Ireland vs Bangladesh One-off Test Live Score Day 2: Shakib, Mushfiqur Put Hosts In Control

After restricting Ireland to a score of 214 runs in the first innings, Bangladesh got off to a poor start on Day 1 that saw them losing two wickets for just 34 runs by the time stumps were called. Tamim Iqbal and Najmul Hossain Shanto were both sent packing by Ireland bowlers, who will arrive on the second day with plenty of confidence. Momimul Haque will hope to form a resolute partnership in the morning session when he will be joined by skipper Shakib Al Hasan in the middle. Surviving the first session in Dhaka will be key to Bangladesh's success. (LIVE Scorecard)

What a session for Bangladesh! They have scored more than 130 at a quick rate and trail now by just 44 runs. The hosts lost Mominul Haque early on but once Shakib Al Hasan came in and changed the complexion of the game. He just started to hit boundaries regularly and in no time raced away to his fifty. Rahim too followed him with his fifty. Ireland on the other hand had the start they wanted but as the game progressed, they had to chase the ball more often than before. If it continues the same way, Ireland will be giving away a huge lead. They have to try and take wickets in the next session quickly. A huge session coming up for Ireland. Stay tuned.
