turns in his hands and the substitute Barry McCarthy has to take a few steps back to pouch it safely. No boundaries hit for 75 balls now and Bangladesh's opener lost his patience. Has cost his team a wicket, just what Ireland wanted 83/2
    13.4 Peach of a delivery! Ireland get their first breakthrough. Good length on middle with discernible spin, lunges forward to defend and misses it completely, gets hit on the front pad and it looked quite adjacent! Umpire adjudges it not out. Sent upstairs. Pitching outside off, impact is in line and it's hitting the leg-stump, excellent review and the decision has been reversed. That'll cheer up the Ireland team and fans alike! Some relief for them 52/1
    63.2 Is that it for Mominul? Ireland think so, the umpires want to have another look. Tossed up outside off, Mominul stretches forward to sweep it away again. But the ball wasn't as full as he perhaps expected. It goes off his inner edge, bounces off the front foot and nestles into Balbirnie's hands at second slip. Superb start to the session for Ireland, McBrine has his fourth as he breaks the 107-run partnership 202/4
    27.4 Castled! McBrine has the last laugh and he is on a celebration spree! After tossing up and getting hit for a six last ball, he fires it through on a length from outside off. Shanto goes back to defend but he does so anticipating the turn. There is a huge gap between bat and pad, the ball sneaks through past the inner edge and hits off stump. Ireland clawing back and how, all thanks to McBrine 95/3
    98.1 Edged and taken this time! Good length ball with a hint of turn on the probing channel, moves onto the back foot to negate the turn and bounce, pokes at it tentatively, and gets beaten by the extra bounce and outside edge, and Balbirnie grabs it with one hand, diving to his right side. The Irish skipper gets up straightaway and runs towards Mushfiqur Rahim to shake hands and give a pat on his back; Stirling and the other players join the skipper too. 310/5
    130.1 Litton goes for a massive swipe, and bites the dust! Bangladesh have been targeting quick runs lately, but another batter falls in that pursuit. Floated up full outside off. Litton aims to go over cow corner but is perhaps too early into the stroke. The ball flicks off the toe-end and Stirling, stood at slip, nonchalantly flings out his left mitt and makes it stick. It was not coming at much pace but a smart grab nevertheless. A top knock comes to an end and Bangladesh have lost both of their set batters in successive overs! 433/7
    129.4 another slice, and Hoey finally has his maiden Test wicket! Dangles the bait outside off on a fullish length. Mehidy wants to carve this over cover but is not to the pitch of the ball. The ball spins enough too, and Mehidy, going at it a little half-heartedly, slices it terribly. Simple catch for Carmichael at point, and Bangladesh are now six down! 433/6
    133.1 what a ripper! Beautifully-disguised and beautifully-bowled googly. Pitches on a length on middle stump and then spins away. Taijul has no clue this is the googly and he plays for the turn. Plays down the wrong line in the end and see his off stump pegged back soon after. Bangladesh eight down now, and Hoey has two wickets to show for his toil! 443/8
    137.3 McBrine's 2nd fifer in Test cricket! Tossed up a fuller length ball pitching outside off, Murad goes for the big slog sweep over midwicket, did not get enough elevation to clear the ropes, and struck it flat and hard. The sweeper fielder moves to his right side a few steps and holds on to it near the ropes. 468/9

    141.1 That looks plumb, and given! Good length ball with the arm darted on middle-off, plays down the wrong line and hits the back pad in front of the stumps. Loud appeal and the finger goes up straightaway. Khaled opts to review with a disappointing look. Ultra Edge confirmed no bat is involved. Ball tracking is coming up. All three reds and hitting the middle stump. 6th wicket for McBrine, and Bangladesh are bowled out for 476 runs. 476/10

