Taijul Islam to Young, SIX, gorgeous stroke! In the slot on off, Young leans towards it and lifts it nonchalantly over long-off for a maximum. He struck that really cleanly

Taijul Islam to Humphreys, out Lbw!! Humphreys has been trapped in front but he takes the review straightaway. Was the in-drifter on a fuller length on leg-stump and it turned in as well, Humphreys crouched in his stance and went for the big sweep but seemed to have got beaten on the under-edge and got pinged on the pads. UltraEdge rolls in and there's a gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it returns three reds. The ball would have crashed into leg-stump. Bangladesh strike early this morning. Humphreys lbw b Taijul Islam 0(2)

UltraEdge rolls in and it shows a gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it returns three reds. It would have crashed into the middle-stump.

Nahid Rana to Jordan Neill, FOUR, beautifully done! 141.9kph pitched up delivery outside off, Jordan Neill leans towards it a bit and creams the drive through extra cover to find the fence. 250 up for Ireland

Nahid Rana to McCarthy, FOUR, edged but safe! 132.7kph back of a length delivery outside off, McCarthy pushes at it with hard hands but gets a thick outside edge. It flies right through the gap between second slip and gully for a boundary

Hasan Murad to McCarthy, FOUR, good timing! On the shorter side on off, McCarthy stands tall and punches it on the rise through extra cover. He struck that one sweetly

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Jordan Neill, FOUR, easy pickings! Short and wide, Jordan Neill rocks back and cuts it nicely. Oh, actually it's a sloppy piece of fielding. Taijul at backward point is lazy to bend down and allows it through for a boundary. He hurt his finger earlier in the day and that might have made him cautious on this occasion

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Andy McBrine, out Stumped!! Mehidy Hasan Miraz has bowled with good rhythm and he gets another reward! He was constantly keeping it in the probing off-stump channel to the southpaw and he has eventually got the better of him.

He is beaten all ends up on the outside edge. Tucker had dragged his back foot out of the crease. Litton Das collected the ball quickly and took the bails off in a flash.

Hasan Murad to Tucker, SIX, what a strike! Floated full delivery outside off, Tucker crouches in his stance and nails the slog sweep over cow corner for a flat maximum. He got underneath it and gave it the treatment. Tucker moves into the fourties

Floated up nicely on a fuller length outside off, inviting Curtis Campher to go for an expansive drive through covers and he obliges. This one turns away nicely after landing. The outside edge is induced. Shanto at slip is alert and takes a sharp catch near his right shoulder. He throws the ball in frustration after taking the catch. A wicket against the run of play. Curtis Campher c Shanto b Hasan Murad 44(94) [4s-4 6s-2]

Taijul Islam to Curtis Campher, SIX, shot! In the slot this time, Curtis Campher kneels down on one knee and slog sweeps it with authority over cow corner for a maximum

Hasan Murad to Tucker, no run, Tucker has been trapped in front. After a bit of deliberation, he opts for the review! Looks adjacent to the naked eye. Was a length delivery that drifted in. It landed on off and skidded on after landing. Tucker knelt down on one knee and went for the big sweep but missed to get struck on the pads. UltraEdge shows a flat line. Over to ball-tracking and well, well the impact is just outside off. It actually pitched outside off and didn't come back in enough with the round the wicket angle. The Bangladeshi players are a little confused after watching the replay on the big screen but they have get on with the game. Good review from Tucker

Nahid Rana to Tucker, FOUR, well played! Shortish delivery outside off, sits up nicely for Tucker. He gets into a good position and short-arm-jabs it nicely through mid-wicket to get the desired result

Hasan Murad to Tucker, FOUR, lovely stroke! Tucker leans ahead to the in-drifter and drives it crisply past the right side of Hasan Murad. Shadman at long-off is a bit wide and he has to cover a lot of ground to his right. He dives but can't prevent the boundary

Hasan Murad to Tucker, FOUR, hit with authority! Flighted delivery outside off, Tucker crouches in his stance and slog sweeps it over mid-wicket for a rocketing boundary. He connected that one really well

