Bangladesh’s spinners seized control late on the first day of the opening Test, as Ireland crumbled to 270 for 8 after a bright start. Ireland had begun confidently, with Paul Stirling and debutant Cade Carmichael putting together a 96-run second-wicket partnership. Despite this, Stirling and Carmichael negotiated the tricky period, finding boundaries regularly -- especially Stirling through backward point, while Carmichael remained cautious, hitting 3 boundaries. Nahid Rana removed the set Stirling in the first over after lunch, caught at second slip, and Miraz trapped Harry Tector lbw for one. Carmichael reached fifty off 110 balls, while Najmul Hossain Shanto dropped Tucker on 11 late in the second session.
