Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam and pacer Hasan Mahmud claimed one wicket each as Bangladesh wrapped up Ireland's first innings early on the second day of the first Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
Resuming the day at 270 for eight, Ireland were dismissed for 286, facing just 14 balls on the morning of Day 2.
Bangladesh ended the opening day with a sense of relief after their spinners engineered a superb comeback in the final session.
The hosts delivered an impressive bowling performance after tea, seizing four crucial wickets to derail the visiting side. Ireland, who had been cruising at 203 for four, were suddenly pegged back by the relentless spin attack of Taijul Islam, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, and pacer Hasan Mahmud. Mehedi Hasan Miraz was the standout, claiming three of the wickets on the day, while Hasan Mahmud and Taijul Islam took two wickets each.
