A fine knock from Najmul Hossain Shanto comes to an end. It’s a floated full delivery outside off; Shanto stays rooted and lofts it towards long-on but fails to get enough elevation or power. Nathan Smith judges it well near the boundary and takes a clean catch.
MASSIVE Moment! Najmul Shanto has notched up a hundred. What a time and situation to get to the milestone. He has held his nerves in tricky situation and got that magic figure. WHAT A KNOCKKK!
WICKET! A momentary lapse ends a superb innings. Litton makes room, but Lennox follows him with a length ball on leg stump. He looks to go over extra cover, only for the ball to turn away just enough to beat the outside edge and hit the leg stump. A century was there for the taking, but Litton falls against the run of play after a brilliant knock.
This has been a brilliant stand for Bangladesh after the way they started. The home side has gone past the 150-run mark with Shanto and Das still there at the crease. New Zealand need to break this partnership
Najmul Shanto takes the aerial route and that has gone towards the fence. One bounce four from the left-hander and that’s 100 up for Bangladesh
This has been a good fight from Litton Das and Najmul Shanto. They have resisted well against the New Zealand bowling line up that was looking lethal.
Litton and Shanto are getting a move on here but they need to build a big stand. Bangladesh have been left tottering after losing early wickets. New Zealand bowlers are on top and a lot of credit goes to their fielders as well
While the New Zealand bowlers, the Kiwis are putting up a brilliant show in the field as well. It has been an absolute masterclass in the field from the players. They are not letting Bangladesh get easy runs
Another one BITES THE DUST! Soumya Sarkar has chopped one on to his stumps and Bangladesh are three down now for 32. The short ball has certainly worked for New Zealand. Bangladesh batters are finding it difficult to negate that
Bangladesh will have to rebuild now. The two wickets have left them under some pressure. The hosts are 13/2 after 5 overs.
WICKET! Just when we were talking about a partnership, Bangladesh have lost ANOTHER ONE! Tanzid Hasan plays one on to his stumps
New Zealand are off to a good start in this game as they have got an early breakthrough. Bangladesh are 9/1 after two overs. The early wicket has certainly pushed the hosts on the backfoot and they now need a partnership
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Litton Das(w), Mehidy Hasan Miraz(c), Tanvir Islam, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Nahid Rana
