Lorcan Tucker scored 108 runs while Harry Tector was dismissed at the score of 56. Ireland have taken the lead against Bangladesh. Taijul Islam has taken three while Shakib Al Hasan has scalped two wickets in the innings so far. Shoriful Islam and Ebadot Hossain have taken one wicket each. Earlier, Mushfiqur Rahim’s knock of 126 put Bangladesh on the front foot after early wobbles as the side posted 369 runs in reply of Ireland’s 214 in the first innings. Ireland skipper Andrew Balbirnie had won the toss and opted to bat first
- Bangladesh probably lost the plot as the game progressed. They allowed stands to build one after the another and have allowed Ireland to dictate terms. Ireland now lead by 131 runs. If they can reach around 200, it will be very hard for Bangladesh to chase down as the pressure will be on them. But before that, Bangladesh have to think about taking the remaining wickets. Join us on Day 4 at 0930 IST (0400 GMT) and earlier for the build up to catch all the action. Till then, cheers!
- !A session that belongs to Ireland, a day that belongs to Ireland. They have kept the game alive and how. At the start, it looked like we probably might get a result but Ireland were to stubborn to give away easily. They lost Peter Moor early on but then came the massive stand between Harry Tector and Tucker. They added more than 70 and released all the pressure. Once Harry Tector fell, McBrine joined hands with Lorcan Tucker to continue the good work and add another 100 to the board and take the lead in the game.
Bangladesh 369
Ireland 214& 286/8 (107.0)
