| 1.3 : 1.3: P Chase to S Sarkar, FOUR! Misfield! Chase digs in a short ball around off, rising onto the batsman, Sarkar stands tall inside the crease and slams it square of the wicket. The point fielder dives to his right, gets some hands onto it but fails to stop it cleanly. It brushes past his fingers to the fence behind. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: P Chase to S Sarkar, OUT! Sarkar 'Chased' out of the ground! Brilliant delivery, on back of a length around off and moving away a shade off the seam, Sarkar has a tame push inside the line without any footwork and gets a thin outside edge behind to the keeper. Niall O'Brien makes no mistake, they appeal and the finger goes up. Excellent start for Ireland. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: P Chase to S Rahman, OUT! Sabbir has thrown it away! Poor, very poor shot selection from him. Ran out of patience too soon, just the third ball he faced. Chase angles in a length ball around off, Rahman gives the charge with the intention to heave it over mid-wicket but it takes the top edge and goes straight up in the air towards third man. Tim Murtagh runs in and across a bit to his right and grabs a fantastic tumbling catch. Bangladesh struggling! |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Tim Murtagh to M Rahim, FOUR! Deftly played! Murtagh loses his radar and slips a length ball down the leg side, Rahim picks it off his pads and neatly deflects it down to fine leg for a boundary. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: P Chase to T Iqbal, FOUR! Full ball on pads of Tamim. He stylishly flicks it to deep backward square leg, Murtagh dives to stop it but misses it and the ball goes for a boundary. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: P Chase to T Iqbal, FOUR! Easy pickings! Full and going down the leg side, Tamim just picks it off his pads and eases it down to fine leg for a boundary. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: Tim Murtagh to T Iqbal, FOUR! Full ball on off stump, Tamim drives it beautifully down the ground, beats mid off and it races to the fence for a boundary. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Tim Murtagh to T Iqbal, FOUR! Through the covers this time. Full outside off and Tamim drives it to the covers, beating the diving fielder inside the ring for a boundary. Lovely shot. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: B McCarthy to M Rahim, FOUR! Lovely shot! A gentle loosener first up, McCarthy drags his length short and bowls it outside off, Rahim stands back and slams it past the point fielder for a boundary. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: B McCarthy to M Rahim, FOUR! Replica of the last delivery. Barry once again tries his luck with the short delivery outside off, Rahim shows no qualms in whacking it through point for a boundary. |
| 10.1 : 10.1: Tim Murtagh to T Iqbal, EDGY FOUR! Murtagh gets a length ball to nip away after landing outside off, Tamim stretches forward to defend but gets a big fat outside edge past first slip for a boundary. |
| 11.1: B McCarthy to M Rahim, OUT! Gone, Rahim edges this one to first slip. McCarthy bowls it a little outside off, gets a bit of away shape and Rahim goes for an expansive drive on the up. He however gets an outside edge and it is taken sharply by Gary Wilson. It's a big blow for Bangladesh as they lose an experienced batsman. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: P Chase to Al Hasan, FOUR! Short just outside off stump, Shakib guides it beautifully between third man and point for a boundary. Pure timing by Shakib. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: P Chase to Al Hasan, FOUR! Short on the body of the batsman. Shakib pulls it very fine, past the diving keeper for another boundary. That's two in two for Shakib. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: P Chase to Al Hasan, OUT! Gone! Chase comes around the wicket, bowls it on a length outside off. Shakib goes for a booming drive through the off side but gets a faint outside edge behind. Niall O'Brien, the keeper, goes down low to his left to snap the catch inches above the surface. Another big blow to Bangladesh. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: B McCarthy to Mahmudullah, LUCKY FOUR! McCarthy bowls it on a length outside off, Mahmudullah pokes inside the line and gets a thick outside edge. It runs wide of second slip and reaches the boundary. Third man was pretty square on this occasion. |
| 17.2: S Thompson to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Thompson offers width outside off, Mahmudullah latches onto it and whacks it square of the wicket on the off side. Finds the gap behind point and fetches a boundary. |
| 20.2: G Dockrell to Mahmudullah, SIX! Just over Kevin! Tossed up ball around off, Mahmudullah dances down the track and powers it over mid on. Kevin O'Brien in the deep tries his best to catch it over his head but it sails past him. |
| 21.4 : 21.4: S Thompson to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Thompson serves another freebie, a full toss on the pads, this time Mahmudullah doesn't miss out and whips it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 25.3 : 25.3: B McCarthy to T Iqbal, FOUR! Useful boundary! A juicy half-volley outside off, Tamim leans into the drive and thumps it through the gap at covers for a boundary. Lovely timing and placement. |
| 25.6 : 25.6: B McCarthy to T Iqbal, FOUR! Fine shot to reach his half century! Full and angling into the batsman, Iqbal gets on the front foot and pushes it back off the inside half of the bat. Still the timing is great and it speeds down to the fence down the ground. A responsible knock by Tamim, so far. |
| 26.5 : 26.5: G Dockrell to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Cracking shot! Dockrell gives it some extra flight but lands it very full outside off, Mahmudullah unfurls a beautifully timed cover drive for a boundary. A shot of pedigree. No chance for the fielder in the deep. This partnership has certainly put Bangladesh back in the game. |
| 27.4 : 27.4: B McCarthy to T Iqbal, FOUR! Easily done! McCarthy switches to around the wicket and delivers a short ball outside off, Tamim gets back and just uses the pace of the bowler to run it fine towards third man for a boundary. |
