Glenn Phillips hit an aggressive 87 to keep New Zealand in the game on day three of a finely poised rain-hit second and final Test against Bangladesh on Friday. All-rounder Phillips lifted New Zealand from a precarious 55-5 at the start of the day to 180 all out in response to Bangladesh's first innings total of 172 in Dhaka. Bangladesh wiped out the eight-run deficit to reach 38-2 when bad light forced early stumps, with 37 overs remaining on the day at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
DHAKA : Glenn Phillips made a defiant half-century to keep New Zealand afloat before the tourists reduced Bangladesh to 38-2 in their second innings on Friday as bad light brought the third day's play in the rain-hit second test to a premature end.
New Zealand have named their 13-member ODI squad to face Bangladesh in three ODIs with maiden call-ups to the fifty-overs squad for three players. 26-year-old all-rounder Josh Clarkson, leg-spinner Adi Ashok and seamer Will O'Rourke are the three potential ODI debutants named in the squad that sees a major reshuffle after the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, in which Kiwis earned a semifinal finish after a loss to India. Ashok, who made his T20I debut in UAE in August, will be part of the squad for the final two games with Ish Sodhi playing the first game.
Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto is looking forward to lock horns with New Zealand in the second Test after registering a historic 150-run victory over the Blackcaps in the first match of the series at home on Saturday. Bangladesh made history on Saturday, with a ten-wicket haul by Taijul Islam, including six wickets in the second innings, guiding the team to their first-ever home Test win against New Zealand by 150 runs at Sylhet. The first encounter of the two-match Test series saw Bangladesh defeat New Zealand at home for the first time. Taijul Islam finished the first Test with his career-best 11/170 in that game.
DHAKA : New Zealand cricket captain Tim Southee said they were outplayed by an "ever-improving" Bangladesh in the opening test in Sylhet and refused to blame the defeat on any fatigue from their one-day World Cup campaign in India last month.
Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam claimed 4-40 to put Bangladesh within three wickets of a famous win over New Zealand in the first Test in Sylhet on Friday. Set a target of 332 runs, New Zealand stuttered to reach 113-7 at stumps on the fourth day, still needing 219 runs for what looked like an improbable win. Daryl Mitchell dragged the match into the fifth day with an unbeaten 44, remaining New Zealand's only hope to produce a miracle. Ish Sodhi was with him on seven, but not before he was reprieved by the third umpire after initially being given out two overs before stumps.
Bangladesh vs New Zealand 1st Test, Day 4 Live Updates: Hosts Bangladesh are in a commanding 205-run lead against New Zealand after putting an exemplary display of batting and bowling over the first four days. After bowling out the Kiwis for 317 in the first innings, Bangladesh ended the third day's play at 212/3, with Najmul Hossain Shanto scoring a century. With 7 wickets in hand, the Bangla Tigers would look to put around 400 runs on the board in the second innings. Anything less might see put the Kiwis in charge. (LIVE Scorecard)
