7.40pm That's all we have for you from this game. Hemant's report (which will be updated shortly) will tell you the full story of the day. Thanks for reading. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu signing off for Hemant Brar and P Ranjith.

Latham: A really good performance - the way we were able to build partnerships even though we lost quite a few wickets upfront. We probably got around the par score and to take wickets upfront, it was always going to be difficult at the back end. Death phase can be tricky but Tom and Henry absorbed the pressure and to get us to the par score was ideal. I thought the spinners were fantastic in all three games. The conditions are different to what we have back home, but looking at the Aussie series, there was no surprises for us. I still feel we have a bit left in the tank for a complete performance.

Ajaz Patel, Player of the Match: I think as a spinner you thrive on conditions like this. It was nice to get a few up at the top and our spinners collectively did a good job. I think both Cole and Rachin bowled brilliantly and we identified what ball was the hardest to play on this surface. We know these conditions may not be necessarily easy, but overall it was a good bowling effort. Yeah, Dan gave me clarity about what more these conditions can offer you.

7.30pm Mahmudullah: The bowlers did a great job to restrict them to 130. We started well, but we lost wickets in a cluster, and couldn't capitalise on it. I think the middle order has been batting well, the top order has been doing a good job, what was missing were the partnerships and hopefully we can come back hard. Still two games to go and hopefully we like to win the next game and the series.

7.20pm What a victory for New Zealand. Their second-string side has toppled Bangladesh's full-strength side in Dhaka. Credit to Ajaz and McConchie who have shared seven wickets between them to roll over Bangladesh for 76, with two balls unused in their chase. Mushfiqur never really got going, managing only 20 off 37 balls, as Bangladesh kept losing wickets around him. Do stick with us for the post-match presentation.

Mash: "Reality check for those who thought BD batters will perform better in a better pitch. As a hardcore BD fan, I am humiliated to the max by our batting. WC qualification stage won't be cake walk. "

Abdul Halim: "Drop Nasum and Afif next match and bring Biplob and Shamim. Mustafiz need rest, Shoriful will be better replacement. Really frustrating to see batting like this."
