| 0.0 : ... Day1, Session 1 ... |
| If you ever thought Bangladesh would go lead the series at the start of the second Test, you should be buying yourself a lottery ticket. What a win and what a performance that was in the first game. The odds were heavily stacked against them but they ended up doing what they never managed to do before. BEAT THE KIWIS IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD! Now though they can look at the bigger picture and that is win a Test series here. A feat which many teams have struggled to do in recent times but Bangladesh |
| The Kiwis, well, despite the loss are overwhelming favourites. Also, this is Ross Taylorâs last game in this format for them so they would love to give him a fitting end. The last game was surely a wake up call for them and knowing this New Zealand side, they will be wanting to hit back hard. They need a win and nothing else will do. Will they level the series? We will find out. Welcome to the coverage of Day 1 of the second Test. |
| TOSS - Bangladesh have won the toss and have OPTED TO FIELD! |
| NEW ZEALAND (PLAYING XI) - Tom Latham (C), Will Young, Devon Conway, Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, Tom Blundell (WK), Daryl Mitchell, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner, Trent Boult. |
| BANGLADESH (PLAYING XI) - Shadman Islam, Mohammad Naim (IN FOR Mushfiqur Rahim), Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque (C), Nurul Hasan, Liton Das (WK), Yasir Ali, Mehidy Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain, Shoriful Islam. |
| We are moments away from the first ball now! First though it is time for the National Anthems! First it is Bangladesh's turn and then the Kiwis. We are done with the Anthems and now the Bangladesh players make their way out to the middle. They are followed by the two, New Zealand openers, Tom Latham and Will Young. Taskin Ahmed has the new ball in hand. Here we go... HOLD ON! Bangladesh have some issue with the ball, maybe it is not the ball they had picked. Out comes the box, the right one has |
| 0.1 : Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham, Starts off with a full one, looking for some swing but there ain't any. Left alone as it is outside off. |
| 0.0 : So both the sides make changes! Two for both. Daryl Mitchell and Matt Henry come in for Kyle Jamieson and Rachin Ravindra! Bangladesh on the other hand, make two as they get in Naim and Hasan for Joy and Rahim. |
| 0.2 : Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham, And again, keeps it outside off, Latham does not fiddle with it. No movement on the first two deliveries. |
| 0.3 : Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham, Latham and the Kiwis are underway! Shorter and on off, Latham pushes it towards cover and gets to the other end. |
| 0.4 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Good carry there! Better from Taskin. A lot closer this time to the off pole, still not enough to make the batter play. He gets it to bounce and zip through nicely. |
| 0.5 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Young now is underway! On the pads, this is worked down to fine leg for one. |
| 0.6 : Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham, FOUR! First boundary of the game and it comes on the 6th ball of the first over! A good start for the Kiwis. This is on the pads, Latham works it down to the fine leg fence. Judging by the first over, Bangladesh's decision to bowl first could prove costly. Seems a good wicket. |
| Who will bowl from the other end then? Shoriful Islam, the left armer will share the new ball. |
| 1.1 : Shoriful Islam to Will Young, Two! Good delivery though to begin with. This one lands on middle and holds its line. Young looks to defend, it goes off the inner half through square leg for a couple. |
| 1.2 : Shoriful Islam to Will Young, Solid! Good length and on off, no movement for the left-hander. Blocked nicely. |
| 1.3 : Shoriful Islam to Will Young, On the pads, Young now works it through square leg and gets to the other end. |
| 1.4 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, FOUR! Up and over! Latham gets his second boundary! This is a gift! Short and wide outside off, it is cut over point for a boundary. |
| 1.5 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, Good leave there! Shoriful Islam gets it fuller this time and just outside off, Latham leaves it alone to the keeper. |
| 1.6 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, Gets this one to hold its line after landing it on off, Latham defends it on the off side. Bangladesh have not started that well here, the first two overs have not been that great. |
| 2.1 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Really good! Length and on off, Young plays it right under his eyes and on the off side. |
| 2.2 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Left on length! Taskin bowls this slightly shorter, just behind a length actually, this one jags back in. Young leaves it on length and it goes over the off pole. You can leave the ball on length here due to the extra bounce. |
| 2.3 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, This is the length you need to bowl on this wicket, ahead of a length and just behind the driving length. The line is also good, on off. Blocked. |
| 2.4 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Well bowled again! Fuller in length but slightly outside off, left alone. |
| 2.5 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Really good fielding! Fuller and on off, Young drives towards mid off. Mominul Haque there dives to his right and saves at least two. |
| 2.6 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Drags his length back this time and bowls it just outside off, left alone. Better over from Taskin. |
| 3.1 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, Just outside off, Latham covers his off pole and leaves it alone. |
| 3.2 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, Solid! On off, Latham defends it on the off side. |
| 3.3 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, Bends his back and bangs it short, extra bounce. Latham defends. |
