OUT! Caught. Taskin Ahmed to Will O'Rourke. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid on, caught by Hridoy. That's it. New Zealand have been bowled out for 198. Nick Kelly stood tall with a fluent 83 and showed real composure at the crease, but he never found lasting support from the other end. Nahid Rana was outstanding and led the attack with a superb five-wicket haul. Shoriful Islam backed him up well and chipped in with two important wickets. Can Bangladesh chase it down and level the series? Join us in a few minutes for the run chase.
