Bangladesh vs Ireland, 2nd Test

BAN 1st Innings
All
141.1
W
Andy McBrine to Khaled Ahmed, out Lbw!! Andy McBrine finishes with six. Bowls the quicker offbreak at the stumps, Khaled wanted to block and ended up playing down the wrong line. The ball sneaks past the outside edge and pins him plumb on the back leg. Ball tracker reveals that would have hit the top of middle stump. Khaled Ahmed lbw b Andy McBrine 8(12) [6s-1]
139.1
6
Andy McBrine to Khaled Ahmed, SIX, off the mark with a maximum! A floaty delivery in the slot outside off, Khaled Ahmed gets under it and dispatches it over long-on with plenty of bottom hand power
137.3
W
Andy McBrine to Hasan Murad, out Caught by Gavin Hoey!! A well-deserved five for Andy McBrine. He bowls it full and lures Hasan Murad into a big shot. The slogsweep flies off the top-edge and picks out the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Hasan Murad c Gavin Hoey b Andy McBrine 11(22) [4s-1]
136
4
Gavin Hoey to Ebadot Hossain, FOUR, the man at deep backward put in a chase and then a dive. But I guess he hasn't done well enough to stop the four. A big effort from the fielder in the deep though but Bangladesh get four more runs. Huge over comes to an end. 18 off it. Was on the pads and sliding down leg for the batter to nudge it out
135.4
4
Gavin Hoey to Ebadot Hossain, FOUR, flatter one, turning away, the batter again picked the length early and pulled it over and wide of mid-on for a four
135.2
6
Gavin Hoey to Ebadot Hossain, SIX, rocks back to a googly and slams the pull over deep mid. Strong hit over the fence and Ebadot Hossain is having some fun here. He picked the length early and also knew it was a googly
135.1
4
Gavin Hoey to Ebadot Hossain, FOUR, tossed up delivery, on the sticks, the batter takes the bait and lofts it over mid-on. Nice swing of the bat as he connected well
134.5
4
Humphreys to Hasan Murad, FOUR, sits down, gets hold of the tossed up delivery and slams the slog sweep down to deep mid for a four. That was a clean hit
133.1
W
Gavin Hoey to Taijul Islam, out Bowled!! Cleaned him up! Was a googly, the batter looked to clip it and missed the line of the delivery for the ball to hit the top of off. 8th one down. Second wicket for Gavin Hoey. Lovely dip and Taijul Islam played down the wrong line. He closed the face of the bat and missed the line of the ball. Ireland trying to fetch back some lost ground but is it too late? Taijul Islam b Gavin Hoey 4(10)
130.1
W
Humphreys to Litton Das, out Caught by Stirling!! Taken at first slip. Was a tossed up delivery, outside off, the batter looked to slog sweep and got an edge. The ball came off the cue-end of the bat I guess. The man at first slip did show good reflexes to take it. Opted for a high risk shot as he was playing against the spin but this time came a cropper. Second time today that Humphreys has removed a centurion. Ireland trying to make a mini comeback. Litton Das c Stirling b Humphreys 128(192) [4s-8 6s-4]
129.4
W
Gavin Hoey to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, out Caught by Cade Carmichael!! He got away on the previous occasion but this was a simple chance. Was a tossed up delivery, the batter wanted to go inside out and sliced it. The man at point gobbled it up without any hassles. Maiden Test wicket for Gavin Hoey and he has worked really hard for it. Mehidy Hasan Miraz would be gutted as the fifty was there for the taking. Mehidy Hasan Miraz c Cade Carmichael b Gavin Hoey 47(107) [4s-3 6s-1]
129.2
Gavin Hoey to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 1 run, Tector drops it! The fielder was running back. Got two hands to it and the ball popped out. They dropped three chances yesterday and have gifted away another here. Was a tossed up delivery, outside off, Mehidy Hasan Miraz looked to go inside out and faikled to time it despite getting under the ball. Sliced it away and the fielder messed it up
128.5
Humphreys to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, no run, another excellent review from the hosts! Was a flatter one, angled in, Mehidy Hasan Miraz looked to defedn and missed the line of the delivery. Was given out but Mehidy Hasan Miraz decided to review and that has come good for him. Bangladesh having everything going well for them.
128.4

127.3
6

Humphreys to Litton Das, 1 run, plays that down to long-off for a single with a forward press
123
Humphreys to Litton Das, no run, flatter one, arm ball and Litton Das missed the line of the delivery as it bent in after landing. The ball was doing a bit too much as per ball tracker as the trajectory showed it was going down leg. Das was given out but he reviewed it. He didn't seem confident but he has been proved right here
120.5
4
Humphreys to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, FOUR, and Mehidy has slapped it over the bowler's head for a four. Knelt down, got under the ball and tonked over the bowler. The intentions are clear. Loose balls will be punished
120.1
4
Humphreys to Litton Das, byes, FOUR, and what a start! Das has made his intentions clear for sure. Was a tossed up delivery and Litton Das looked to slog sweep that but missed the line of the delivery. The keeper missed the ball as well and the ball trickled over the ropes
116
H
Gavin Hoey to Litton Das, FOUR, fifth Test ton for Litton Das! Gavin Hoey misses his line and slips it down leg. Litton Das says 'thank you' as he paddles the ball fine for a four. Takes his helmet off, puts a kiss on it and has his hands aloft in the air. Soaks in the applause. One of the best batters ever from Bangladesh, Das batted in a mellifluous manner in this innings and would want to carry on
114.1
6
Humphreys to Litton Das, SIX, and that has been slapped over long-on! Nervous 90s? What's that asks Das!? Was a loopy ball, outside off, Litton Das knelt down and slammed it over long-on. Got under the ball and sent it over the ropes
109
Humphreys to Litton Das, no run, went wide of the crease and fired it in with the arm, Litton had a big stride forward and got pinned just below the knee roll of the front pad. The bowler was interested in a review and skipper Balbirnie ultimately went with Humphreys' instinct. Missing off stump and height was an issue as well...

