0.0 : First of all, Happy New Year to everyone! First day of the new year and it kick starts with the longest format of the game. The World Test Championship winners will start their home summer against Bangladesh in aÂ two-match Test series. The first Test will take place at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui. On that note, welcome to the coverage.

Bangladesh come into the series as underdogs but will be eager to punch above their weights despite their poor record. Mominul HaqueÂ has a massive responsibility on his shoulders and has lot to prove in this series. He will already be without their main gun, Shakib Al Hasan and will also miss the services of Tamim Iqbal. While MahmudullahÂ has retired from the format and thus, a lot relies on the skipper and the veteran Mushfiqur Rahim. Given all that, it is going to take a herculean effort fro

... MATCH DAY ...

New Zealand are coming into this series after a 1-0 loss against India. The same side against whom they won the inaugural World Test Championship. Now their next challenge is Bangladesh. Tom Latham is set to don the captaincy hat as Kane Williamson is ruled out of the series with a shoulder injury. The Kiwis' home record against Bangladesh is superb as they have played 9 Tests and have won all of them. Can they continue their home dominance against the Bangla Tigers?

On the flip side, Bangladesh have had a disastrous 2021 atleast in the longest format of the game. They have lost five Tests, drew one and their solitary win came against Zimbabwe. To add salt to the injury, their record in New Zealand is something they wouldn't want to look at. Can they turn things this time around?

New Zealand will be without Kane Williamson and also have surprisingly left out Ajaz Patel who claimed all 10 wickets against India in the first innings of the second Test. But Tom Latham will be with his entire frontline pace attack. Devon Conway is also set to return after an injury. This series will be special for another reason, as veteran batter Ross Taylor announced retirement from international cricket and this two Tests will be his final hurrah in the longest format.

TOSS - Up goes the coin and it lands in the favor of Bangladesh. They have elected to BOWL first.Â

New Zealand (Playing XI) - Tom Latham (C), Will Young, Devon Conway, Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, Tom Blundell (WK), Rachin Ravindra, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner, Trent Boult.

After a slow start, Conway and Young managed to stable the ship for their side. A bright start by the visitors but they could not capitalize on it.

It was not a good start for the hosts, they lost their skipper, Tom Latham, pretty early on. Then a steady stand between Conway and Young made sure they remain unscathed till Lunch. Certainly after the drinks break, the runs came in a convincingly good rate for the Kiwis. The pair stitched a crucial partnership of 65 runs.

Bangladesh seamers were on the money in the opening hour of the session and got an important wicket of Latham. Later, they were unable to cause much threat and leaked handful runs. The bowlers though kept their lines and lengths tight just to build some pressure on the hosts. Even though they were not rewarded, the visitors would look to continue on their good way. Will the Bangla bowlers be able to get a couple of wickets? Or will the hosts remain solid in their defense? To find out, do join us

Tom BlundellÂ walks back dejected. THAT WILL BE STUMPS ON DAY 1!Â

Bangladesh started the first hour of the day really well but looked to have lost their track as the ball kept getting old and there was no movement off it. The pitch too got better and better to bat.Â Bangladesh bowlers toiled very hard and gained rewards with three wickets in the final session.Â That would certainly boost their confidence after ending the day on a positive note.

What a great comeback by the visitors in the final session of the day. It was all about New Zealand in the first two sessions, but the hosts lost Devon Conway who was well set and then lostÂ Tom Blundell at the stroke of Stumps.Â Bangladesh would be happy with their bowling performanceÂ and would hope to end things early on Day 2.

After losing Tom LathamÂ early on and Will YoungÂ before Tea, Devon Conway and Ross Taylor batted really well and the runs kept coming at a brisk rate after the Tea break. Taylor was struggling to find the middle of the blade initially but got into his rhythm and struck some beautiful shots but unfortunately, he slipped out once he tried to up his ante. Later, Nicholls came in and made his intentions clear with his aggressive shots. But soon after, Conway was sent back as well and at the stroke

Devon ConwayÂ is up for a chat. HeÂ says that it was very challenging to bat upfront and the wicket was green. Mentions that it got a lot better lately and is happy to contribute. Tells that BangladeshÂ bowled pretty well and it was all about being patient. Adds that they are disappointed that they lost Tom BlundellÂ at the end but feels that they are still in a strong position. On his wicket, he saysÂ that it is the last way one wants to get out after all the hard work but that's how it goes.

