Rit Faisal: "From 20 overs, Ireland batted superbly and made this game a real competition !"

Don: "Keep Tector away from the IPL mate. He's not going to get any game time or just going to lose his confidence like Brook and Ireland anyway hardly plays in the subcontinent. A Hundred or BBL deal would do him some good. "

SkY: "Crazyyyy! Ohhhohhh! What a great batting display I have just seen from those Irish boys! I must appropriate the efforts that have been shown by them though I'm a Bangladeshi. Claps for them. All the best to Bangladesh."

Harry Tector: (On what he's doing right) I don't know to be honest, I work on my game a lot. I just make the most of good form because it's not always there. Great to have done well so far in my career but it's just a start. True test is if I can do it for a long period. Dockrell played brilliantly for the last two years to be able to come in and provide impetus in ODIs and T20s. Great to have my parents here, they got in this morning. Real special.

4:30pm: Tector's 140 and Dockrell's 74* punctuates a brilliant innings for Ireland after being put in to bat. They lost early wickets, Tector and Balbirnie had a tough time playing the quicks but counterattacked to perfection. Hasan Mahmud and Shoriful Islam held their lengths beautifully in the early overs but from around the tenth over, both batters chanced an arm. They tried to keep going and Balbirnie fell with the stand on 98. Shoriful struck twice and when Taijul got Campher, Ireland were on 167 for 5 with nearly 15 overs to go. But Tector, who got a life or two, took full fearless charge. Dockrell started by complementing him and then rose up to Tector's intensity. The No. 4 finished with a career-best score and Adair joined Dockrell to take Ireland over 300. For the visitors, Shoriful - who was taken down at the end - being given his full quota and Mehidy coming on after 40 overs for the first time in the innings was surprising and arguably costly. Hasan was brilliant, Shakib and Taijul bowled tight when they could but Tector and Dockrell took them apart once they got going. Their fielding saved quite a few runs but are they still left with too much? Sudarshanan will be in after the break to find out with you.

Bilal: "Tector is honestly a class above the rest. Always felt he could play with the "big boys" of world cricket. He's oozing talent. English County cricket and the IPL would be wise to sign him up. "

Isaac Marshall: "Ireland's kit is one of the best I've ever seen! The beige-gold trim with that green is just perfect! I hope they keep that for the world cup qualifiers and world cup if they get there."

Eight overs of the powerplay has yielder 101 runs and has included three dots, says Niall O'Brien on air. Final over

Effectively a free hit for Adair

Sun Rahman : "If dockrell stays Ireland can reach 325-330" Mehidy's brought the likeliness of that happening down a notch

Ankur: "@Ranil, I don't think so. Ireland have visited the subcontinent (Both Bangladesh and Ireland) last month, and didn't show that much good there. That shows some weakness of the team. As the WC will be at India, so I think it is too early to come to a concrete decision. Obviously this type of performance will boost up their confidence. "

ASIF AHMED: "Miraz is a clever bowler, he can adapt with any kind of pitch with his tight line and length, Very poor captaincy by Tamim!! not to bring him earlier."
