Bangladesh wrapped up Ireland’s first innings for 286 on the second morning of the Sylhet Test, needing just 14 balls to claim the remaining two wickets.
Taijul Islam struck early to remove Matthew Humphrey before Hasan Mahmud cleaned up Barry McCarthy, finishing with 2 for 47.
Ireland had resumed on 270 for 8 after an eventful opening day that saw debutant Cade Carmichael (59) and Paul Stirling (60) lead their scoring.
The visitors’ lower order offered brief resistance through Barry McCarthy and young Jordan Neill, who showed good temperament before falling to debutant Hasan Murad, who impressed with 2 wickets.
Despite several dropped catches on Day One, Bangladesh’s bowlers maintained discipline to restrict Ireland below 300 on a batting-friendly wicket.