    18.3 Hasan Murad strikes! Good length ball on the stumps deviates slightly and just enough to beat the full face of the bat of Balbirnie, a thick inside edge, and onto the pads. The ball ricochets off the front pad and is caught straightforwardly by the Bangladesh skipper at first slip. Massive appeal, and the umpire is convinced, too. 63/2
    10.3 not a big shout from the bowler, but Illingworth raises his finger! In-ducker, starting just outside off and then shaping back in on a fullish length. Stirling walks down the track and then misses his flick to get struck right in front. This looks a lot more adjacent than the lbw that was given against Balbirnie, but Stirling wants to review nevertheless. A review in vain, though. Because Ball Tracking has the ball thudding into leg stump. Three reds, and Stirling has to go! 41/1
    25.5 Carmichael has been struggling for quite some time, and this time he has to depart! A slightly quicker ball kept a bit low on middle-leg, Carmichael clears his front leg and tries to squeeze the ball across the line, misses the line and length there, and thuds the back pad in front of the stumps. The tendency of dragging the ball across the line has finally cost him his wicket. He takes the review, though. And no bat is involved, confirmed by the Ultra Edge. All three reds on ball tracking, hitting the middle-leg stump. Ireland lose their third wicket and their second review too. 79/3
    33.1 Length ball with a sharp turn, kept low and thuds the back pad. Tector bends down as he plays off the back foot and misses the line and length there. Loud and enthusiastic appeal convinced the umpire. Tector opts to review immediately. Was there any bat involved? Nah, Ultra Edge confirms a flat line as the ball passes the bat. Pitching and impact are in line, and just clipping the off stump with the turn. Tector looks quite disappointed, and he has to go back to the dugout now. 94/5
    26.5 clean bowled! A peach of a delivery from Murad, pitching it up front on the stumps and turning away from the batter. Campher plays the front foot defense for the arm ball, but this one sneaks past the bat and hits the off stump. Murad is pumped up, and so is the crowd. 84/4

    58.1 That's an absolute ripper! Tossed up on a length and it slides across off, he tries to follow the path as the ball curls away and ends up seeing the off-stump getting disturbed. That seemed unplayable and Taijul is over the moon, elated and punches the air in ecstasy. Breaks the 81-run stand! Doheny had no clue about it 175/6
    58.3 he's hungry for wickets and looks to have him on toast, McBrine goes tentatively searching for the line and the ball spins in viciously, sneaking through the defence and clattering the middle-stump! Getting prodigious turn and hitting the right areas with unerring accuracy! Another pealer of a delivery! The ball didn't bounce much as he was drawn forward to defend and left a big gap between bat and pad 175/7
    82.4 Neill bites the dust and has to depart on 49! Banged in short pitched ball outside the off stump line, caught in two minds whether to hit the ball or shoulder arms, cramped for space, and failed to move away from the line of the ball. Neill places the outside part of the bat inside the line of the ball, strikes the leading edge, and Mominul grabs a sitter at the cover area. A brilliant innings; he missed out on his fifty by just one run. 249/8
    85.3 faint edge, massive appeal and given! Hard length ball straightens just enough after hitting the deck on the probing channel around the off stump line, plays off the front foot and outside edges to the wicketkeeper behind the stumps, tickles off the sticker part area. A loud and confident appeal from the bowling team, and a straightforward decision from the umpire, too. 256/9
    88.3 And that's the end of Ireland's innings! Looped up fuller length ball in the slot, Humphreys tries to be cheeky there. He goes for the reverse sweep and failed to find the gap or clear the in-field, strikes a flat catch towards backward point and Ebadot Hossain grabs a stunning catch diving to his right side. Taijul Islam is now level with Shakib Al Hasan on 246 Test wickets. 265/10

    31.1 Two slips in place. Over the wicket, lobbed up and attacks the stumps, late on coming forward and getting behind the line, pinned in front and adjudicated lbw by the umpire! Played down the wrong line and the appeal was prolonged and convincing. Joy decides against taking the review after a little chat and is taking the walk back to the pavilion. Ireland have something to rejoice for, can they pick up a few more before stumps? 119/1
    40.2 Soft appeal and the finger goes up! Good length ball on the stumps angling in, kept a bit low on middle-off, Shadman misjudged the length of the ball and moved onto the back foot, squared himself up, and hit the back pad in front of the stumps. Ireland didn't even bother to appeal with great enthusiasm there; that was plumb! 173/2
    68.6 Soft dismissal! Zips it quicker and angled on middle and off, he thrashes it straight to the man at silly mid-off and the signal from the Bangladesh camp is to declare! 297/4
    41.1 Neill gets his first Test wicket! Short pitched ball darted on around the fifth stump channel, with an extra bounce off the pitch and deceived Shanto completely as he attempted to defend off the back foot, clipping the outside part of the bat and a straightforward catch for Balbirnie at the gully position. You just can't do anything about those deliveries! 174/3

