Bangladesh vs New Zealand 1st Test, Day 5 Highlights: Bangladesh win by 50 runs, take 1-0 lead

Right then, that is from this enthralling first Test where Bangladesh takes a 1-0 lead. They will have their eyes set on the second and final Test to get a historic series win while New Zealand will have a lot of thinking to do about and come back stronger to at least finish on level terms. Day 1 of that game will begin on 6th December, Wednesday at 9 am IST (3.30 am GMT), but as you know, you can always join us early for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye!

Najmul Hossain Shanto. the victorious captain of Bangladesh says congratulations to all the players and added that he is very happy with the bowlers. He says that they are not focused on the result and they are looking to do things better and keeping the process intact and that is the thing that has worked for then the best. He would want the batters to take up more responsibility in the next Test matches as it is not going to be easy. He is thankful to the selectors for making him the captain and all he can think now is the next Test match as he will be looking to win that and make a statement in Test cricket.

Taijul Islam is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant ten-wicket haul in the Test. He says that when you do well on an international stage and help your country win always feel good. Adds that when the seam goes off, you have to be patient and they were always focused that they had a lot of runs and there were going to be wicket-taking opportunities. Tells that the ten-wicket haul obviously lifted his spirits but he also needed support from the whole team and credits them. Says that confidence is important to stay in the right frame of mind and this win will give them a lot of confidence going into the next one.

Tim Southee, the skipper of New Zealand says that he is disappointed with the way the team played. He added that they were not able to exploit the conditions the way Bangladesh did and that is the reason which gave them the edge in the last 2 Days of the Test. He says that the wicket is pretty good, obviously in the sub-continent the ball is supposed to spin but it is still a pretty good wicket to bat on. He added that they have a couple of days off before the next Test and they will be looking to regroup and come back stronger in the coming games.

Presentation Time...

The start of Day 4 saw Najmul Hossain Shanto go back to the hut pretty quickly and New Zealand kept putting the pressure on. Rahim scored a fine half-century and got out and it was the gritty fifty from Mehidy Hasan that made sure that the hosts set up a big target for their opponents. Ajaz Patel picked up a four-wicket haul while Ish Sodhi got a couple of scalps and the rest were taken by the others. It was all Bangladesh from that point on as they came to defend 332 runs with a lot of intent. They were able to pick up the wickets of Tom Latham and Kane Williamson quite early and the latter's dismissal gave the hosts a lot of confidence to get a grip on this game. Taijul Islam once again turned out to be the best bowler and picked four wickets while good support from others meant that they reduced New Zealand to 102/7 and ended Day 4 well ahead needing just three wickets to get the victory with a lot of runs to play with and a lot of time left in the Test.

New Zealand also batted pretty well in the first innings with Kane Williamson being the standout performer scoring a fantastic century on a tricky wicket where others struggled. Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips got off to starts but could not convert them. However, they managed to see Day 2 out and it was the partnership between Tim Southee and Kyle Jamieson that helped them take a slight lead of 7 runs at the start of Day 3. It was their key spinner for the hosts, Taijul Islam being the pick of the bowlers with four wickets while Mominul Haque came as a surprise package who ended up with three wickets which included two in one over that wrapped things up for the Kiwis. The Bangladeshi openers could not do much, but their skipper Shanto and Mominul steadied things for them. The latter lost his wicket due to a miscommunication in the middle but the captain led from the front and registered a sensational hundred before Stumps and was well supported by Mushfiqur Rahim. Shanto also became the first Bangladeshi player to score a century on captaincy debut and these two helped the host take a lead of over 200 runs before the end of Moving Day.

The toss went in favour of Bangladesh and they decided to bat first. It turned out to be a good decision as they ended Day with over 300 runs courtesy of a brilliant knock of 86 runs from Mahmudul Hasan Joy and a quick-fire cameo from Najmul Hossain Shanto along with some decent contributions from most of the batters. This was also the first time, they scored over 300 runs on Day 1 against the Kiwis in a Test match. The wicket assisted the spinners right from the start with a lot of turn on offer. Surprisingly it was Glenn Phillips who exploited the conditions the most and picked up four wickets while Kyle Jamieson also bowled pretty well ending up with a couple of scalps as they wrapped things up on Day 2 very early.

New Zealand had a daunting task coming into bat on Day 5 with only three wickets in hand and well behind the target. Daryl Mitchell and Ish Sodhi looked solid from the start and were going good but an attempted sweep shot from the former cost him his wicket as Nayeem Hasan got the breakthrough for the hosts. Before getting out, Mitchell registered a fighting fifty which should give him confidence going into the next match. Southee then joined Sodhi and started counter-attacking with some big shots as they added 46 runs together which was also the highest partnership in this innings which says it all. Southee was dismissed for 34 and then Ajaz Patel and Sodhi were able to delay the inevitable for a bit, but Taijul Islam finished the job for the hosts ending up with a six-wicket haul and helping his side to a famous win.

