- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 same ball - a full toss - same shot but this time there's man at deep cover to take the catch. This was struck well but the fielder had been placed a tad wider specifically for that. 85/19.4 top-edges this attempted scoop and an excellent innings comes to an end. Taskin holds his length back by trying a knuckleball, Allen walked across to play the ramp but because there was pace off, got it off a thick edge. But what an innings, what a knock. 138/38.2 yorker-length and he's drilled this straight to mid-off, good catch from Soumya. Couldn't get underneath the length to get the elevation and toe-ended it. 123/29.6 reaches out to squeeze this Yorker-length delivery to cover, chancing a second in the hope that the fielders are caught napping, sadly not. In comes the throw to the keeper and Mitchell is out. 141/4Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL141/4 (10 Overs, RR: 14.1)Fall of wickets: 1-85 (Martin Guptill, 5.4 ov), 2-123 (Glenn Phillips, 8.2 ov), 3-138 (Finn Allen, 9.4 ov), 4-141 (Daryl Mitchell, 9.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 finds long-on this time and Astle gets a wicket. The third googly in a row from Astle, he knew Naim was going to go after it and the length was apt. Naim swung and could only hole out to long-on where Chapman took a good catch diving forward 31/30.5 appeal for caught behind, the umpires get together and refer it upstairs, and the soft signal is out. On the pads from Southee, Soumya was flicking it away on the leg side and he got an inside edge before the ball lobbed off the pads back towards the bowler. The third umpire is also checking if the return catch was clean from Southee, who had to dive forward. The catch is clean, Southee's fingers are under the ball, and it's out! 11/10.6 two in two, the captain is gone for a first ball duck! Scrambled seam from Southee, nice and full on the off stump, Liton tries an unorthodox paddle by doing a long way across and misses it to lose his stumps 11/23.6 the wrong'un has done it, and Shanto is bowled! Second wicket in the over as Shanto went for the pull but he was deceived by the lack of pace and lost his middle stump. He'll regret missing this long hop 37/45.2 slower through the air and beats him outside off. Oh, and this time Conway is very confident about the stumping. Flicks the bail off and runs away in celebration. Afif missed the sweep, heel of the back foot in the air and it's not as close as the appeal in the last over. Nothing behind the line and he's out 52/58.2 another knuckle ball, this time Mosaddek swings on the off side and sends that high before Will Young runs back and dives with perfect timing to get both hands to it 72/95.4 holes out to deep midwicket, the easiest of catches for Phillips in the deep. Flattish length outside off, Mahedi couldn't get under it properly and swept the ball to the leg side but hardly got the distance even on this small ground 52/66.3 full and quick, another swing from Shoriful but he's bowled this time. Bangladesh are crumbling here. This was close to 140kmh, full on the base of the leg stump and goes under the bat 60/77.1 Slower ball at 123kmh from the back of the hand, but the target is the same: the stumps. Full and straight, Taskin wants to swing it away but he's deceived by the pace and loses his stumps 65/89.3 that's it, Bangladesh are all out in under 10 overs and New Zealand pocket the series 3-0. Full outside off, and Nasum skies it for an easy catch to extra cover 76/10Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL76 all out (9.3 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Soumya Sarkar, 0.5 ov), 2-11 (Litton Das, 0.6 ov), 3-31 (Mohammad Naim, 3.3 ov), 4-37 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 3.6 ov), 5-52 (Afif Hossain, 5.2 ov), 6-52 (Mahedi Hasan, 5.4 ov), 7-60 (Shoriful Islam, 6.3 ov), 8-65 (Taskin Ahmed, 7.1 ov), 9-72 (Mosaddek Hossain, 8.2 ov), 10-76 (Nasum Ahmed, 9.3 ov)
