- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 big appeal, and given! Southee with the early breakthrough! Full delivery that starts on middle stump and curves back in devilishly. Sarkar plants his front foot and then plays all around it. Gets pinned on the pads and Southee is off on a celebrappeal, even before the umpire raises his finger. Sarkar has taken this upstairs, though, perhaps arguing that the ball has done too much. No bat involved. Time for Ball Tracking now...and it reckons the ball would have clipped the outside of leg stump. Umpire's Call. Millimetres in that and Sarkar has to go! 4/15.3 massive appeal, and given! Sears gets NZ's third! Full and slanting into middle and leg. Talukdar falls over a touch and is beaten for pace too. Thuds into his pads and the umpire, after a bit of thought, raises his finger. Was that sliding down leg, though? Talukdar thinks it was not, and does not review. Bangladesh three down in the powerplay! 41/34.2 Milne gets Shanto! Length delivery at the stumps. Shanto gives himself a ton of room to go over point but does not get the elevation he desires. Slices it in the end and offers the tamest of catches to Allen. NZ have two in the powerplay, and Bangladesh are in a spot of bother now! 31/210.6 is there a nick?! Seifert certainly thinks so and NZ go upstairs! Tossed up deliciously on a length outside off. Draws Hridoy into a loose poke away from his body, and the ball, having gripped a touch, seems to kiss the shoulder of the bat on its way to Seifert. Indeed, it has. A clear spike when the ball is next to the bat, and Santner has another! 68/58.4 Santner outfoxes Afif! Looped up beautifully on a length on off stump. Afif looks at the flight and hares down the track, only to find out he is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. Makes a half-hearted effort to fend it into the on side but all he does is inside-edge it into his pads. Lobs up and the keeper does the rest. Superb piece of bowling by the NZ skipper! 59/414.5 two in the over, four for Santner! Darted in on a length at the stumps. Shamim gets down on one knee, trying to sweep it over short fine leg. Gets it right off the toe-end, however, and offers the simplest of catches to Southee, stationed at the edge of the circle. NZ all over Bangladesh like a rash! 81/714.1 Santner has his third! Slows it up considerably, down to 72kph and dangles the carrot outside off. Mahedi cannot resist the temptation and has a wild whoosh at it. Nowhere close to the pitch of the ball, though, and the spin off the surface means that Mahedi feathers it through to the keeper! 78/619.2 cleans him up! NZ roll over Bangladesh for 110! Searing yorker on leg stump. Rishad gives himself room, looking to access the off side. In theory, he has it all worked out. In practice, though, he is just too late on the stroke. The ball whistles past the bat and thumps into the base of leg stump! 110/1015.6 Shoriful perishes swinging! Hard length outside off. Shoriful was never going to hold back and has another pop at it. Deceived by the slight change of pace too, and he cloths it towards cover. Southee tracks it well running back and completes a smart catch over his shoulder! 87/818.2 Bangladesh nine down! Back of a length on off stump. Tanvir clears his front hip and tries to tonk it into next week. Loses his shape completely and the ball skews off the outside edge. Sodhi settles under it at short third man and gobbles up the chance! 105/9Extras11 (lb 2, w 9)TOTAL110 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 5.68)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Soumya Sarkar, 0.4 ov), 2-31 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 4.2 ov), 3-41 (Rony Talukdar, 5.3 ov), 4-59 (Afif Hossain, 8.4 ov), 5-68 (Towhid Hridoy, 10.6 ov), 6-78 (Mahedi Hasan, 14.1 ov), 7-81 (Shamim Hossain, 14.5 ov), 8-87 (Shoriful Islam, 15.6 ov), 9-105 (Tanvir Islam, 18.2 ov), 10-110 (Rishad Hossain, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 knocks him over for the third time this series. Catch Shoriful if you can! Length delivery on middle and leg stump, and this one, like the ball that got Phillips, seems to nip back. Allen goes for the booming drive on the up but misses it completely. Hears the death rattle soon after, and NZ are reeling. Bangladesh are upbeat, and they are sensing a massive opportunity here! 49/51.4 Talukdar is confident he has stumped Seifert! Full, fast and flat outside off. Seifert shapes up for the switch hit but fails to make any contact. Over-balances after the ball has passed the bat and Talukdar reckons he has whipped off the bails before Seifert has gotten his bat down. Talukdar is right. Seifert's back foot is out of his crease and his bat is in the air. NZ lose an early wicket, yet again! 16/13.4 straight to mid off! Slowed up on a full length at the stumps, and Mitchell bites. Backs away, looking to go over mid off but has to reach out for it in the end. Miscues it and mid off does the rest. Mahedi has Mitchell again, and NZ are wobbling just a little! 26/24.6 hot knife through butter! That is an absolute jaffa! Length delivery that pitches on off stump and seems to deck back just a smidgen. Phillips falls over and then plays outside the line. Gets cut in half and off stump is flattened. Shoriful is pumped, Bangladesh are pumped, NZ are rocking! 30/36.5 oh dear, catastrophe for New Zealand! Off-cutter on a back of a length outside off. Allen punches it to deep cover point's right and both batters agree on the second. But....they collide into each other mid-pitch. Allen is down for the count and Chapman, after the collision, tries to get to the bowler's end. By then, it is too late as Mustafizur gathers and takes off the bails. Not sure whose fault it was but whichever way you look at it, NZ are under all sorts of pressure now! 38/4Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL95/5 (14.4 Overs, RR: 6.47)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Tim Seifert, 1.4 ov), 2-26 (Daryl Mitchell, 3.4 ov), 3-30 (Glenn Phillips, 4.6 ov), 4-38 (Mark Chapman, 6.5 ov), 5-49 (Finn Allen, 8.3 ov)
