Inn Break
That ends the action from Wednesday's double-header! In case you missed out, India defeated South Africa in Southampton earlier in the day, opening their account in the World Cup. The caravan now moves to Trent Bridge, Nottingham where West Indies take on Australia. Rest assured, it is not going to be those expected one-sided contests. It is a fiery one for sure! Do join us at 10.30 am local (0930 GMT) for all the action from game 10 on Thursday, June 6, 2019. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
Victorious New Zealand skipper, Kane Williamson, says that it is nice to get across the line. Praises his bowlers and fielders for doing well in the first innings. Admits that with the bat, there were a few soft dismissals but also relishes that this issue and challenge which came up. On the surface, Williamson says that it was one which had plenty for the fast bowlers but as the game got deeper, spin came into play. On Tim Southee's fitness, Kane says that he is fit but the ones performing in the park have been doing well too.
Bangladesh captain, Mashrafe Mortaza, admits that it was a good wicket and Bangladesh were 20-30 runs short. Feels the outfield was pretty quick and that hurt Bangladesh in the end. Agrees that when Williamson and Taylor were going great guns, he had a defensive field but then realized that wickets were important. Hopes to do better in the coming games.
For his brilliant knock of 82, ROSS TAYLOR has been adjudged the MAN OF THE MATCH. Taylor says it was a very nervous game and credits the Bangladesh fans as they made it feel as if they were in Dhaka and made New Zealand feel under pressure. Credits his bowlers for the way they bowled as they thought 270-280 would have been a good score to chase on this wicket. On the missed run out chance of Kane Williamson, he smiles and says they had some issues in the warm up game as well but it is alright and he hopes to improve it in the match against Afghanistan.
Fielding plays such a critical part in a limited overs' game, isn't it? Normally one does not get too many chances. Here, Mushfiqur Rahim got 2 chances in one over, of Williamson and Taylor but he fluffed both. Imagine New Zealand being 60/4. Bangladesh would have been on top of the table right now. The bowling was decent in patches with the bowlers coming up with the goods at the death. That Williamson wicket seemed to spur everyone on. Mehedi, Shakib, Saifuddin and Mosaddek took 2 wickets apiece. Please stay tuned for the presentation...
With 85 needed from 19 overs and 8 wickets in hand, the Black Caps were in the driver's seat. But Williamson's wicket led to a collapse and the Kiwis choked. From 160/2, they slipped to 218/7 and it seemed like Bangladesh would gain an unlikely win. But calm and composed Mitchell Santner ensured that there was no hara-kiri.
Guptill and Munro started like there is no tomorrow, trying their level best to end this game in 20 overs. But then both were dismissed and actually, both Williamson and Taylor should have been dismissed too. But Rahim's folly let Williamson and Taylor off the hook and the duo ended up adding 105 for the third wicket.
How does one approach a semi-difficult target? What is that, in the first place? Any target which is the range of 240-270. Because then you don't know whether to play cautiously and end up getting in a mire or go flat out and end up taking the risk of throwing the match away. New Zealand were caught in that conundrum in this game.
A nervy win in the end. New Zealand should have romped home but they have taken the longer route. However, they will take these 2 points and be happy with their table position.

Huge shout for LBW! Not given. That was close. Full on the pads, Santner looks to hit but to the naked eye it looks like he has missed it. Bangladesh players put in a huge appeal and they are convinced they have got their man but the man who matters the most, the umpire is unmoved. They do not have any review left. Hawk Eye later on shows Paul Reiffel was spot on as the ball was pitching outside leg.

Neesham, without coming to the pitch of the delivery looks to go downtown but can only manage to offer a simple catch to Sarkar at long off. He cannot get the elevation and distance right.

Mehedi Hasan To Ross Taylor
Neesham is in. New Zealand fans can heave a sigh of relief. The bat is over the line. But is JUST over. Mehedi bowls one on the pads of Taylor, he flicks it to mid-wicket and calls Neesham for a quick single. There is a yes-yes and a no-no because Neesham stutters. Eventually they go through and the fielder from mid-wicket hares to the ball and scores a direct hit at the striker's end off balance. Bangladesh celebrate and to the naked eye it seems like it is out. But replays show otherwise. Good fielding by Bangladesh. The two wickets have infused tremendous energy in them. They have sprang back to life it seems.
Is that a run out now? Neesham could be in trouble here. Bangladesh are celebrating. A direct hit might have just caught Neesham short. Or may not. Seems like the bat is over the line.

Jimmy Neesham is the new man in while Mosaddek Hossain is the bowling change.
DRINKS BREAK. Is the game changing? You never know these days. New Zealand were coasting before Mehedi came, they still are coasting but if Taylor gets out now, we could have a game on our hands. Just 83 needed from 18 overs but is it JUST 83 or plenty in 83, we shall come to know soon.

Mehedi Hasan To Tom Latham OUT!
OUT! Don't go anywhere as this match is not over by any stretch of imagination. Mehedi bowls it short on the stumps, Latham gets on his back foot and looks to hit it over the deep mid-wicket fielder. He is unable to get properly under it and ends up hitting it towards deep mid-wicket. For an instance it looks like it will fall short of the man there but Saifuddin runs in and takes an excellent catch diving in front. Wicket off the first ball and wicket off the last ball. What a brilliant over from Mehedi! Is this the over which will turn the tide in Bangladesh's favour?

