He nailed it in the previous delivery but this time ends up slicing it to point where Mohammad Naim takes it low and nicely. Bangladesh will look to build on this now. Will Young will be disappointed as he failed to convert this into a big one. |
| 38.6: Mehidy Hasan to Devon Conway, FOUR! Good timing from Devon Conway to get off the mark! This is full and outside off. Conway drives it gently through covers and it races away to the fence. That brings up 150 for New Zealand as well. |

| 57.4: Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, FOUR! Lovely shot! Superb control! Short and on middle, Latham stands tall, gets on top of the bounce and pulls it through square leg. There is a fielder in the deep but he has no chance. |
| 56.4: Mehidy Hasan to Devon Conway, FOUR! Really good shot! Bangladesh just can't keep it tight at the moment or we should say the Kiwis are not letting the bowlers settle. The reverse sweep is out and it is played brilliantly through backward point for a boundary. |
| 57.5 : 57.5: Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, FOUR! Just over! Latham is in some touch here! Back-to-back boundaries for him! Short and on off, Latham guides it just over the leaping gully fielder for a boundary. Runs are flowing after the break too. |

| 95.1 : 95.1: Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, OUT! RUN OUT! Conway is short and this is probably the kind of spark Bangladesh needed. These two just did not look like getting out and a run out was probably the only way this partnership could have been broken. A slight hesitation costs Conway and ends a brilliant knock from him. On off, Latham looks to drop and run. There is a small hesitation but they go for it. Mehidy Hasan gets to the all, picks it up and with a dive forward, hits the stumps at the stri |
| 96.4 : 96.4: Ebadot Hossain to Ross Taylor, FOUR! That is beautiful! What a shot from Taylor to get off the mark! This is not a bad delivery, it is on a length and around off, Taylor pushes it on the up through covers and this one races away to the fence. |

| 100.2 : 100.2: Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham, FOUR! Classy! What a shot to get your double ton up! In front of his home crowd, the skipper has led from the front. Everyone here is on their feet applauding what has been a fine, fine effort. A game which the Kiwis have to win and the skipper steps up. This is by no means a half volley, on a length and around off, Latham times it through covers for a boundary. |
| 101.2: Ebadot Hossain to Ross Taylor, FOUR! That is a gift and it is put away! Full and on off, Taylor leans into this one and creams it through extra cover. The man at mid off moves to his left and does put in a dive but his effort goes in vain. |
| 104.2: Taskin Ahmed to Ross Taylor, FOUR! Catch it is the cry but that is in the gap! Outside off, Taylor slashes hard at it, it goes off the outside edge, between gully and first slip.

| 105.4 : 105.4: Ebadot Hossain to Ross Taylor, OUT! TAKEN! Ross Taylor has been dismissed and this could well be the final walk off in whites for Ross Taylor for the Kiwis. The whole crowd is on their feet to applaud one of their best. A soft dismissal. This is angled into the pads, Taylor looks to flick it but it goes more off the inner half and Shoriful Islam takes it at square leg. Taylor was looking to be aggressive throughout his innings and falls in that process. Henry Nicholls walks out to bat. |
| 109.1 : 109.1: Ebadot Hossain to Henry Nicholls, OUT! There is a spike as the ball passes the bat and Bangladesh have got another one. Ebadot Hossain gets his second and Henry Nicholls bags a duck, his poor form continues. This is on a length and around off, this lands and then jags back in. It goes off something to the keeper who takes it and appeals. The umpire shakes his head. Mominul Haque takes the review. Replays show that it is off the inside edge. A good little passage of play here for the visit |
| 110.3 : 110.3: Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, FOUR! Up and over! This is short and wide outside off, Latham stands tall and cuts it over point for a boundary. |
| 112.4 : 112.4: Shoriful Islam to Daryl Mitchell, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Bangladesh end the session on a high! Shoriful Islam's hard work has been rewarded with a wicket. A length ball, outside off. Daryl Mitchell has a poke away from the body but the ball just nips slightly away and takes the outside edge to the keeper. Not sure why Daryl Mitchell took it upstairs as there was a noise. The review is wasted as the UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball passes the blade. That will be Lunch on Day 2. |
| 113.2 : 113.2: Mehidy Hasan to Tom Latham, FOUR! First runs after the break. Full and on middle. Latham whips it through mid-wicket for a boundary. Beats the diving fielder there. |

| 121.3 : 121.3: Mehidy Hasan to Tom Blundell, FOUR! Runs coming at a fast rate now! Short ball, on off. Blundell punches off the back foot through covers for a boundary. Really good use of the feet. |
| 122.4 : 122.4: Taskin Ahmed to Tom Blundell, FOUR! Wayward! Touch short, outside off. Tom Blundell arcs back and cuts it through point for a boundary. Taskin Ahmed is lacking consistency here. |

| 125.4 : 125.4: Mominul Haque to Tom Latham, OUT! TAKEN! Tom Latham's inning comes to an end! All of the Bangladesh players' come towards him to appreciate his innings.

