Here's Isam: Fifth lowest number of balls bowled in a Test match to take 30 wickets (minimum). This last happened in 1912.

Alim Uz Zaman P: "136 considering the pitch here looks like 236. Am I wrong" Nope.

11.10pm Right, then. Bangladesh have been bowled out for 144 and New Zealand need 137 for a win. They started off well with Mominul and Zakir getting a few boundaries away. Then Mominul fell lbw and wickets started tumbling. From 71 to 2 Bangladesh slipped to 97 for 7. Zakir though held his end up to record an important fifty. Nayeem, Taijul and Shoriful all added a few runs to take Bangladesh to 144. The surface is spitting and turning like anything. This 137-target is not going to be easy.

Patel to Shoriful Islam, OUT, Six for Ajaz. Top work from the left-handed spinner. He hung in there and reaped the rewards. Floated up against outside off. Shoriful jumps down, looking for another biggie. Misses and Blundell does the rest.

Patel to Shoriful Islam, 1 run, Huge top-edge that falls in no-man's land. Was floated again outside off, he goes for a huge swing, and is lucky the ball did not go to hand

Santner to Taijul Islam, FOUR, He goes reverse now. Well done, Taijiul. Was on the stumps and quicker. He gets low and plays it efficiently behind square on the off side. Ajaz hares across, but can't rein it in
