For those asking, New Zealand's away record in the recent past has been good. They have won their away series' against South Africa and England

So Bangladesh end up on 265, a solid total which is defendable yet also chaseable even if history favours the home side, although the potential for evening dew may hamper their spinners. Mushfiqur and Naeem were the stars, rescuing their side from early trouble with a 154-run fourth-wicket stand but neither could convert their fifties into hundreds as their team-mates failed to provide the support that could have seen their side make 300. For New Zealand Tim Southee was outstanding on his return whilst Corey Anderson and Jimmy Neesham also showed glimpses of brilliance with their bowling efforts, but the visiting spinners disappointed by failing to either threaten or control.

Anderson to Abdur Razzak, OUT, shortish slower ball outside off, Razzak moves across to pull, strikes the thigh pad and balloons up behind the wicket as they set off, Brendon McCullum puts in a superlative dive to pull off a great catch, the only issue being there was no contact with bat or glove as the umpire nevertheless sends the batsman packing
