4:15pm Well, the Bangladesh innings comes to an end. Several standout performers, with Mushfiqur being solid as ever for Bangladesh. Shakib and Mehidy also notched up crucial fifties, with Litton scoring a brisk 41.

McBrine, meanwhile, headlined the show for the visitors, picking up the best-ever figures by an Irish bowler in a Test innings. Unfortunately for Ireland, there was not a lot of support for McBrine, meaning that they let the game drift in the first and second sessions today. In the third session, they hit back, although by then, Bangladesh had fashioned themselves a very healthy lead.

The hosts are still in control of this game, and are more than 150 runs ahead. The ball has also spun a lot more regularly than it did yesterday and Ireland will have to bat exceptionally to put up a challenging fourth-innings target for Bangladesh. Do join Aaditya in a bit for Ireland's second innings.

White to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, OUT, stumped, and Bangladesh are bowled out for 369! Tossed up on a length outside off stump and this one grips and spins away sharply. Mehidy advances without really picking the length and is too far away from the ball as it goes past the bat. Tucker does the rest, and catches Mehidy well short of his ground!