| 3.4 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, Just outside off then, Latham shoulders arms to it. |
| 3.5 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, On off and on a length, Latham pushes it to covers. |
| 3.6 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, Outside off, left alone. |
| 4.1 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Yet another leave! Need to make the batters play here. Outside off, left alone. |
| 4.2 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, And again, yet another leave! This time it is a good one by the batter! This one jags back in from outside off. Young watches it closely and lets it be. |
| 4.3 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, On middle, Young defends this time. Better, make the batter play a lot more. |
| 4.4 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Angled into the pads, Young misses out, he looks to flick but gets an inside edge onto the pads. |
| 4.5 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Yet another harmless ball, length and outside off, Young shoulders arms to this one. |
| 4.6 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Two more! Fuller and on the pads, this is clipped through mid-wicket for two. |
| 5.1 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, A lot of 'ohhs and ahhs' but that is a very good leave again! Just outside off, Latham covers his off pole and shoulders arms to it. |
| 5.2 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, Gets this one to shape away nicely but from outside off, left alone. |
| 5.3 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, BEATEN! First delivery that has caused trouble to the batter! Length and on off, this lands and moves away. Latham is beaten as he tries to block. |
| 5.4 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, This one is on the pads, Latham works it but to square leg. |
| 5.5 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, Good length again and on off, Latham plays it to covers. |
| 5.6 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, A dot to end! A harmless nut outside off, Latham lets it go to the keeper. |
| 6.1 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Angled into the pads, Young works it to mid-wicket. |
| 6.2 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Taskin continues to keep the ball outside off, Young continues to leave it. |
| 6.3 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, And again, outside off, not played at. The new ball is being wasted. |
| 6.4 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, EDGY FOUR! If there is a line and length you need to bowl on this wicket, then that is it. Straightaway causes problems but luck favors Young. This is slightly fuller and on off, it lands and holds its line. Young looks to defend, it goes off the outside edge, along the ground, past gully and down to the third man fence. |
| 6.5 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Taskin is a quick learner. Hits the length again and on off, Young plays it nice and late and onto the ground. |
| 6.6 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Three good deliveries to end! On a length again and on off, Young lets the ball come to him and then plays it onto the ground. |
| 7.1 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, The stump at the non-striker's end plays as the 12th fielder! Saves a certain boundary! Fuller and on middle, this is driven straight but it hits the stumps at the other end. |
| 7.2 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, Ambitious appeal but turned down! Really good delivery. The Bangladesh bowlers are getting into their own now. Length and on off, this lands and straightens. Latham looks to work it on the leg side. He misses to get hit high on the pads. |
| 7.3 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, Solid! On a length and on off, Latham blocks. |
| 7.4 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, On the stumps, Latham defends. |
| 7.5 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, On off, Latham plays it to covers. |
| 7.6 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, This time gets the bag! A really good shot. Shorter and on off, Latham stands tall and pushes it through covers. Big boundaries so they get three. |
| 8.1 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, FOUR! Flayed away! Welcome into the attack, Ebadot Hossain! Short and wide outside off, this is cut through point for a boundary. |
| 8.2 : Has Ebadot Hossain done the trick again? Latham has been given out LBW but he reviews. Could be a good review. |
| Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, NOT OUT! That is indeed missing leg! Did seem like it would, Latham knew it and hence, he reviewed immediately. This is angled into the pads, Latham looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. A huge shout and the finger is raised. Latham reviews and Hawk Eye shows it is going down leg. Ebadot Hossain bowled it from quite wide of the crease and it always seemed like going down leg. |
| 8.3 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, Shot! Fuller and outside off, Latham leans into it and drives it through covers for two. |
| 8.4 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, Fuller and outside off, Latham leaves it alone. |
| Latham has been given out again! He reviews again. This looks a lot closer. Maybe high? We will have to wait and see. |
| 8.5 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, NOT OUT! Going over! Latham, in the space of 4 balls has been given out twice but has been saved by the reviews. Bangladesh felt this one was dead but the extra bounce on this wicket saves Latham. On off, shorter, this one jags back in. Latham goes back and looks to defend but misses to get hit high on the pads. Another appeal and the finger is raised again. Young walks up to his partner and after a chat, Latham reviews. Hawk Eye shows it to be going over. |
| 8.6 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, Outside off, Latham leaves it alone. End of an action-packed over. |
| 9.1 : Shoriful Islam to Will Young, That is a very good leave! Just outside off, Young lets it be. |

