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

Hasan Murad to Balbirnie, out Lbw!! Balbirnie has been trapped in front! After a bit of deliberation, he challenges the decision. Looks plumb to be honest! Was the in-drifter on a fuller length on middle and off, kept coming in with the angle, Balbirnie tried to sweep it across but seemed to have missed and got struck on the pads. UltraEdge detects a spike but there's clear gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and hitting is umpire's call. Bangladesh have finally broken through. The gritty stand comes to an end.
