Scorecard
Harry Tector hit a half-century as Ireland pushed Bangladesh into the fifth day of their second Test in Mirpur. A Bangladesh victory still seems likely with the hosts needing just four wickets and Ireland chasing 333 to spring a surprise.
The match followed a Friday pause after a 5.7 magnitude earthquake hit Dhaka, briefly halting play on Day Three.
Bangladesh extended their series lead by taking the first Test by an innings and 47 runs. The second Test will be followed by three T20 internationals.
Match outlook
Bangladesh lead the two-match series 1-0 and look to seal the series in Mirpur, while Ireland will aim to pull off a memorable chase on Sunday morning.
