12:50 local: We are back. The Bangladeshis in a huddle and out walk the players onto the field. Just a 10-minute spell before lunch. Taskin Ahmed has the new-ball. From round the wicket with two slips and a gully.

Fraser Rew: "NZ lost their fourth wicket at 227, Bangladesh lost theirs at 203. But Bangladesh's last six batsmen scored 171 between them, to NZ's 36, and that's been the difference."

George Macphers: "Bangladesh did have the chance to get a 150 lead but let it slip once the first wicket went down. Had the remaining batters batted a little longer then the lead would have been going towards the 170 mark by now and even have finished up at around 210-220,"

12:40 local: 176.2 overs into the New Zealand bowlers' legs and bodies. That's a superhuman effort from Bangladesh away and they lead by 130 runs. No-one could've envisaged this when Bangladesh began their innings with the bat. But their batters dug in deep and frustrated the hosts with determined dogged batting. Throw in the flair of Liton Das to it and it has taken three new balls for New Zealand to finally close out the innings. The end came swiftly today after the drinks break but not before the lead was swelled to a significant margin. Pretty sure Boult and Co. will be pleased to have a lie down and let the batters give them a break. Back for the 3rd innings in just a bit...

Saif: "If NZ bats around 100 overs (today's 70 overs tomorrow's 1st session) and scores around 330-350, they can still push for a win. We all know Bangladesh and their 2nd innings collapses after good batting in the 1st innings."

Jarrod: "Time for NZ to go ODI mode, bat out 60 overs at 5-6 rpo, then try their luck with the new ball in the morning on day 5"

Rohan: "@Himanshu totally agree and hoping for an India Pakistan final for no reason other than the fact that it's the only way we get to see a Ind-Pak test match. However, it's a long long way to go."

Given out lbw. Taskin straightaway challenges. No bat as UltraEdge shows a flat line. Ball-tracker shows it to be umpire's call and that will do for New Zealand

Himanshu: "All this talk about India and Australia final, Pakistan has an amazing draw with all overseas series with lower ranked teams. I wouldn't count them out just yet."

Jared: "This is the sort of total that NZ *should* have posted. Unfortunately, some casual batting and soft dismissals have put the Black Caps in this position. They have been outplayed by Bangladesh. The only saving grace for NZ is the low run rate. "

Two slips a gully and a short-leg in

Prashant: "In this match, NZ should just ensure not to give up any points in over rate. India and Australia looks untouchable and their record will only improve for this championship cycle. NZ has only chance to be there by going all out in all of their home games. "