Â Right then! The visitors will be happy with the wickets they picked in the final session and would look to build on the same. New Zealand, on the flip side, would want Henry NichollsÂ to bat for long and get close to the 350-run mark. The action continues on Sunday,Â January 2, 2022. The first ball will be bowled at 3.30 am IST (10 pm GMT, previous day). But the build-up will begin much in advance. Do join us for that. Till then, cheers!

... Day 2, Session 1 ...

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the first Test between New Zealand and Bangladesh. New Zealand will be fairly satisfied with the runs they have on the board while Bangladesh would be happy too as the bowlers chipped up 3 wickets in the final session of Day 1 and didn't let their opponents run away with the game. Let's see what Day 2 has in store for us.

Bangladesh on the other hand, need wickets. Shoriful Islam was the pick of the lot and needs support from the other end to scalp the remaining 5 wickets and try to restrict New Zealand under 300. An interesting first session coming up shortly.

We are set for the first session! The players stride out to the middle. Henry NichollsÂ walks out in the middle and is accompanied by Rachin Ravindra. Ebadot HossainÂ to complete his over.Â

0.0 : New Zealand would want to post a big first innings total.

In posting a hundred on Saturday, Conway became just the sixth man in history and the first since Michael Clarke in 2004 to score a century in his first Tests at both home and away.

The first session clearly belonged to the visitors. First, they bowled out New Zealand before Lunch and later they managed to remain unscathed till the break. New Zealand could not add on their tally with the blade.

A team performance by the visitors! BangladeshÂ needed five wickets and it did not take much time for them to bowl out New ZealandÂ at 328 runs. All thanks to Mehidy Hasan. He was the star with the ball, as he picked up three wickets. This wouldn't have been possible without the early strike by Shoriful Islam. The onus is now on their batters to see of the next session without losing any wickets. But the Kiwis have a really solid arsenal when it comes to the bowling department. An enthralling se

Young slipped out after his half-ton while Conway snatched his first ton at home.Â Later, Nicholls played a crucial knock to make sure to cross the 300-run mark.

End of a really good day for Bangladesh. It was their bowlers who set the tone and their batters continued the momentum. New Zealand were not able to cause much problems for the batters and Bangladesh batters cruised on this wicket.

Bangladesh would've loved to see Shanto and Joy to see off the day but the former was sent back. Although, Joy and Haque made sure they do not loose any more wickets till Stumps. The runs came in at a brisk rate for the visitors and had some luck riding along with them. They now trail by 153 runs and the wicket is a friendly pitch to bat on as well. The batters would be eager to come out in the morning on Day 3.Â

Right then.Â Bangladesh have their noses in front and would hope to continue on their merry way. While, the Kiwis will be looking forward for the secondÂ new ball to trouble the batters. The action continues on Monday at 3.30 am IST (10.00 pm GMT, previous day). Till then take care and goodbye.Â

Not the day New Zealand would like! Traditionally, in New Zealand, teams always struggle to bat first and the team batting second gets the best of the pitches to bat on. However, given the home side's dominance in the last few years, it has managed to post totals in excess of 400 consistently while batting first and dismiss oppositions under 200 if bowling first. 2022 has not quite gone to that plan yet.Their bowlers toiled really hard in the sun but the batters were always up for the task and n

... Day 3, Session 1 ...

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 3 of this intriguing Test between New ZealandÂ and Bangladesh. It's been a tough battle between the two sides so far, but Day 2 completely belonged to the visitors. They would be looking to continue the same way. WhileÂ New ZealandÂ will be looking for some quick wickets and take things under control.

The World Test Champions had an off day, they lost quick wickets and were restricted to a score below 350, their bowlers too were not at their best. They would be hoping to pick up some early wickets in the day and put the pressure back on Bangladesh. The visitors have been exceptional so far, Mahmudul Hasan JoyÂ and Shanto have given them the desired start. Mahmudul Hasan JoyÂ is still out there and will be looking to carry the same kind of form.