A length ball, scrambled seam from Boult, outside off. Islam has a poke away from the body and it takes the outside edge to second slip where Tom Latham takes it. Could have left it alone. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Tim Southee to Mohammad Naim, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Mohammad Naim was facing the fire and walks back to the pavilion on a duck. A length ball, outside off, the extra bounce does the trick as the ball shoots off the deck. Mohammad Naim hops and tries to block it but it takes the inside edge and rattles the stumps. New Zealand on the front foot early on. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Trent Boult to Najmul Hossain Shanto, OUT! Boult and Latham again! He is in mood here. Proving very lethal for the Bangladeshi batters.This in on a length and on middle, this one nips touch away off the deck. Najmul Hossain Shanto is square up completely as he looks to flick but the ball takes the outside edge to second slip where Tom Latham holds onto it. Great start for the Kiwis.

| 6.1 : 6.1: Tim Southee to Mominul Haque, OUT! KNOCKED OUT! Through the gates! Bangladesh in all sorts of trouble here! The skipper goes for a duck! Southee hurls and serves it from over the wicket.

| 11.2 : 11.2: Trent Boult to Liton Das, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Number 5 down now. Bangladesh falling apart all too quickly. Boult has his third. Yet another full one, it is outside off. Das looks to drive it through the off side but this one shapes back in and hence, it goes off the inside edge and low to the keeper who takes a good catch. 299 Test wickets for Boult. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: Trent Boult to Yasir Ali, FOUR! That is clipped away nicely! Full and on middle, this one also tails back in. Yasir gets his front pad out of the way and works it through mid-wicket for another boundary. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: Trent Boult to Yasir Ali, FOUR! Consecutive boundaries and this one is better than the last one! Fuller and on middle, this one shapes back in too. Yasir plays it with the straight bat, through mid on and this one races away to the fence. |

| 28.6: Tim Southee to Nurul Hasan, OUT! LBW! New Zealand have broken the partnership and it is Southee who gives the breakthrough. It looked plumb of the naked eye.

Hasan takes the review and the Ball Tracker shows umpire's call on wickets hitting. |

| 26.2 : 26.2: Neil Wagner to Najmul Hossain Shanto, OUT! TAKEN! It is Wagner who comes out on top in his battle with Shanto! He is pumped up and that is yet another good catch, this time by Boult and New Zealand have a wicket a few minutes before Lunch. Just what they would have wanted. The barrage of short balls works. Shanto got a few runs from the pull shot but Wagner continues to bang it in. Shanto pulls again, this time flat and towards Boult. It goes to him at fine leg quickly but he hangs on. Can |

| 33.5 : 33.5: Kyle Jamieson to Mominul Haque, FOUR! Edged and it goes over. Luck favouring Bangladesh at the moment. This is full and outside off. Mominul Haque looks to drive, he goes hard at it. This flies off the outside edge and over the slip cordon for a boundary. |
| 36.1 : 36.1: Tim Southee to Mohammad Naim, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Finally the edge is found and it goes to hand! Not exactly to hand as it is a catch manufactured and what a grab it is. Tom Latham, you beauty! That is a screamer. Wow! Southee manages to break the stand that was going along nicely. This catch will lift the Kiwis. Southee persists with the line outside off. This is fuller and it is the tempter. Naim falls for it and goes for the drive. This flies off the outside edge to the left of Latham |
| 37.4 : 37.4: Kyle Jamieson to Mominul Haque, FOUR! Over the top! It goes off the shoulder. Shortish and on off, this one takes off. Haque looks to defend but it goes off the shoulder, over the slip cordon and into the third man fence. |

| 13.5 : 13.5: Kyle Jamieson to Shadman Islam, OUT! TAKEN! That is a superb catch by Tom Blundell! Kyle Jamieson gets the breakthrough New Zealand wanted. They had to wait for quite some time for the first wicket as compared to the first innings but they finally have got it. Shadman Islam falls in a very soft manner. He will be gutted with himself. This is down the leg side, he looks to flick but his bottom hand comes off the handle in the process. It goes off the fine edge to the right of Tom. He dives |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Kyle Jamieson to Najmul Hossain Shanto, FOUR! Off the mark in style! Full and on middle, Shanto clips it brilliantly through mid-wicket and this one races away to the fence. |

| 44.4 : 44.4: Neil Wagner to Mominul Haque, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Taylor holds onto it and this time there is no doubt. Haque departs. He always seemed uncomfortable with those deliveries outside off. He chased quite a few and missed quite a few, a couple of edges were also found which did not go to hand but his luck runs out this time. Wagner goes full and outside off, a litltle bit of shape away. Haque goes after it, it goes off the outside edge and it is taken by Taylor at first slip. New Zealand 6 w |
| 46.4: Neil Wagner to Yasir Ali, OUT! TAKEN! Wagner has another one and New Zealand now are managing to take wickets at regular intervals. They are just 5 wickets away now. Yasir Ali, who was quite solid in the first innings, falls to a nasty nut from Wagner. It is short and on the body, Yasir looks to fend it away again but does so uncomfortably. It goes off the splice and lobs to Latham at second slip. He takes a dolly. You just can't do a lot about such deliveries, you know they are coming but |

| 58.6 : 58.6: Kyle Jamieson to Liton Das, FOUR! Short and on the body, Das pulls, it goes through mid-wicket for yet another boundary. A huge over for Bangladesh comes to an end, 17 from it. |

| 65.3 : 65.3: Daryl Mitchell to Liton Das, FOUR! Excellent timing! Short of a length, on middle. Liton Das pulls it with disdain to deep square leg and bags a boundary. He will be eyeing a ton here. |

Liton Das is caught at the crease and looks to work it on the leg side but misses. He gets hit on the pads. Kyle Jamieson appeals and the umpire straightaway raises his dreaded finger.
