3.10pm So, New Zealand's spinners have taken eight wickets between them to skittle Bangladesh for a score they will be disappointed with after electing to bat. Barring that passage in the middle, where Mushfiqur and Shahadat looked rock solid, the rest of the batting simply couldn't quite give a good account of themselves against the turning ball. All said, the visitors couldn't have asked for a better bowling performance on the opening day. They're under the pump and now need a big first-innings effort to take steps towards salvaging the series.

Southee to Shoriful Islam, OUT, looks like Shoriful has nicked it, but no one except Blundell's really under the impression that it's out. But upon a polite enquiry, the umpire's check with the third umpire to see if it was a bump ball. There's no doubt whatsoever that Shoriful nicked that in trying to waft at a harmless length ball. Third umpire Ahsan Raza has a couple of looks and confirms he's satisfied the gloves are totally under the ball. So that's the end of that. Bangladesh bowled out for 172.