| 9.5 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, Shorter and on off, this is pushed to covers. |
| 9.6 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, On middle, Latham keeps it out. |
| 10.1 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, FOUR! A full toss and it is put away! Ebadot Hossain goes for the yorker but ends up serving a full toss, this is clipped nicely through mid-wicket, boundary. |

| 11.4 : Shoriful Islam to Will Young, Slightly fuller this time, this is pushed to mid off. |
| 11.5 : Shoriful Islam to Will Young, Goes short, probably the first bumper, ducked under. |
| 11.6 : Shoriful Islam to Will Young, Outside off, not played at. |
| DRINKS! A good hour of play for the Kiwis! Their openers have began well and now will want to capitalse on the hard work done by them so far. The wicket seems a really good one and it is now about cashing in for the Kiwi batters. Bangladesh need to bowl a lot more on the stumps, Ebadot Hossain, in the two overs he has bowled has been really good and the others too have to bowl similar lines and lengths to what he has done. Can they make the second part of the first session theirs? |
| 12.1 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, FOUR! He did not even think of running there. Beautiful! Fuller and on off, Latham shows the full face of the bat and times it past mid off for a boundary. |
| 12.2 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, Good length and on off, defended. |
| 12.3 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, Around off, Latham plays it late and towards gully, the fielder dives to his left and stops one. |
| 12.4 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, FOUR! Crisp! What a shot! Second boundary in the over. Ebadot Hossain serves another half volley, this is driven through covers and it races away to the fence. |
| 12.5 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, Outside off, left alone. |
| 12.6 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, On middle, Latham works it wide of mid on for one. |
| 13.1 : Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham, A huge appeal from the keeper but he is the only one doing so! A good delivery by Taskin. Goes full and this one swings in back late from off. Latham gets his front foot out in time and then works it through mid-wicket for one. The keeper thought it was pad. |
| 13.2 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Going down leg! Angled into the pads, Young looks to flick but misses. It hits the thigh pad and then almost deflects onto the stumps. The bowler is appeal but turned down. It goes past the leg pole by a whisker. |
| 13.3 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, On off, blocked. |
| 13.4 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Outside off, comes back in but not enought o make the batter play. |

| 13.6 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Two more! Length and on off, Young pushes it through covers. Two taken. |

| 14.2 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, Outside off, left alone. |
| 14.3 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, FOUR! Up and over! Luck so far has been on the side of New Zealand! Short and wide outside off, Latham slashes at it, it goes off the top edge and over the first slip fielder for a boundary. Fifty up for the Kiwis and it is a solid start for them. |
| 14.4 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, Full and outside off, Latham looks to drive, hits the ground in the attempt and misses the ball. It is taken by the keeper. Half an appeal but nothing. |

| 15.3 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Outside off, left alone. |
| 15.4 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, A little too short again, this one comes in with the angle. Young does well to get his hands out of the way and to the keeper. |
| 15.5 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, On middle, angling in, defended nicely. |
| 15.6 : Taskin Ahmed to Will Young, Another harmless nut outside off, easy leave. |
| 16.1 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, FOUR! Yet another edgy boundary! This is angled in from around the wicket, it lands and moves away. Latham pushes at it, it goes off the outside edge past gully and into the third man fence. |

| 18.1 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, On middle, Young works it to mid-wicket. |
| 18.2 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, Angled into the middle pole, this is defended. |
| 18.3 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, Going over! Ebadot Hossain has been a little short than he needs to bowl on this surface. Again it is behind a length and on middle, Young looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal but turned down. |
| 18.4 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, On off, defended. |
| 18.5 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, Outside off, left alone. |
| 18.6 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, Well played in the end! Length and around off, this one holds its line. Young initially looks to defend but then pulls his bat back seeing the movement. |
| 19.1 : Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham, FOUR! Beautiful shot! Fuller and on off, Latham leans into it and strokes it through covers. This one races away to the fence. |

| 20.4 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, BEATEN! This one comes in with the angle, lands on off and straightens. Latham is beaten as he tries to defend. |
| 20.5 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, DROP AND RUN! Fifty for Latham! The skipper leads from the front in a must-win game. A very good innings so far. Really played the good balls well and has cashed in on the poor deliveries. On a length and on off, Latham pushes it towards cover for one. Soaks in the applause from the crowd here.

