Bangladesh vs Ireland, 1st Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

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]
