New Zealand will feel they are about 25-30 short after being 131 for 3 in the 27th over. Nicholls fell for 49, after which Blundell got to a quick 68. But handy contributions from Sodhi and Jamieson from lower down could make the difference. This is a slow pitch where the ball is stopping and turning, so 255 won't be a cakewalk. Join Ekanth for the chase soon.

Andy: "Can we pls stop glorifying what Litton did today? Either you do or your don't. You don't call back the batsman and then celebrate it as sportsmanship. This is a fool's errand."

James: "Bangladesh's wimpiness over the non-striker run-out has maybe cost them here"

Debutant Khaled Ahmed: "I am feeling good. I was nervous, but everyone is supporting me. It feels great to get a wicket, even as I was looking forward to bowl on better lengths. I came to know I was playing only when we arrived here. It was a proud moment. The pitch was good for pace bowlers."

5.51pm Before anything, there will be accolades for Litton and co for recalling Sodhi after Hasan Mahmud ran the former out backing up at the non-striker's end in the 46th over; there will also be a lot of applaud for Sodhi gleaming and hugging the bowler after returning to the crease. But this is exactly why this form is dismissal might never turn out to be acceptable. Anyway, Sodhi was on 17 at the time, and went on to hit 35.

Litton has a chat with Khaled, as Bangladesh plot something