Another thrilling session of this intriguing Test! The tables have turned in the second session. New Zealand were on top at the end of the first session, but the second session was completely dominated by the visitors. BangladeshÂ trailÂ by only 21 runs now and they also have 6 wickets in hand. They are surely in the diver's seat for now, but we may see another twist coming into the final session.Â

The hosts have been completely outplayed here, they failed to grab any wickets in this session and are in desperate need of a wicket. Mominul HaqueÂ and Liton DasÂ have looked calm and composed. While Das has been scoring runs at a quick rate, Mominul HaqueÂ has been patient in the middle and is leading from the front. The duo has scored over 100 runs together and haveÂ steadied the ship for their side.Â Coming into the final session, the hosts will look to break this partnership and comeback mu

New Zealand tried everything out of the box, but Bangladesh batters had all the answers and negotiated really well with the blade. But in the final hour of the final session, Boult put his hand up and struck in quick successionÂ to get rid of both the set batters, Mominul HaqueÂ and Liton Das. But Bangladesh have done really well to keep the runs ticking and extend their lead to 73 runs.

This has been the longest ever Test innings played by Bangladesh overseas. This tells you everything about their batting performance today. Even though they lost two scalps in the morning session. Haque and Das made sure they get the repair work done and get their noses in front. The pair batted throughout the second session and wouldâve loved to repeat the same in the final session but that was not the case. Both the batsmen were sent back in their 80s and would be absolutey gutted. Later tho

A late joy for the hosts, as they saw the backs of the two set batters in the final session, thanks to Trent Boult. The bowlers were made to toil really hard today and these couple of wickets would make them happy but not enough as the visitors keptÂ piling on the pressure with every run, they put on the scoreboard.Â The Kiwis would look to pick up the remaining wickets quickly and come out to bat as soon as possible.

Right then. Bangladesh have batted really well to cut down the deficit and would just aim to get as many runs as possible on the morning of Day 4. The action continues on Tuesday at 3.30 am IST (10.00 pm GMT, previous day).Â But as you all know you can join us early for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Hello and a very warm welcome to the coverage of Day 4 of the first Test between New Zealand and Bangladesh. So far, we have witnessed enthralling 3 days of Test cricket and we go into Day 4 with the tourists having the edge over the Kiwis. Yes, you read that right. It is Bangladesh who lead by 73 runs in the first innings and the hosts need to make sure that Bangladesh do not run away with the lead on Day 4.

... Day 4, Session 1 ...

New Zealand bowlers bowled their hearts out on Day 3 but it was only Trent BoultÂ and Neil WagnerÂ who managed to get into the wickets column. Surprisingly, the Kiwis have bowled 156 overs so far and yet they haven't been able to take those 10 wickets, especially in home conditions. This sums up the entire story and also tells us how well the tourists have batted against the pace attack of New Zealand. The Kiwi bowlers would be a bit weary coming into Day 4 but they will need to make sure that t

Bangladesh have made their intentions very clear in the first Test by putting on a show with the bat and they are firmly in the driver's seat now. Their top order hasÂ done a terrific job of batting out time as well as piling up runs as the number of runs scored in the first innings decide the outcome of the match more often than not. The tourists now have a decent lead but the overnight batters will be eager toÂ bat long and score as many runs as possible so that they get a substantial lead whi

BANGLADESH END ON 458 and THEY LEAD BY 130 RUNS.

End of a brilliant innings forÂ BangladeshÂ and they would be extremely pleased with their effort. They have batted their skins out against the Kiwis and they would have certainly taken this score at the start of the Test.

Bangladesh have batted really well and it hasn't been a one man show. All of their batters have chipped in and that has resulted in them posting a huge total on the board. The only thing that didn't go their way is that none of their batters managed to get a hundred. However, Mominul Haque will be more than pleased with the way they have replied to New Zealand's first innings score.

Well, New ZealandÂ had to toilÂ hard in the middle to get those 10 wickets and they must be drained out. All of their pace bowlers bowled more than 30 overs and they had to work hard for their wickets as the tourists showed great fight.

