... The Run Chase ...

So then, the track is supportive to batters as we have seen so far and let us not forgot that there will be dew at some point in the second innings. So an enticing chase is coming your way, do join us shortly for the second essay...

For Ireland, the bowlers were on top in the initial stage but they failed to capitalize on the nervy start from the hosts and that big 4th wicket partnership is the main reason behind this mammoth total that they have been asked to chase down. Graham HumeÂ was the stand-out bowler with his four-wicket haul, while Mark Adair, Curtis Campher and Andy McBrineÂ took a wicket each. Â

Bangladesh started off a bit sluggish as they lost the top-order for not many runs on the board but a brilliant partnership of 135 between the debutant, Towhid HridoyÂ and the experienced, Shakib Al HasanÂ helped them to stable the ship and laid downÂ a perfect platform for the rest of the pack.

Mushfiqur RahimÂ Â played an amazing cameo right at the end as he scored 44 runs in no time at all.