Mehedi Hasan To Kane Williamson OUT!
OUT! Williamson holes out! Mehedi is a happy man. He tosses it up on middle and leg, Williamson comes down the track and looks to hit it over the mid-wicket fielder. Williamson's bottom hand comes off the handle as he looks to hit it and he ends up chipping it to the man at deep mid-wicket. Mossadek in the deep takes an easy catch. Have Bangladesh found an inroad in this game?

SAFE! These two are riding their luck here. The running between the wicket needs to be improved. Floated on the pads, Williamson flicks it to short fine leg and takes a quick single. Mustafizur's throw at the keeper's end is a weak one. Mushfiqur takes the bails off and the square leg umpire takes it upstairs. Replays roll in and shows Taylor was in before the stumps were disturbed. This time it was not Mushfiqur's fault.
Another run out chance! Do Bangladesh have one in the bag this time? Is Taylor short? He was stretching out. Looks to me like his bat is grounded.

Shakib Al Hasan To Ross Taylor
STUMPING CHANCE MISSED! Mushfiqur is having a nightmare of a game behind the stumps here so far. Taylor comes down the track so Shakib fires it outside off. Mushfiqur behind the stumps cannot gather it cleanly, Taylor would have been out of here. End of a dramatic over here. A very bad one for Mushfiqur. First he misses the run out chance of Williamson and then a stumping chance of Taylor.

Shakib Al Hasan To Ross Taylor
SAFE. Rahim has indeed disturbed the bails with his right hand even before the throw could come. Why didn't he uproot the stump? Full on middle, Taylor comes down the track and works it wide of mid on. There is some miscommunication between the batsmen as Rosco wants the single but Williamson does not. Eventually, Willy goes for the run but he is nowhere even in the frame. The throw comes from mid on to Rahim and it is in line of the stumps. But Rahim comes in front of the sticks and in that process, his right glove touches the stumps and the bails come off. Rahim does not have the presence of mind to uproot the stump. Third umpire confirms. Massive opportunity missed.
Run out! Run out! Run out! Williamson is gone by a mile! Or is he? Bangladesh are not celebrating. Oh dear... has Rahim taken the bails off even before collecting the throw? Pre-mature... what a life for Williamson.

Shakib Al Hasan To Colin Munro OUT!
OUT! What a catch! Mehedi has taken an excellent catch here. Shakib bowls it flatter on middle and leg, Munro stretches out to heave it on the leg side. He was later stuck in two minds, whether to hit or block it but decides to go with the shot. He drags his shot towards mid-wicket which goes uppishly. Mehedi Hasan at short mid-wicket dives in front and takes it inches above the ground. Munro is going nowhere but umpire Oxenford raises his finger. All of a sudden New Zealand have lost both their openers and Bangladesh are right back in this one. 2nd wicket for Shakib in the game. He has had a brilliant day, first with the bat and now with the ball. He is enjoying his 200th ODI for sure.

Shakib Al Hasan To Kane Williamson
NOT OUT! Bangladesh lose their review inside the first six overs itself. It is a flighted ball pitching outside off, Williamson comes forward to defend it but misses and gets hit on the pad. The Bangladesh players go up in a huge appeal but the umpire turns it down. Mortaza takes the review and replays roll in. Hawk Eye shows the ball was going with the angle and was going to miss the leg pole. Poor review this from Bangladesh it always looked to be going down leg but their desperation to get one more wicket has seen them lose their sole review.
Rahim has screamed his lungs out there. Does he believe he has Williamson trapped LBW? Mashrafe Mortaza seems to be convinced and has taken the review. Seems to be going down the leg side to the naked eye. And yes. Hawk Eye shows it to be missing leg. Review gone for Bangladesh.

Shakib Al Hasan To Martin Guptill OUT!
OUT! Bangladesh desperately needed a wicket and their superstar has given them just that. Shakib bowls a straighter one on off, Guptill looks to hit it over the bowler's head. He does not time it well and ends up hitting it towards long on. Tamim stationed there comes running and takes an easy catch. Guptill's cameo comes to an end. He will be disappointed to not make the most of his start.
Shakib Al Hasan is into the attack now. 4 bowlers already used by Bangladesh here. They desperately need a wicket.

Mashrafe Mortaza To Martin Guptill
FOUR! HAMMERED! Oh yeah, bring it on! New Zealand are eyeing an opportunity to go hard against the new balls. Fractionally short outside off, Guptill pulls it wide of mid on and starts the run chase with a boundary!
Now, the umpires come out to the middle and are followed by the players from both sides. Mashrafe Mortaza, with knees heavily strapped, gets ready to bowl the first over. Guptill on strike. Here we go.
We are back with the run chase. 245 needed for New Zealand to go on top of the table. On paper, it looks easy. Not quite sure it will be that easy. Guptill and Munro are waiting at the boundary lines and the Bangladesh players too get into a huddle outside the boundary. No one has stepped in yet.
