Commentary

7:19 AM IST So, that is all from this game. A dominating performance from Bangladesh in home conditions. The action moves to Dhaka for the second match but expect similar conditions as we saw here at Sylhet. Ireland will look to level the series. Join us on the 19th of this month for the second Test. Join us at 3.30 am GMT and earlier for the build up. Till then, cheers!
7:13 AM IST Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh's skipper. He says the opening partnership was tremendous and hopes they will contribute in the next match as well. On Hasan Murad, Najmul Hossain Shanto says he has been waiting for a long time, Murad is doing well in first-class cricket and reckons he is an exciting bowler. Shares they want to play on a sporting wicket, on all four days, it was a pretty good wicket.
7:17 AM IST Mahmudul Hasan Joy, PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says he is a bit disappointed but happy to contribute to the team's success. Mentions it was pretty good to bat on these conditions. Reckons he tried to score boundaries after reaching his century but Mominul Haque told him to play sensibly. Ends by saying they are excited for the next match as Mushfiqur Rahim will play his 100th Test.
7:15 AM IST Andy Balbirnie, the skipper of Ireland says they enjoy every challenge. Credits Bangladesh for the way they played and feels they put them on the back foot right from the start. He is happy with his team for the way they fought today. Tells skills wise, Bangladesh are brilliant in home conditions but in testing conditions, he is satisfied with how his team played. Reckons his team will play well if they are exposed to more international cricket.
7:07 AM IST ...Presentation...
7:14 AM IST In the second and concluding session, Ireland counterattacked and tried to cut the deficit pretty quickly but Bangladesh stuck with their spinners to finish the proceedings. Ireland showed a tremendous fight in the second innings. They'll look to learn from it and replicate a similar performance in the second match and put in an even contest.
7:05 AM IST Against the odds and a formidable 301-run deficit, Ireland staged a fightback in the opening session of Day 4, led by Andrew Balbirnie and Andy McBrine. McBrine was superb, reaching his fifth Test half-century to anchor the innings and prevent a collapse. Despite the favourable turning conditions for Bangladesh's bowlers, the hosts struggled with the DRS, having four dismissal attempts denied. However, the visitors were a bit lucky on a couple of occasions. Ireland scored a crucial 107 runs in the session.
7:04 AM IST Ireland shuffled their deck in the third innings, sending out Cade Carmichael alongside Paul Stirling due to an injury to Andy Balbirnie. But the massive 301-run mountain proved too high to climb, as Carmichael, the debutant, fell quickly for just 5. Stirling and Harry Tector briefly showed resilience, adding 47 runs, but a moment of brilliance from Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto changed everything where he ran out Stirling directly from first slip! That dismissal triggered a painful collapse for the tourists. The wickets began to tumble in clusters, and by the close of play on Day 3, Bangladesh had seized complete control, reducing Ireland to a desperate 85 for five.
7:03 AM IST In response, Bangladesh didn't just bat, they built a fortress. The tone was set by a relentless 168-run opening partnership between Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Shadman Islam. After Shadman fell for 80, Mahmudul went on to register a colossal 171. He wasn't alone, though. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto scored a century, and Mominul Haque added a fluent 82. This incredible collective effort marked a first for Bangladesh where all four top-order batters crossed the 50-run mark. With a quick fifty from Litton Das and contributions from the lower order pushing the total past 587/8, Shanto declared the innings, securing a formidable 301-run lead.
7:02 AM IST In the first innings, Ireland were all out for 286. It was a tough start for the tourists, who had chosen to bat first and immediately lost their skipper Andy Balbirnie for a duck. Though a solid 96-run stand between Paul Stirling and Cade Carmichael steadied the ship, and the middle order chipped in, the innings ultimately belonged to the hosts' spin and seam attack. Mehidy Hasan Miraz led the charge with three wickets, ably supported by two each from Taijul Islam, Hasan Murad, and Hasan Mahmud.
7:01 AM IST Ireland's performance on Day 4 was indeed fantastic, but Bangladesh's dominating play ultimately sealed the game for them. The hosts' spinners were on top right throughout the game. However, Andy McBrine's resolute fifty and quick cameos from Jordan Neill and Barry McCarthy pushed the inevitable from Bangladesh a bit further. Bangladesh take the lead in the 2-match Test series. Let's recap how the game unfolded.

6:04 AM IST ... DAY 4, SESSION 2 ...
6:01 AM IST Bangladesh will be touch disappointed with how unlucky they were but looking at the overall picture, they are still way ahead in the game. They bowled well in this session but credit to the opposition when it is due. Ireland showed a lot of character against a full-fledged spin session but they will be optimistic when they come back for the second session with just three wickets to win. Ireland need to resume their job by showing more determination and all eyes will be on Andy McBrine once again. Say tuned for the second session.
5:34 AM IST A fantastic performance from Ireland and they have proved all the critics wrong. They have survived the first session while losing just two wickets. All the credit to Andy McBrine. He has played a determining knock so far. Although he was lucky on a couple of occasions, surviving LBW scars on consecutive deliveries and a catch appeal at silly point but fortune favours the brave. McBrine's fifty has cut the deficit down to 103 runs.

