Bangladesh vs New Zealand 2nd Test, Day 4 Highlights

We are back with the final innings of this Test as the umpires march towards the middle followed by the Bangladesh players who spread out to their respective field positions. Devon Conway and Tom Latham are the openers for New Zealand while to everyone's surprise, it is Shoriful Islam to bowl the first over.

... FOURTH INNINGS ...

Bangladesh's second innings ended on 144, and the Kiwis would now require 137 runs to level the series. After carrying on from the overnight score of 30/2 Bangladesh's innings were dealt blows regularly with the side being bundled out on 144. Zakir Hasan was brilliant with his 59-run knock on a surface that was not at all easy to bat on. His aggressive approach worked in favor of him and the hosts. Wickets kept tumbling on the other end with only 4 batters crossing the double-figure mark.  A handy 16-run partnership for the 10th wicket must give the hosts some momentum as those could well turn out to be crucial runs in this low-scoring affair. Ajaz Patel stuck to his plans and found the right spot as he was rewarded with a 5-wicket haul as he took6 well helped by Mitchell Santner who took 3 and Tim Southee took a wicket as well.

OUT! STUMPED! Ajaz Patel finishes off with six wickets and that is all over for Bangladesh! Ajaz Patel sees the batter move around and fires this one full and around off, Shoriful Islam skips down the track to go big but loses his shape and misses the ball completely as Tom Blundell behind the stumps collects and breaks the stumps before Shoriful Islam can get back inside the crease. Bangladesh have been bowled out for 144!

Slower and wider outside off, Taijul Islam drives it on the front foot to the mid-off for a single.

Pushed through quicker this time, goes with angle, Taijul Islam stays back and has a poke at it but misses it.

In the air...safe! Drops it wide outside off, Shoriful Islam throws his bat to whack it away, he loses his shape and takes the toe-end of the bat, the ball lands in no man's land at wide cover. They take a single.

FOUR! These are crucial runs for Bangladesh! This is tossed up, full and around off, Shoriful Islam backs away and smears it through covers for a boundary.

Overpitched and loops it up around off, Shoriful Islam slices it on the front foot to the deep backward point and snatches another double.

FOUR! That has got the crowd going!  Mitchell Santner bowls this flatter, full and around off, Taijul Islam goes down and reverse-sweeps it nicely wide of deep point where Ajaz Patel runs to his right and dives in but fails to stop it from going to the fence for a boundary.

Bowls outside off and on full, Taijul Islam reaches to the pitch of the ball and drives it through the cover gap for a double.

Flighted, full and on off, Shoriful Islam lofts it over mid off for one.

Floats it up on off and full, Shoriful Islam prods forward and defends it to the on-side.

Tossed up, full and on middle, Taijul Islam heaves it off the inner edge towards deep mid-wicket for a single.

Sharp turns off the deck drifting down the leg, Taijul Islam offers no shot at it.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! That is the wicket that New Zealand wanted and Ajaz Patel has provided them with the breakthrough. He also registers a brilliant five-wicket haul now. This is floated, full and around middle, Zakir Hasan goes down and looks to sweep it away but only manages to get a top edge as the ball loops up in the air and Daryl Mitchell from leg slip moves to his right and takes a dolly. Zakir Hasan goes back after a fine half-century as Bangladesh lose their ninth wicket.

Nicely tossed up ball outside off, Taijul Islam pushes it to the wide gap of cover for a single.

Quicker, short and on off, Taijul Islam dabs it to the off side and wants the run but is sent back.

Bowls just around off on a fuller length, Zakir Hasan employs the reverse sweep, the ball lands on the third man region, easy single taken.

Oh..close! This is floated, short and on off, turns in, Zakir Hasan looks to push it away but gets an inside edge as the ball bounces past the stumps.
