Fuad: "Bangladesh would defeat the world champion in their home conditions-its like a movie script for BD fans"
Dominic : "As a NZ fan this is devastating. As a cricket fan this is absolutely fantastic for the game."
ChandCricKid: "I woke up thinking I'd sleep after a quick sneek peek at the scoreboard but BD have changed my plan or I'd rather say Ebodot has changed my plan. I'm up and awake to see this happen, go BD. An Indian fan from across the border!"
Jay: "As much as it pains me congratulations must be given to Bangladesh they have been outstanding and have earned this historic moment , great occasion for BD cricket. As a Blackcaps fan very disappointed "
Drishn: "It is not over until Bangladesh score that 40 runs. No getting ahead of the process. "
Jonesy: "Wonderful effort from Bangladesh. Well deserved. Such poor application from the NZ middle order with a real lack fight. Unusual to see but pressure and sticking to an excellent game plan has done the trick. "
11.56am They clap for Ebadot as he walks off, holding the ball up, beaming a satisfied smile. What a performance. He has set up what will be Bangladesh's biggest day in Test cricket; they're so, so close, it's hard not to jump to conclusions like that. New Zealand lose 5 for 22 and are cleaned up in the first hour of the first session. Arguably, it was a similar lack of application from a capable lower order that meant they only got 328 in the first innings. Bangladesh have been all over them since that period of the game, early on the second day. And it has all come down to what should be less than an hour of batting. New Zealand haven't lost at home for 17 Tests. They've won eight series in a row at home since 2017 - if they lose this, that streak comes to an end. It could also be Bangladesh's first win against New Zealand in New Zealand in any format. We'll be back in a bit.

Andrew K.: "On the up side for Kiwi fans, at least Australia and England have both lost tests to Bangladesh before us!"
Paul Clarkson: "Its ok. NZ once scored 26 in a test innings. So we can still win this. Yeah ok maybe not."
DaveP: "A very disappointing effort. Could we arrange a match against England while they're just across the pond?"

james: "Haven't seen such good reverse-swing bowling in a while in New Zealand. Its crazy to see that its the Bangladeshi pacers who have brought it back."
