New Zealand vs Bangladesh 1st Test Feb 28 – March 4, 2019 – Live Cricket Score

Over 103. no runs. Bowler: Tim Southee. Bangladesh: 10-429(rr 4.17)

OUT! Caught. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Tim Southee to Ebadat Hossain. Length ball, outside off stump backing away defending, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Watling. The faintest of edges through to Watling. Ebadat wasn't convinced but there was a spike as the ball passed the bat. With that catch BJ Watling moves to the top of the list of the most dismissals by a Kiwi keeper with 202.New Zealand complete a comprehensive victory by an innings and 52 runs but they were made to work hard. Bangladesh scrapped hard today and the partnership between Mahmudullah and Soumya Sarkar was flourishing until the new ball turned the match on its head. Quick wickets then fell to Trent Boult who ended the innings with 5-123.It has been a batsman's paradise at Seddon Park and we have seen six centuries including a superb double by the Kiwi captain. Not one for the bowlers and they will be hoping the next Test has a bit more in the wicket for them.Plenty of positives for both sides to take out of the game and even though it looks a big loss Bangladesh can be proud of the fight they showed in the second innings. New Zealand go 1-0 up then in the series as we head to the Basin Reserve for the 2nd Test. Do join us then.

APPEAL! Tim Southee to Khaled Ahmed. Length ball, off stump on the back foot defending, hit pad to point for no runs, fielded by Astle, appeal made for L.B.W. Khaled is rapped on the pads but it's sliding down. The new ball did everything New Zealand would have hoped. Swing and movement off the pitch which brought some indecision into Sarkar's game and then Das was out trying to leave. Mahmudullah has played probably his greatest Test innings but it seems to be a matter of time before New Zealand wrap this up. Join us in 20 minutes.
