And New Zealand have declared. The players run off. The hosts feel they have enough. The innings was built on the mammoth 252 from Tom Latham with Conway making another hundred. A nice little innings for Ross Taylor on his last Test before Blundell chipped in with an aggressive fifty. Hard work for the Bangladeshi bowlers after they decided to bowl first. Now it is up to their batters to respond. Back for the reply in just a short while...
Aaron : "Very good declaration with showers forecast later in the test. Now can the NZ bowlers get some redemption like the batsman "
Kabir: "This pitch is almost flat, no swing. So BD should bat minimum 150 overs in the 2nd innings, otherwise It would-be hard to secure a draw. "
Jarrod: "Innings break discussion - while I think Nicholls is a better batter than Mitchell/Ravindra/Phillips, I think Mitchell at 5 would give the side a better balance and allow for either a spinning all-rounder or even allowing for Ajaz Patel. "
