6.10pm Heartbreak for Bangladesh, though. Their first-innings total of 595 for 8 dec is the highest ever in a losing cause. The previous highest - 586 - was in a timeless Test between Australia and England in 1894-95. Their two key men- Mushfiq and Kayes - were down with injuries but they came out to bat and even took blows on the body. But their bowlers - who were either too short or too full - just weren't good enough. Many thanks for tuning in. Do come back for the second Test, starting Friday in Christchurch. That is all we have for you from this Test. Until next time, goodbye.
6.05pm Presentation:
Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh captain: I am feeling much better. Could have been worse. There is some pain, and I will get through it. Obviously disappointing to lose the Test. The bowling let us down and we had some injuries. That could not help us either. The bowling is inexperienced and hopefully they will learn quickly. Hopefully, they will get better in Christchurch. We need to create pressure from both ends with the ball. Really happy for Shakib [for breaking the record for the highest score by a Bangladesh player], this was due for him.
Kane Williamson, the man of the moment and New Zealand captain: Credit to Bangladesh, they put our bowlers under pressure [in the first innings]. We took some control in the second innings; they were unfortunate to lose Mushfiqur to a head injury. At the same time, we were good with the ball. It was damp and everyone was going to bowl[toss?]. Bangladesh to get to 600 was good, their bowlers then kept us honest for a long time. A lot of credit to Latham to get us close to parity in the first innings. Apparently it is a tough seeing ground for catching, at certain points it can be difficult. The hundred is nice,[but] the main thing was to get the partnerships. The partnership with Ross gave us momentum. Chasing 200 [217] and to do it well as a batting unit was all the more pleasing. Our plan was to win the Test for sure. To bowl Bangladesh out on a good surface was a tough thing to do. They [our bowlers] gave us the chance to chase it down.
Tom Latham, Man of the Match: Very pleasing to make a significant contribution. It was nice to bat longer. Those partnerships at the top of the order was crucial and we did not lose wickets in clusters. A couple of dropped catches does not help, but it's a tough seeing ground.
5.49pm Williamson walks back to a rousing reception. Gem of an innings. Oh hello! Mushfiq walks out from the Bangladesh change room and applauds his opposite number; nice to see. He is out of immediate danger after the blow to the head.
Williamson's 89-ball hundred is among the fastest in the fourth innings of a Test. He put up a clinic - no cross-batted shots - just correct cricket shots with precise placement. Taylor provided an excellent supporting hand with his first half-century after the eye surgery. Believe it or not, the third innings of this Test started only after tea on the fourth day. And the weather ate up nearly 50 overs on the first day. One of the finest comeback wins, and it was only fitting that Williamson provided the coup de grĂące to delight the Wellington crowd.
around the wicket.
NZ need five for the win, Williamson one for the hundred. Miraz back into the attack. The field is up.
