...Presentation time...
For Ireland, they began well but as the ball got old, it got easier to score and Bangladesh capitalized. They scored quickly and Ireland were unable to contain them. In the end, Bangladesh completed a very good win to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Hard one for them, they did the job with the bat, the likes of Harry Tector and George Dockrell stepped up but in vain in the end.
That’s some chase from Bangladesh! We felt the score was quite over par but they have gunned it down with some ease. Shanto was the star. He batted brilliantly. Attacked the bowlers and it came off. He scored a brilliant ton and the others did their job too. The likes of Towhid Hridoy played brilliantly and he provided the much-needed impetus. It came down to the last over but the experienced Rahim kept his cool and took them over the line.

FOUR! Rahim has done it! Short in length and on middle. Rahim scoops it over to third man for a boundary. Pressure got big on Adair. Bangladesh win by 3 wickets.

NO BALL! Rahim survives! A full toss on middle and Rahim pulls it straight in the hands of the man at deep square leg. The catch is taken but Rahim was pretty sure it would be deemed as a no ball. The third umpire makes the correct decision. Mark Adair is feeling the pressure.
The umpires are checking for a no ball. Waist height no ball.

OUT! LBW! Islam goes! A yorker around off. Islam steps across to flick but misses. A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Islam walks back without reviewing it. Is there a late twist?
