Southee and Boult were the pair on that occasion as well. Overall, this was the 10th such instance for New Zealand and the last three instances have all been by the Southee-Boult pair, the most by any pair for the country. Richard Hadlee achieved this twice each with Gary Troup and Ewen Chatfield

2 Man-of-the-Match awards for Southee in Tests, both coming in this home season. Before this, he got his maiden award in the Hamilton Test against Pakistan in which he took 8 for 140. Prior to this season, only three times had he picked up eight or more wickets.

622 Runs scored by Bangladesh in the last three innings of this series. They lost 30 wickets for 622 runs after posting 595 for 8 in their first innings at Wellington. They had five 50-plus scores in that innings but only three more fifties in the rest of the series.

4/50 Shakib Al Hasan's figures in the first innings - the second-best by a Bangladesh bowler in New Zealand. The only five-wicket haul for Bangladesh in the country has been by Rubel Hossain, who took 5 for 166, in Hamilton in 2009-10. Prior to this, Shakib had taken only five wickets in three Tests in New Zealand.

76 Previous highest score for Henry Nicholls, that came against South Africa in Centurion last year. He bettered that figure in the first innings of this match but fell short of his maiden century by two runs. This was his second fifty of the series and had only two fifties in nine prior Tests.

For Bangladesh, Shakib and Kamrul Islam Rabbi picked the most wickets, six each.
