After restricting Ireland to a score of 214 runs in the first innings, Bangladesh got off to a poor start on Day 1 yesterday as they lost 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 tried to form a resolute partnership in the morning session on day 2 but returned to pavilion after scoring 17 off 34 balls.

However, skipper Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim are putting Ireland in control.

Bangladesh managed 174 for three after Shakib took 75 of 76 balls and Mushfiqur bagged 55 of 83 balls till filing of the report.
