That's a brilliant innings by Watling. He came in at the fall of Martin's wicket and scored 103 of the 187 runs scored. His partnerships with Bracewell and Boult have been instrumental in getting New Zealand past 350, 400 and 450.
It remains to be seen as to how New Zealand bowlers would respond to the challenge at hand. Join us in twenty minutes at 14.45 local time for the Bangladesh innings

Mominul Haque to Watling, OUT, good length ball outside the off stump. Watling comes forward and looks to defend it. Mominul, the only bowler getting turn today, gets one to turn past the outside edge of the batsman. Rahim whips the bails off. There is a delay because the third umpire wants to be absolutely sure before switching the red light. He does, much to the delight of the crowd and the innings comes to an end
