Dhaka, Nov. 21 -- Bangladesh secured a big lead of 211 runs in the ongoing Dhaka Test against Ireland on Friday.

Taijul Islam took four wickets for 76 runs to help bowl Ireland out for 265, with Lorcan Tucker top-scoring with 75.

Khaled Ahmed and Hasan Murad bagged two wickets each.

Bangladesh had batted first and posted 476, with Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das hitting a century apiece.

Mushfiqur's ton was a special milestone as he reached the mark in the 100th Test of his career spanning more than two decades.

Bangladesh won the first match of the series in Sylhet, meaning a win-or even a draw-will secure the series for the hosts.
