- New Zealand bank on Ross Taylor to resist Bangladesh charge on Day 5
- Bangladesh are eyeing their first-ever victory in any format in New Zealand

However, fast bowler Ebadot Hossain, who charged in throughout the day hitting speeds of over 140 kph consistently, jolted New Zealand with 3 late strikes, including two in an over.
Ebadot began New Zealand’s slide by getting opener Will Young out for 69 bowled. He then got Henry Nicholls in the same over with a beauty that hit the top of the middle stump. In the following over, Ebadot got wicketkeeper-batter Tom Blundell out LBW for 0, shifting the momentum in favour of the visiting side.
New Zealand are effectively 17 for 5 with Taylor, playing his penultimate Test, unbeaten on 37, along with inexperienced Rachin Ravindra on 6. Mominul Haque’s men will be hoping for quick wickets on Day 5 morning in Mount Maunganui even as the pitch has started to do some tricks.
Earlier in the day, The tourists resumed at 401-6, already 73 ahead, and lost their last four wickets for 57 runs in 20 overs.
The end was delayed by a 75-run partnership for the seventh wicket between Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Yasir Ali, then hurried by the arrival of the third new ball which swung.
