We are pretty sure not many would have been expecting the game to go to the 4th Day but here we are welcoming you to the coverage of the what could be the final day of the only Test between Ireland and Bangladesh. A fight back of all sorts has seen Ireland get back into the game. Thanks to a magical ton from Lorcan Tucker and some handy outings from Andy McBrine and Lorcan Tucker, their side, from four down for nothing have not only cut down a deficit of 150 but are into the lead which is also close to 150. Still they have two wickets in hand and they would hope they can somehow cross the 200-run mark. Bangladesh though would still feel they are ahead in the game but they would want to take the remaining two wickets quickly. They know any kind of target could get tricky to chase on a detoriating wicket but anything around 150, they would fancy their chances. An important first session awaits.
