New Zealand vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test, Day 1 Live Score: Tom Latham and Will Young gave New Zealand a strong start to the second Test against Bangladesh on Sunday as they went to lunch at 92 without loss in Christchurch.

Bangladesh, one up in the two-Test series, won the toss and put New Zealand in to bat on a green wicket.

But fast bowlers Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam were unable to generate any meaningful seam and swing movement allowing Latham and Young to take an aggressive approach.

At lunch, Latham was on 66 while Young, following his two fifties in the first Test, was on 26.
