Shanto concluded that the 2-0 win was a good sign for Bangladesh cricket and vowed to keep working hard to make their fans proud.

PLAYER OF THE SERIES - Taijul Islam. Islam dedicated his Player of the Series award to the next generation, emphasizing Bangladesh's growth as a Test team. He credited his longevity to adapting and trying new things, and hoped younger players would surpass his milestone of 250 Test wickets. Taijul also appreciated the Mirpur pitch, saying it played a crucial role in the series, and hoped for more pitches like it to help Bangladesh develop as a Test team.

He concluded that the tour had been a valuable learning experience for the team.

Stay tuned for the presentation ...

Curtis Campher's gritty 71 unbeaten off 259 balls was the highlight, frustrating Bangladesh's spinners and keeping the Test alive till the end. He was ably supported by Gavin Hoey, who put up a great fight. Despite wickets falling at the other end, Campher's resolute batting made a draw look possible, but Hasan Murad's late strike ultimately sealed Bangladesh's win. Kudos to Campher for his marathon effort!

Ireland displayed stubborn resistance on Day 5. Resuming the day, Andy McBrine eventually fell to Taijul Islam, and Jordan Neill injected aggression for a while before Mehidy Hasan Miraz knocked him over. However, the session belonged to the resolute Curtis Campher, who stood like a rock, standing unbeaten on 63 from 203 balls. The Ireland tail managed to frustrate the Bangladeshi spinners and dragged the Test into the post-lunch session.

Facing this daunting chase in the fourth innings, Ireland's batters struggled against the spin. Taijul Islam, who proved his class throughout the match, became Bangladesh's all-time leading Test wicket-taker by removing both openers. Despite a responsible half-century from Harry Tector, wickets continued to tumble. By the end of day 4, with Curtis Campher and Andy McBrine at the crease, Ireland had lost six wickets for 176 runs.

Opting not to enforce the follow-on, Bangladesh batted aggressively in their second innings to build an unassailable lead. Openers Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Shadman Islam laid a perfect foundation with a 119-run stand, and the innings was quickly accelerated by Mominul Haque's 87 and an unbeaten Mushfiqur Rahim's 53. As soon as Haque fell, Bangladesh declared at 297/4, setting Ireland a monumental and effectively impossible target of 509 runs on a cracking pitch. Gavin Hoey managed to take two wickets for the visitors.

When Ireland came out to bat in their first innings, they faced an uphill struggle but showed incredible fight. Lorcan Tucker was the rock, scoring a courageous 75, while the middle order offered resistance. Despite their best efforts, they were eventually bowled out for 265, thanks to the consistent pressure from the Bangladesh bowlers, led by Taijul Islam's four wickets. Bangladesh held a healthy first-innings lead of 211.

Clean Sweep completed! The hosts have dominated both the tests and completed the whitewash by winning this test series 2-0! The match began with Bangladesh's first innings setting a massive benchmark. They posted a huge total of 476, largely powered by exceptional centuries from Mushfiqur Rahim's century in his 100th Test and Litton Das' 128, with vital support from Mominul Haque. Ireland's Andy McBrine was the pick of the bowlers, achieving a brilliant six-wicket haul.

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.

... 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.