...Third innings...

We are back for the third innings! A tricky little phase for the Kiwi opening batters.

0.1 : Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham,Â NOT OUT! A huge appeal straightaway! Taskin AhmedÂ serves a length ball, nipping back in sharply on middle.

2.6 : Mehidy Hasan to Tom Latham, Fuller, outside off. Tom LathamÂ pushes it towards cover. THAT WILL BE LUNCH ON DAY 4!

BangladeshÂ started well on Day 4 as Mehidy HasanÂ and Yasir AliÂ continued to frustrate the Kiwis. Mehidy HasanÂ got lucky as he survived a couple of LBW calls but did not give away his wicket easily. However, once Hasan fell, BangladeshÂ managed to add only 13 runs after that and got bundled out for 458. Although, they have posted a mammoth total on the board and it is now upto their bowlers to make early inroads and make sure that they do not give away their momentum. We are in for another ex

The hosts had a tricky three-over phase to face and they have managed to go into Lunch unscathed. A lot depends on how New Zealand batters approach their innings now as they still trail by 120 runs. They will need to make sure that they cut down the deficit without losing too many wickets and then pile on as many runs as possible. There is still some swing and seam on offer for the bowlers and the Bangladeshi bolwers would look to exploit it to their advantage.

62.6 : It is Bangladesh all the way! There's no stopping them in this Test. They have been dominating throughout this Test and will be going into Day 5 in a commanding position.

The Kiwis have ended Day 4 with a lead of just 17Â runs and have 5 wickets in hand to put up a defendable total and save this Test which looks like an uphill task for them going ahead.

Coming into the final session, New Zealand would have never thought of being in such kind of trouble. They have managed to lose three wickets in quick succession and face a tough challenge ahead of them. Their veteran, Ross Tayor, is still out there in the middle. He has looked solid in the middle but he is also riding his luck as he was dropped by Shadman Islam off Mehidy Hasan. Probably, a bit too optimistic here, but the hosts will be hoping that TaylorÂ sticks around till the end and they ge

Dropped catches, misfields, run out chances missed, but still, Bangladesh sit comfortably in the driver's seat. They have been scintillating with the ball, Ebadot HossainÂ in particular. He has kept things simple, attacked the sticks, been aggressive, and has been rewarded for doing so. He got the important breakthrough of Will Young, and followed it up with two quick wickets of Henry NichollsÂ and Tom Blundell. Bangladesh are just inches away fromÂ creating history. They will be hoping to wrap

Right then! BangladeshÂ have outplayed New Zealand yet again on Day 4. This Test match keeps getting interesting with each passing day! We could be able to witness something extraordinary on Day 5. The action continues on Wednesday, 5th January, 2022Â at 3.30 am IST (10.00 pm GMT, previous day). But as you all know, you can join us well in advanceÂ for the buildup. Till then, take care and goodbye!

...Day 5, Session 1...

Hello and a very warm welcome to the coverage of Day 5 of the first Test between New Zealand and Bangladesh. Day 4 saw the tourists continue their dominance in this Test and they are now on the verge of going 1-0 up in this two-match Test series. However, New Zealand are World Test Champions for a reason and they will give it their all on the final day of this Test.

Bangladesh bowlers were brilliant on Day 4 and they were rewarded late in the day where Ebadot HossainÂ picked wickets in a cluster and ensured that Bangladesh stay in the pole position. There was spin on offer for the tourists' spinners and they bowled well but luck didn't go their way and the dropped catch of Ross Taylor didn't help Bangladesh's cause either. It was Ebadot Hossain who turned the game on its head in the final session and New Zealand's batters looked clueless in the middle. They

New Zealand are World Test Champions but they were blown away a bit by the tourists on Day 4 and find themselves in some serious trouble coming into Day 5. They managed to bundle out Bangladesh just before Lunch on Day 4 and also started reasonably well with the bat. Will Young and Ross Taylor stitched together a crucial partnership of 73 runs but then came Ebadot Hossain's magical spell which completely shifted the momentum in Bangladesh's favour. Ross Taylor is still at the crease and New Zeal
