Bangladesh opener Najmul Hossain Shanto departed for a first-ball duck in the very first over of the innings after the Tigers bundled out the visitors in the final session of the first day of the one-off Test against Ireland at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. 

Mark Adair bowled a length delivery that nipped in off the seam. Shanto looked to cut it but ended up chopping it onto the stumps. 

The dismissal brought Mominul Haque to the crease, with Tamim Iqbal unbeaten at the other end.