105.1

98.1
W
Humphreys to Mushfiqur, out Caught by Balbirnie!! Taken at second slip. Rahim shakes his head as he walks off. Could he have played that off the front foot? That was a flatter one, turned away, took the edge and was taken by the man at second slip. Good sharp take. The batter hung his bat outside off and paid the price for it. The bounce did him in. He wanted to play that with soft hands but was not able to. The ball lobbed up as he couldn't control the bounce on that. The Irish players did pat Rahim on the back. Was a good knock. Mushfiqur c Balbirnie b Humphreys 106(214) [4s-5]
94.3

91.3
H
Jordan Neill to Mushfiqur, 1 run, and there you go! 11th batter to score a 100 in the 100th Test. Whatta player he has been for Bangladesh. That was angled on to the pads, Mushfiqur nudged it wide of square leg. The crowd find their voices. Rahim must have had a tough night being not out on 99 overnight. But the nightmares will be replaced by dreams when he goes to sleep today. He has not taken too long to get to the triple figure mark. The first over was a good one but did well to negate it. The journey started in 2005 and it has been a good one for Rahim!
83.5
4
Andy McBrine to Mushfiqur, FOUR, a boundary after 10 overs for Bangladesh! Fraction short from McBrine and Mushfiqur is quick to go back and slap the cut in front of square on the off-side. The man in the deep runs across and dives to his right but fails to flick it back
76.5
Gavin Hoey to Litton Das, no run, late spin on this legbreak just outside off, Litton wanted to block off the front foot and missed, or has he? The bowler felt there was an edge and he's convinced his skipper to take a review with 3 seconds left on the DRS clock. Replays in and UltraEdge shows a flat line. No bat involved - not out. Ireland still have 2 more reviews....
76.2
Gavin Hoey to Litton Das, 1 run, full on off, Litton prods across and nudges it to square leg

63.2
W
Andy McBrine to Mominul, out Caught by Balbirnie!! Wicket number 4 for Andy McBrine. He is the man for Ireland. Mominul wanted to play the sweep and crouched on one knee looking to hit it through mid-wicket. The ball catches the inside edge and hits the boot before lobbing up towards Balbirnie at second slip. Ireland were confident and started celebrating instantly. A much-needed breakthrough for the visitors. Mominul c Balbirnie b Andy McBrine 63(128) [4s-1]

50.4
Humphreys to Mominul, no run, dropped! Humphreys went wide of the crease and bowled it on a length just outside off, Mominul stayed on the back foot and poked with hard hands. The outside edge flies to the right of Stirling and he fails to cling onto it. Went really quickly and needed a better reaction from the senior pro....
48.1
4

27.4
W
Andy McBrine to Shanto, out Bowled!! 89.8 kph, the ball sneaks through the defence of the batter and he has been clean bowled. Look of disbelief on the face of the batter. That was a quicker one, angled in, the batter played back and the ball skidded on to beat the defence. This is superb stuff from the experienced offie. He has picked up his third wicket and the hosts in a spot of bother before lunch on day 1. The skipper has to walk back. He had hit a sixer off the previous ball but he comes back immediately. Shanto b Andy McBrine 8(11) [6s-1]
27.3
6
Andy McBrine to Shanto, SIX, 81.3 kph, tossed up, Shanto dances down and launches it over long-on. Superb hitting from the southpaw as he hit that against the spin

W
Andy McBrine to Mahmudul Hasan Joy, out Caught by (sub)McCarthy!! 74 balls since last boundary and that pressure has paid rich dividends. That was a tossed up delivery, the batter danced down and looked to launch it down the ground but cue-ended the ball and sliced it a little. Easiest of takes for the fielder. Ireland strike before lunch. Huge wicket as Mahmudul Hasan Joy was looking good. The tight spell of bowling has come good. Mahmudul Hasan Joy c (sub)McCarthy b Andy McBrine 34(86) [4s-2]
13.4
W
Andy McBrine to Shadman Islam, out Lbw!! Andy McBrine was certain that was out and it didn't take long for him to convince the skipper. Bowled in the in-between length channel and got the ball to sneak past the inside edge to strike Shadman on the front pad in front of middle and off. There was an element of doubt of an is as Shadman looked unperturbed. Not to be. Ball tracker suggests that it would have gone onto hit the leg stump. It's the round-arm non-spinning delivery from Andy McBrine and Shadman played for the turn there. Shadman Islam lbw b Andy McBrine 35(44) [4s-6]
13.2
Andy McBrine to Mahmudul Hasan Joy, 3 runs, well-timed. Length was full and Mahmudul drove that crisply to the left of cover. Backward point and cover give chase to prevent the boundary