| 24.6 : Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, A length ball, on off. Latham solidly blocks it. That will be Lunch on Day 1. |
| End of an excellent session for the hosts and Latham will be thinking, it wasnât that bad a toss to lose. Haque on the other hand, maybe regretting his decision to bowl first already. The visitors have a lot of thinking to do in the break. |
| To be honest, Bangladesh just werenât at their best with the ball. They were way too wide outside off and did not make the most of the new ball. Whenever they hit the right areas, they did manage to cause problems but they werenât consistent enough. Also, they were a tad unlucky too but overall, Haque will be disappointed with the effort of the bowlers. |
| 24.0 : The Kiwi openers on the other hand, were solid. There were a couple of nervous moments for Latham who was given out twice but the decisions were reversed but overall, the two have batted brilliantly. Latham especially who has managed to score quickly. Both are set now and will be eying big scores. Can they continue the dominance after the break? We will find out. Do join us at 6:10 am IST (12:40 am GMT). |
| ... Day 1, Session 2 ... |
| We are back for the post Lunch session. Both the openers walk out for the resumption. Ebadot Hossain to start with the ball. |
| 25.1 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, Hossain starts with a full ball, way outside off. Young punches it to covers. |
| 25.2 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, Length ball, outside off. Young leaves it alone. |
| 25.3 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, Again this is outside off. Young offers no shot. |

| 25.5 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, Good bowling! Length ball, this one straightens up off the deck. Young had a look at it and withdraws his bat very late. |
| 25.6 : Taskin Ahmed to bowl from the other end. |
| Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, DROPPED! 7 runs altogether! Sloppy start from Bangladesh! A length ball, outside off, it lands and nips away. Young has a poke and gets an outside edge to first slip. The second slip fielder dives to his left and goes for it but fumbles and drops. It would have been wise if he had left for the first slip fielder to take it. The ball rolls to fine leg and till then the batters take three runs. There is a throw at the bowler's end but no back up means the ball |
| 26.1 : Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham, FOUR! Beautiful stroke! Full and outside off, this is driven through covers for a boundary. |

| 27.2 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, Length ball, angling outside off. Young shoulders arms. |
| 27.3 : Ebadot Hossain to Will Young, Disappointment for Hossain! 5 runs now! Length and on middle. Young tucks it to short mid-wicket and runs across for a quick single. The fielder has a shy at the bowler's end but misses and overthrow means the Kiwis pick up a boundary. |
| 27.4 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, A full toss, on off. Latham pushes it to cover. |
| 27.5 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, On middle. Defended back to the bowler. Hossain shows his frustration as he has a go at the striker's stump. |
| 27.6 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, FOUR! Boundary off the blade now! Full and on middle. Latham pushes it gently wide of mid on for a boundary. Good start for New Zealand after the Lunch break. |

| Another session credited to New Zealand. Tom Latham and Devon Conway have stitched a partnership of 50 and both are looking solid on the crease. The skipper, Tom Latham continued his dominance from the morning session and got his century in style. Will Young was also looking good as he got his fifty but then one false shot saw him walk back to the pavilion. Devon Conway joined his skipper into the middle and he is looking in good touch so far. |
| Bangladesh were poor with the ball, their fielding also was way below-par. Too many overthrows and lack of consistency have allowed New Zealand to dominate the session. To add to that, they were quite unlucky too and not a lot has gone their way. They need wickets quickly after the break or there will be possibility of them being batted out of the match. Will we see a fight back? Stay tuned for find out. |

| A day thoroughly dominated by the Kiwis! Tom Latham wanted to make a statement after their surprise loss in the last game and he has led from the front. A scintillating knock has seen his side on course to bat the visitors out of the game. |
| Tom Latham was the highlight but Devon Conway too played a delightful knock. The platform though was set by the opening stand as they added 148. Will Young also looked all set for a big score but he fell. Conway and Latham then batted, batted and batted. The two have built a 200-run stand. Latham is eyeing a double ton whereas Conway is one short of his hundred. Also, the rate New Zealand have scored at is quite incredible and they have enough time now to post a huge total and that is what th |
| 89.0 : Bangladesh will probably be rueing the fact that they elected to bowl. They were fooled by the amount of grass on the wicket but there was hardly any assistance from the surface. Also, the bowling wasnât all that great. They failed to hit the right lines and lengths on regular occasions and due to that, they are well behind in the game. Getting back into this game is going to be a big task. They need wickets and in heaps on Day 2 and it will be interesting to see if they do manage to fight bac |
| ... Day 2, Session 1 ... |
| A stellar show with the bat by the New Zealand skipper and Devon Conway has put the Kiwis in an extremely commanding position. They have a lot of time in their hand and will be looking for a massive first innings score. Are we going to see yet another superb batting display from the Kiwis or do Bangladesh have a fight back in store? |
| The visitors however, will be quite demoralised. They might have come into this game with tremendous confidence but the way the Kiwis batted would have surely deflated the morale of the visiting side. After electing to bowl, 349 runs is not what you would want to be conceding in a day and that too picking just the one wicket. They need to remember the fact though that they did trigger a collapse in the first innings of the first game. Can they do so again? They will have to or theyâll have clo |
| We are all set for the action to begin! Tom Latham and Devon Conway walk out to resume their innings. Devon Conway is a run away from a ton. He will take strike and will be facing Ebadot Hossain. Here we go... |