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Tucker, SIX, gorgeous stroke! Tucker uses his feet, gets quite close to the pitch of the delivery and hoists it over wide long-on for a maximum. That was a good percentage shot, he went with the spin and there wasn't any protection in the deep

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Cade Carmichael, out Caught by Shanto!! Bangladesh review for a catch. Shanto has a chat with Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Litton Das and decides to challenge the decision. Was there bat involved? Was a tossed up delivery around off, turned in a bit with extra bounce. Cade Carmichael went for the reverse sweep but it seemed to come off his arm and lobbed up behind. Shanto at slip was wrong-footed initially but adjusted quickly as he ran to his left and dived to catch it. Time for the replays. UltraEdge rolls in. There's a little spike when the ball is next to the top-edge of the bat. The third umpire mentions that there is a slight murmur there when the ball is next to the edge of the bat. So, there's clear evidence that there's some bat involved. The third umpire wants to check for the catch now. The catch is clean. Carmichael is disappointed when he watches the replay on the big screen. End of a good knock from Carmichael on his debut innings nonetheless. Cade Carmichael c Shanto b Mehidy Hasan Miraz 59(129) [4s-7]

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Tector, out Lbw!! 84.2kph, confident appeal for lbw from Mehidy, in fact he keeps on appealing but umpire Ahsan Raza is unmoved. The bowler then persuades his captain to send it upstairs. More revs, spins and beats the inside edge of Tector to rap him on the front pad adjacent to the stumps. The batter was looking to work it into the on-side and the bat hit the pad in the process. UltraEdge confirms no inside edge. Over to ball-tracking and it's three reds! That's crashing into the leg-stump. Probably the first one Mehidy got to spin and he's removed Tector. HawkEye showed it to be hitting leg. Successful review and Ireland lose two wickets in two overs. Tector lbw b Mehidy Hasan Miraz 1(6)

Nahid Rana to Stirling, out Caught by Shadman Islam!! Nahid Rana strikes in the first over after lunch. A couple of chances went down off his bowling in the first hour, not this time. 146.9kph, on a length outside off and Stirling flashes his bat at for a big drive away from his body. Extra bounce as well and Stirling gets a thick outside edge to second slip. Shadman, who dropped Stirling earlier in the day, doesn't err on this occasion as he catches it with both hands over his right shoulder. Stirling c Shadman Islam b Nahid Rana 60(76) [4s-9]

Taijul Islam to Cade Carmichael, FOUR, edge, safe and four! Lovely delivery from Taijul. Drifts in and spins away, trims the outside edge of Carmichael who tentatively pushes at it off the front foot. The outside edge goes between the keeper and first slip. Lucky!

Hasan Mahmud to Cade Carmichael, no run, dropped! 134.8kph, short ball, Carmichael goes after it with a pull shot. Tries to play along the ground as he fetches it from outside off. Carries low to midwicket and Taijul puts it down. He leaves the field as he seems to have injured his right hand. It hit the fingertips

Nahid Rana to Stirling, no run, 138.4kph, hard length outside off, Stirling pokes and gets a thick outside edge that goes to second slip. Carries but Shadman fails to hold onto it as he gets low. Dropped! Nahid Rana isn't a happy man

Hasan Mahmud to Balbirnie, out Lbw!! 133.2kph, lbw appeal and up goes umpire Sam Nogajski's finger. Balbirnie has a chat with Stirling and reviews it with one second remaining. It's a fair delivery. Fuller than a length, seams back in sharply and beats the inside edge of the batter to rap him on the back leg. No feet movement from the Irish captain and a big gap between bat and pad suggesting that he didn't account for the inward movement. Well, there's a spike on UltraEdge but there seems to be a gap between bat and ball. "Very clear gap between the bat and the ball," says umpire Richard Illingworth and it's time to move on to ball-tracking. Impact - umpire's call (around off), wickets - hitting. Ireland don't lose a review but they lose their captain for a duck. Balbirnie lbw b Hasan Mahmud 0(4)
