Bangladesh cricket team is playing a two-match Test series against Ireland. On the first day of the first Test in Sylhet, the Irish scored 270 for 8.

It seemed that Ireland was going to end the day with the loss of 7 wickets. And Taijul Islam is left without a wicket. But Taijul put Bangladesh on the wicket hunt by getting Jordan Neil lbw on the last ball of the day, giving them the eighth wicket.

The Irish only managed to delay the end of the day’s play a little with the review. The umpire threw the bell to confirm the TV umpire’s out. Ireland ended the day at 270 for 8.

Bangladesh, who took wickets in the first over of the day, could not all out the Irish on the first day due to fielding failures. They missed four catches, the first of which was in the first 6 overs. And with that, Paul Stirling and Cade Carmichael could add 98 runs for the second wicket. After that, the Irish lost wickets regularly.

Mehedi Hasan Miraj was Bangladesh’s best bowler on the day with 3 wickets. Debutant left-arm spinner Hasan Murad took 2 wickets. In addition, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana and Taijul Islam took 1 wicket each.

Openers Paul Stirling and Chad Carmichael were out for 60 and 59 runs for the team. Curtis Camper returned with 44 runs. Lorcan Turker scored 41 runs.

Jordan Neal was confused by Taijul Islam’s spin on the ball just before the end of the first day’s play. He was sent back to the dressing room and Bangladesh returned to the dressing room after the first day’s play in a cheerful mood.

However, although Bangladesh took 8 wickets on the first day, they took 5 catches. Otherwise, the Irish cricket team would have been all out on the first day.

Brief scores (end of day 1):

Ireland – 270/8 (90 overs); Stirling 60, Carmichael 59, Campher 44, Lorcan 41; Miraj 3-50, Murad 2-47, Hasan 1-32, Nahid 1-65, Taijul 1-72
