Strong resistance from Ireland in the first session of the third day
Ireland: 214 and 93/5 (in 47.0 overs) Bangladesh 1st innings: 369/10 (in 80.3 overs)
At the end of the second day, Bangladesh got the atmosphere of victory by the innings margin. The way the spinners got the turn in the fall of the second day, the 129 runs of the last 6 pairs of Ireland to avoid the innings loss seemed to be difficult. (Until lunch on the third day)
However, at the end of the second day with a score of 27/4, Ireland put up a strong resistance in batting on the third day. At the end of the first session of the third day, Ireland's score was 93/5.
Harry Tector is on 43 and Lorcan Tucker is batting on 24. And if they score 63 runs, the Irish can send Bangladesh to bat in the second innings.
As much as Ireland was supposed to suffer from the fear of spin in the first session of the day, there was no sign of it. Rather, the Irish have been seen doing a reverse sweep against the Bangladesh spinners. Ireland's resistance in this session was telling.
Ireland are fighting to avoid an innings defeat by adding 66 runs for the loss of 1 wicket. It was made possible by the 4th wicket pair's 38 runs and the 5th pair's unbroken 42 runs.
In the second over of the second day, Liton missed the opportunity to send Tector behind the wicket off Taijul. That's why the expectation of victory is increasing. After 9 runs, this tector, who got back to life, hit Taijul for a six over long on! Shariful hit 2 fours in one over.
Left-handed pace bowler Shariful gave the first break through of the day. Coming in to bowl in Taijul's change, he forced Peter Moore (16) to be caught behind the wicket on the first ball of his second over. After this break through at the end of 54 minutes of the day, the Bangladesh bowlers have shown the ball to be harmless.
