... DAY 5, SESSION 2 ...

Can the Irish side maintain this remarkable level of defiance for two more full sessions? It's a huge ask, but the stubbornness they've shown this morning suggests they won't go down without a fight. They've proved they are not going down without a battle and will force the game deep into the final day. For now, the dressing room will be buzzing with belief. Tune in after the Lunch Break to see if they can continue to defy the odds and hold on for a historic draw!

Session Summary - 39 overs, 87 runs, and 2 wickets! A strong fightback from Ireland. While they saw the departures of Andy McBrine and Jordan Neill, this session was all about resilience and the outstanding defiance of Curtis Campher. He has been an absolute rock, standing firm with a monumental 63 runs off 203 deliveries, frustrating the Bangladeshi bowlers to no end. Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz managed to strike once each, but the hosts will be feeling the pressure after failing to run through the Irish batting line-up.

Pitch Report - This has been a fantastic test wicket as the batters have got a hundred and the pitch has variable turn and bounce. The cracks have opened up a bit and it will continue to turn. Ireland batters will have to keep the pitch out of the equation and bat long.

Harry Tector is in for a chat as well. He says he is happy to contribute for his side. He says that the job is not done, but he learned a lot. He says that Bangladesh has quality spin bowlers and they have learned a lot from this series.

Shadman Islam is in for a chat. He speaks in his local language. He says that he went through his process and kept on practicing. He says that in Australia, he got indoor facilities and not the outdoor ones. He says that Mushfiqur Rahim helped him to improve his batting.

So, can Ireland's last four wickets somehow defy history, the odds, and the pitch itself to bat out the day for an unthinkable draw? Or will the Tigers' spin-machine, led by Taijul Islam and Hasan Murad, wrap this up quickly to secure a comfortable victory? We shall find out soon.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, will be licking their lips. They have dominated this game, driven by a fantastic declaration yesterday thanks to crucial knocks from Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim. Today, the focus will be solely on their strike bowler, Taijul Islam. He is already the nation's leading Test wicket-taker and will be looking to add more to his tally to end the match swiftly. The hosts' only area of concern might be the fielding lapses we saw late on Day 4.

The visitors, Ireland, finished yesterday at 176/6, still a long, long way from the daunting 509-run target. They need 333 more runs, a chase that seems utterly improbable given the conditions and the quality of the Bangladeshi spin attack. The glimmer of hope lies with the overnight pair of Curtis Campher and Andy McBrine, who must now find a way to not just score, but to survive.

A very warm welcome back for the final, decisive day of this compelling Test match between Bangladesh and Ireland! The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion, or perhaps an inevitable one. Day 4 ended with the hosts, Bangladesh, holding all the cards, needing just four more wickets to seal a famous victory. Their spinners have already done the bulk of the damage, and the cracks on this pitch are only getting wider, making Ireland's task monumental.

... DAY 5, SESSION 1 ...

By the close of play, Ireland had lost three more wickets in the session, and with only 4 wickets remaining, they needed a near-impossible 333 runs more to win, or an entire day of resolute batting to save the Test. Bangladesh, with their spinners wreaking havoc, now stand with one foot firmly planted on a clean sweep of the series. The question remains whether the miracle of a drawn match is possible, or if the Test will conclude early on Day 5. Join us at 3.30 am GMT to find out, and a bit earlier for the buildup. Cheers!

At the Tea break, Ireland were reeling at 88/3, still needing a massive 421 runs. In the final session, the batting woes continued for the tourists as Bangladesh's spinners tightened their grip. Harry Tector was the only beacon of resistance, completing a resilient half-century before eventually falling. Lorcan Tucker soon followed, leaving the tail exposed. Though Curtis Campher and Stephen Doheny managed to hang around for a bit, and Doheny even survived a couple of dropped chances, Taijul Islam ensured his luck ran out.

In the second session, as soon as Mominul Haque fell, Bangladesh declared their innings, setting Ireland a massive target with a lead of 508 runs. The hosts unleashed their spin attack immediately, and the pressure was too much for the Irish openers. Taijul Islam, who became Bangladesh's highest Test wicket-taker during this spell, took care of both Stirling and Balbarnie. Harry Tector and Cade Carmichael then mounted a short counterattack until debutant Hasan Murad struck immediately upon introduction, dismissing Carmichael.

The players walk off the field and that will be STUMPS on Day 4! The fourth day of the Mirpur Test began with Bangladesh firmly in control, leading by a massive margin. However, Ireland managed a brief moment of joy when they dismissed opener Shadman Islam for 78, falling short of his century, and soon after, Najmul Hossain Shanto was also back in the pavilion. Reduced to 174/3, the host's commanding position looked slightly shaky, but this only brought Mominul Haque and the veteran Mushfiqur Rahim together. The pair just kept on batting. Mominul went on to score a superb half-century, inching towards his ton, while Mushfiqur was just shy of his own fifty, following up on his first-innings century in his 100th Test.

OUT! IN THE AIR... TAKEN! Tector tried to take on Murad, after that ripper delivery, to ease off the pressure, but Bangladesh gets their fourth wicket here. This one is fuller, pitching it just outside off and drifts it away. Harry Tector comes down the track to loft it over the bowler, but the ball grips and turns off the track to connect the outer part of the willow. The ball flies flat toward the front of the mid off, where Mushfiqur Rahim dives forward to scoop the catch safely. The set batter, Harry Tector, has to walk back to his dugout, scoring 50 off 80 balls.

The mid on fielder gets to the ball throws it to the keeper. Skipper Shanto is not happy with this.

... DAY 4, SESSION 3 ...

Ireland still have a lot of time to achieve their target, but they need to make sure that the number of wickets stays as it is, whereas Bangladesh just need to go on their attacking mode and cash out as many scalps as they can on Day 4. Stick around with us as the last session of the day will commence in a few moments.

However, Cade Carmichael and Harry Tector had a huge job to protect their wicket till the Tea break. Both batters tried to rotate their strikes as much as they could, but we have to say, the track has provided some spin assist to Bangladesh's spinners. Just when Carmichael and Harry Tector crossed their partnership off 50 runs, Cade gave away the third wicket in the 20th over. Ireland have posted 88 runs on the board, but they still have 421 runs to chase.

Tea has been taken on Day 4 and it's not a breaking news that Bangladesh are leading the race to win this second Test. After the Lunch break, Bangladesh continued their batting and declared their inning after a humongous lead of 508. The second inning of Ireland started off on a bad note. They were kept under pressure by the Bangladeshi bowler from the moment they stepped on the field. However, Andy Balbirnie was the man who was dismissed first in the 6th over and just after a couple of overs, the Irish skipper, Paul Stirling lost his wicket too.