3:30 AM IST We are all set. The Bangladeshi players are out in the middle. Matthew Humphreys and Andy McBrine are the overnight batters. Ireland still trail by 215 runs at the start of Day 4. Spin to start the proceedings. Here is Taijul Islam with a slip, gully and a silly point in place.
3:29 AM IST Mushtaq Ahmed, Bangladesh spin bowling coach is up for a quick chat. He says basics are very important, and even the pace needs to be perfect on a surface like this. Tells cricket is all about angle games, feels they need to change the angle around the crease to destroy the batter's alignment. Appreciates Hasan Murad's performance and feels he has a strong temperament.
2:32 AM IST This match is perfectly poised for an early finish, with the pitch offering significant assistance to the spin bowlers. Bangladesh is just five wickets away from securing a 1-0 lead in this two-Test series, and their fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be a short and exciting morning session. The question now is, can Ireland's remaining batters show the resilience needed to survive, or will Bangladesh seal a swift victory? Stay tuned.
2:31 AM IST Bangladesh's bowlers, particularly the spinners, have turned up the heat on the Irish batters in the second innings. The double strike from Hasan Murad just before stumps on Day 3 highlighted the difficulties Ireland's batters face on a deteriorating pitch. With five wickets already down and a massive deficit to clear, the visitors have a monumental task ahead of them.
2:30 AM IST Welcome to Day 4 of the riveting Test match between Bangladesh and Ireland! The action has been overwhelmingly dominated by the hosts, who have put on a commanding display over the first three days. The magnificent first innings declaration by Bangladesh, spearheaded by skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto's fantastic century and a solid half-century from Litton Das, set a huge target and built an intimidating lead.
2:29 AM IST ...Day 4, Session 1...
11:09 AM IST However, Bangladesh declared once they crossed the 300-mark lead. The pressure was on Ireland to see out a full session. Paul Stirling found a new partner to open in Cade Carmichael but the latter failed to impress in his second outing. Stirling and Harry Tector stitched in a brisk partnership with the former acting as the aggressor but a moment of brilliance from Najmul Hossain Shanto was Paul Stirling run out, which opened the floodgates. Bangladesh were relentless and hungry for wickets after that, picking up five wickets. The spinners are getting a good degree of turns, and it will take a miracle for Ireland to get past Day 4. Join us fpr what could be the concluding day of this game. The action starts at 3.30 am GMT. You can join us earlier for the build up. Cheers!
11:04 AM IST The action continued relentlessly after lunch, with Bangladesh refusing to lift their foot off the gas. The Irish bowlers toiled hard, with Matthew Humphreys managing to pick up four wickets, though at the cost of plenty of runs. As the Tea break arrived, Bangladesh's monumental lead was nearing the 300-run mark. Given their aggressive approach right up to the interval, it seemed certain the 'leather hunt' would resume immediately after tea, with the declaration nowhere in sight.
11:04 AM IST So, the morning session was a mixed bag for Bangladesh, yet they remained firmly in control. Overnight centurion Mahmudul Hasan Joy was the first to fall, dismissed by Barry McCarthy for a magnificent 171. McCarthy struck again soon after, ending Mominul Haque's solid innings at 82. However, Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto anchored the innings beautifully, cruising to a quick half-century. He found a partner in Mushfiqur Rahim, but Rahim's contribution ended at 23. By the time the session closed, Litton Das had settled in, and critically, Bangladesh's overall lead had swelled to 161 runs, a significant cushion on a pitch starting to offer turn for the bowlers.
11:03 AM IST Day 3 is usually called the Moving Day and it has moved at a rapid pace. What a day for the hosts. They continue to dominate the proceedings and at this rat,e they will be keen to conclude the game tomorrow on Day 4 as Ireland have lost half of their side while still trailing by 215 runs.

Oh, was that boot first? If yes, then Paul Stirling is in trouble. Bangladesh have reviewed it. That's off the bat says the third umpire but the Bangladeshi players aren't happy. They think it brushed the cushion of the lower pads a bit. Shanto is having a word with the on-field umpire. Well, not out it remains. Bangladesh have burned a review. Tossed up, full and around off, Paul Stirling puts a big stride forward to defend and does well but Bangladesh thinks it hit the pads a bit. Anyway, the replay later shows, on ball tracking, the ball would have missed the off pole.