| 95.1 : Ross Taylor walks out to bat in what could well be his last innings for New Zealand! A guard of honor for him from the Bangladesh players as he makes his way to the middle. |
| 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 |

| 96.3 : Ebadot Hossain to Tom Latham, Tap and run! Back of a length and on off, Latham plays it to point and takes one. Gets Taylor on strike. Ebadot Hossain got him in the last game, can he get him here too? |
| 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. |
| 96.5 : Ebadot Hossain to Ross Taylor, On the pads now, Taylor follows the boundary with a single as he works it on the leg side. |

| 97.6 : Shoriful Islam to Ross Taylor, Make that 4 then! So a good comeback by Shoriful Islam after going for that boundary! Length and on off, Taylor plays it to covers. |
| Change! Taskin Ahmed is on! |

| 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. |
| 100.3 : Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham, Outside off, Latham does not fiddle with it. |
| 100.4 : Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham, Another one outside off, not played at. |
| 100.5 : Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham, Third leave in a row as Taskin bowls it outside off again. |

| 101.1 : Ebadot Hossain to Ross Taylor, On off, defended well. |
| 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. |
| 101.3 : Ebadot Hossain to Ross Taylor, Two more! Angled into the pads, Taylor works it fine and takes two towards fine leg. |
| 101.4 : Ebadot Hossain to Ross Taylor, Angled into the pads, Taylor works it through mid-wicket for one. |

| DRINKS! New Zealand continue to strengthen their grip on this game! The day began with Conway getting to his ton. He though soon was dismissed courtesy some brilliance in the field by Mehidy Hasan. Latham though continued along with Taylor. The skipper got his double ton up and the two have taken New Zealand's score to 400. More of the same is what the Kiwis would want. Bangladesh on the other hand, have been a lot better with their lines and lengths this morning but there is not a lot to show i |
| 103.1 : Ebadot Hossain to Ross Taylor, Back of a length and on off, Taylor defends. |
| 103.2 : Ebadot Hossain to Ross Taylor, Well bowled! Goes wide of the crease and angles it into the off pole. Lands and gets it to shape away. Taylor pushes at it and gets beaten. |

| 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 : 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 |

| 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. |
| 112.0 : The day though began with Conwayâs ton and when he and Latham were batting, it seemed like the story of Day 1 is going to be repeated. However, a good piece of work in the field saw that partnership being broken. Taylor and Latham then put on another decent stand. Latham got up his double ton. Once Taylor fell though, Bangladesh have managed to slow the run rate and also gotten Daryl Mitchell and Henry Nicholls cheaply. They would want to continue this good work after the break. New Zealand |
| 112.4 : A decent session for Bangladesh compared to the ones yesterday! They are still well behind in the game but will be pleased with how they have fought on Day 2. Four wickets is what they managed and could have had 5, had Taskin Ahmed held onto the chance given by Latham. |

| New Zealand have declared on 521/6. They were scoring quickly after the wicket of their captain and that suggested, the declaration was on the cards. A mammoth score for New Zealand and all credits to their skipper, Tom Latham, a brilliant innings from the local boy helps post a huge score. An important innings from Tom Blundell as well. He was looking sharp and was scoring in quick time. With contributions from Devon Conway and Will Young, the Kiwis feel they have enough runs to play with. |
| Bangladesh got the breakthrough in this session. Tom Latham scored 252 but then Mominul Haque got his wicket. Taskin Ahmed had a decent outing but failed to take a wicket. Shoriful Islam and Ebadot Hossain took two wickets each. Now it is time for their batters to hang in there as long as possible. |
| We are back for Bangladesh's inning. |
