Watch: Ajaz Patel Warns Bangladesh Star Of Run-out At Non-striker's End In 1st Test
Among the highlights of Day 1 of the first Test between New Zealand and Bangladesh in Sylhet, spinner Ajaz Patel warned batter Mominul Haque of a run-out at the non-striker's end as the latter was backing away at the crease. In the 39th over of the Bangladesh innings, Ajaz was bowling the fifth ball when he pulled back his action midway and realised in the follow-up that Mominul was already outside his crease at the non-striker's end. Ajaz then pointed that out, giving a warning to the batter.

Spinner Glenn Phillips returned figures of 4-53 as New Zealand restricted Bangladesh to 310-9 before bad light forced an early stumps on the opening day of the first Test in Sylhet on Tuesday.
Phillips, chosen ahead of Rachin Ravindra, picked the crucial wickets after opening batsman Mahmudul Hasan hit 86 off 166 balls to give Bangladesh a platform for a strong total.
The hosts, who opted to bat first after winning the toss, dominated New Zealand in patches but lost wickets in important phases, with Kiwi bowlers Ajaz Patel (2-76) and Kyle Jamieson (2-52) celebrating success.
Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and one of his predecessors, Mominul Haque, each made 37 runs for Bangladesh.
They put up 53 runs and 88 runs with Mahmudul for the second and third wicket pairs respectively, before their untimely dismissals.
Patel bowled opener Zakir Hasan for 12 to give New Zealand their first breakthrough, before Phillips made Najmul his maiden Test wicket in the morning session.
Kane Williamson ran back from mid-on to complete the catch.