    5.6 Zips it quicker on a length and it goes on with the arm. Subtle variation in pace gobsmacked him as he failed to tuck it off his pads and looks pretty adjacent. Prolonged appeal for an lbw as the ball spun back towards middle and leg, umpire didn't hesistate and was quick to raise his finger. No bat involved, pitching in line, impact in line and hitting the leg-stump fully so Bangladesh strike ealry on and Taijul strikes again after an impressive bowling display in the first innings 23/1
    7.5 Goes fuller and slanting towards middle and leg, lots of air as well, nonchalantly flicked off the inside-edge and a brilliant reaction from Mahmudul at short leg means Stirling has to take the long walk back into the pavillion. What seemed like a stable start has turned into a woeful one 26/2
    19.1 And Hasan Murad strikes straightaway! Generously flighted good length ball on the stumps, this one straightens and goes with the arm, hitting the pad in front of middle-leg. Carmichael plays off the front foot, with a massive gap between bat-pad and misses the ball completely. That looks plumb to me. He has a quick chat with his partner Tector and opts to walk back to the dressing room. Replay confirmed clipping the leg stump, umpire's call. Doesn't matter now for Ireland anyway. 77/3
    33.2 toe-ended, couldn't get fully under...Lapse of concentration and he grimaces, admonishes himself for the error, came down the track and larruped it straight to Mushfiqur at long-off who lunges forward and dives to take a splendid catch! Tector would be hurting, he was batting so well and trying to get a move on, find more scoring opportunities, tried to lift it over the fielder but just couldn't find enough power and elevation on this occasion. Nevertheless, a gutsy knock in trying conditions 118/4

    36.3 Touch short, ball smiled and deviated away from fourth stump line, goes feeling for it and gets a faint edge to the keeper, pouched safely on this occasion and his resistence metls away, another crucual breakthrough. Bangladesh keep finding ways to break partnerships. This was a beautiful delivery and the line was particularly impeccable, couldn't hold himself back and leave it 127/5
    49.5 Shrieking for an lbw and given slowly by the umpire! This was a tad quicker on a length and just straightened a touch on middle-stump line, bounced a little extra too, he tried to flick it away but the bat came down very late before the ball tenderized his pads...lunged forward as well. Review has been taken. Pitching in line, impact in line and hitting middle-stump, original decision stands and Bangladesh are into the tail 163/6
    67.2 the finger goes up! This is a quicker delivery around off stump and McBrine is late into playing a flick from under his eyeline. Ball hits him on his shin and pops up for first slip. Taijul and co. appeal for the lbw and the umpire says that's out. McBrine reviews out of hope, and replays say that the impact is umpire's call with the ball crashing into leg stump. Wicket number 250 for Taijul! 189/7
    81.3 That is an absolute ripper! Crackerjack! Good length and spins away a wee bit from off-stump, rises steeply too, he plays down the wrong line and misses it by a whisker actually, and the ball sneaks through the defence, disturbing the zingers! Previous delivery held its line and this one deviated a tiny fraction away from him and did the trick. Superb set-up 237/8
    113.2 Looped up on a length and turns in viciously towards middle, unable to lay bat on ball and looks pretty close. Massive appeal for an lbw in unison and the on-field umpire doesn't hesitate at all, adjudges lbw straightaway. Hoey wants another look. Three reds, hiting middle-stump and the original decision stands. 291/9
    113.3 And that's all she wrote. Murad delivers the coup de grĂące. Tosses it up fuller and gets it to spin across middle, beats the outside edge and wrecks the off-stump, back-to-back wickets and Bangladesh have won the two-match series by 2-0 291/10
