A game that delivered more than it promised and it was a pleasure bringing it to you. It sets up a decider and we hope to see you for that. Mohammad Isam's report will be up here soon. Do check it out. That's it from us for now. Take care, goodnight.
Litton Das, Bangladesh captain and POTM Finger's getting better. We all want to play this kind of game. When we are under pressure, our bowlers come back hard. Big thanks to Saifuddin, not easy to come back and do what he did. Not concerned by loss of late wickets. New ball is easier to bat here, so after the break I said I need a run in the top.
Paul Stirling, Ireland captain: That was a great game. We were off a fraction in the critical moments. Proud of our fight. It's quick early on here, then it gets harder to play later on. The difference came late in our innings, Bangladesh bowled really well. We got new batters but didn't quite get there with the ball.

10:02pm A game with twists even though the hosts were on top for the majority. Ireland lost the game in the middle overs with the bat. Litton ensured that Bangladesh didn't embrace the same fate. Parvez was out there to help out too. Delany and Adair's wickets made things tricky. Saifuddin watered the tension-fires with a couple of perfectly timed boundaries towards the death. Adair's penultimate over started well but didn't end well. That was match-defining. Word of praise for Delany's near-perfect boundary catch on 10.4, where the towel touching the boundary cushion. How does one even start to make sense of that?!
Nearly a run out attempted at the non-striker's. Batter's still in the crease and points fingers at the bowler who laughs. Crowd don't enjoy it
