No run, the batter looks to play that but is comprehensively beaten.
On a good length, outside off, jagging back in sharply, Curtis Campher looks to tuck it to the leg side but misses and is hit high on the pads. Ziaur appeals for LBW but he won't get that. Too high and going down the leg side as well.
Outside leg, Dockrell tries to work it past short fine leg and starts to run straightaway, but is sent back as he cannot find the gap. A wicket and 3 runs from the over, Nangeyalia Kharote's bowling figures read 6-0-26-1 so far.
Tossed up, outside off, Campher drives it towards long off for a run.
Full and down the leg side, George Dockrell comes forward and blocks it towards mid-wicket for a single to get off the mark immediately.
As expected, the big shot results in a wicket. George Dockrell walks in next, at number 7, replacing Tector.
OUT! CAUGHT! Harry Tector gets to fifty and looks to accelerate, but he perishes. Bowled flatter by Nangeyalia Kharote and straighter at the stumps, just a hint of turn away from the right-hander as well. Tector goes down to sweep but it is the wrong shot and he gets a top edge. The ball lobs up around short fine leg, where Mohammad Saleem comes in and takes a comfortable catch. End of a 55-run partnership and Ireland are now 154/5.
Full, around off, Harry Tector works it through mid-wicket for a run.
Short, outside off, Curtis Campher goes back and cuts it to short third. The batters go through for a quick single and a better throw might have had Tector at the striker's end.
Full and straight again, defended back to the bowler once more.