BANGLADESH CREATES HISTORY! An exceptional performance from them and they have defeated New Zealand in a Test for the first time ever that too by a huge margin of 150 runs. Najmul Hossain Shanto starts his captaincy stint in fine fashion leading by example as well. Taijul Islam absolutely loves bowling at this ground and it was him once again who proved to be lethal with ten wickets in the match and took down the Kiwis.

We are all set to start Day 5! The Bangladeshi players are making their way out in the middle now with a hint of excitement in the air. Daryl Mitchell and Ish Sodhi to continue the innings for New Zealand and fight to save this game. Taijul Islam to start proceedings with the ball. Let's play...

PITCH REPORT - HD Ackerman is pitchside. He says that there were cracks on Day 1 but that has not affected much. Tells that the difference between the two sides is that the Kiwi spinners bowled a lot short and the Bangladeshi batters capitalised on that. Mentions that there was turn on all four days and he expects the same here and also expects New Zealand to show positive intent.

Mehidy Hasan is up for a quick chat. He says that they are definitely in a good position thanks to their bowlers and batters. Adds that the wicket is good, there is some turn but not uneven bounce. Tells they have batted well in both innings. Praises Taijul Islam for his efforts with the ball and says that he is doing this for a long time for Bangladesh. Mentions getting Kane Williamson out twice in one game is an excellent achievement. Ends by saying that, he started Test cricket as a bowler but worked hard on his batting to help his time in these conditions.

On the flip side, New Zealand, despite the slight advantage of the first-innings lead, struggled to counter the probing questions posed by the Bangladesh bowlers. Faced with a challenging target of 331 runs, the New Zealand batting lineup crumbled, losing 7 wickets for just 113 runs in 49 overs by the end of Day 4. Daryl Mitchell, the standout batter and one of the overnight batsmen, will resume his innings on 44 runs, accompanied by Ish Sodhi. The scenario is poised on a knife's edge – will Mitchell conjure a miraculous innings and etch his name in Test cricket history, or will the Bangladesh bowlers secure the remaining 3 wickets to claim a decisive advantage in the series? The answers unfold as we bring you the live action from the final day of this gripping Test match. Stay tuned for what promises to be an enthralling conclusion to the 1st Test between New Zealand and Bangladesh.

Bangladesh showcased an exemplary batting performance on Day 4, led by their skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, who marked his captaincy debut with a splendid century. The experienced Mushfiqur Rahim and the resilient Mehidy Hasan contributed with valuable half-centuries, propelling Bangladesh to a second-innings total of 338. In response, the Bangladesh spinners, supported by the lone fast bowler Shoriful Islam, exerted immense pressure on the Kiwi batters, claiming 7 wickets. Taijul Islam, in particular, was the architect of New Zealand's downfall, securing 4 crucial wickets, including the prized scalp of Kane Williamson who fell for Taijul’s arm ball for the second time in this Test match. As we head into the final day, Bangladesh is poised to wrap up the series 1-0, a significant achievement for their new Test skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto.

A warm welcome to all the cricket enthusiasts joining us on the decisive Day 5 of the thrilling 1st Test between New Zealand and Bangladesh live from the Picturesque Sylhet, Bangladesh. The game has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride, and as we step into the final day, the outcome becomes slightly tilted towards the Bangladesh side. New Zealand, has been tasked with chasing down a target of 331 runs, is finding itself at 113 for the loss of 7 wickets as we resume play with Daryl Mitchell and Ish Sodhi to take the stage and face the music.

... DAY 5, SESSION 1 ...

Right then, that is from this riveting Day 4 where Bangladesh have all but confirmed a win here barring a miracle from the Kiwis. The Bangla Tigers will be excited to take the field again and finish the job early in Day 5 which will start at 9 am IST (3.30 am GMT), but as you know, you can always join us early for all the build-up. Cheers!

New Zealand, on the other started Day 4 well with the ball as they were able to bowl out the hosts before the first hour in the second session with Ajaz Patel being the pick of the bowlers with four wickets. They knew that this target would not be an easy one in this turning track and things got even worse when they lost Tom Latham for no runs on the board in the first over. Kane Williamson also couldn't make much impact in this innings. Except for Daryl Mitchell, none of the batters were able to get going and they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Devon Conway worked hard for his 22 but he too gave in under pressure. Mitchell is still unbeaten on 44 but he does not have any recognised batter left on the other end, and will need a extra-ordinary effort with the tail-enders to get something out of this match.

Bangladesh already had a healthy lead coming into Day 4 but lost their centurion skipper, Najmul Hossain Shanto quite early. However, Mushfiqur Rahim continued to bat well and converted his start into an excellent half-century. He was dismissed for 67 but Mehidy Hasan showed his batting skills with a fine fifty as well along with the lower order to set up a huge target for their opponents. They looked pumped when they came out to defend this total in the second session and by Tea, already picked up three wickets including the big fish, Kane Williamson. The third session proved to be even more fruitful for them as their spinners exploited the conditions really well and reduced the Kiwis to 83-6. Taijul Islam finished with four wickets and they are well ahead in this game needing only three wickets for the win.

Bangladesh have dominated proceedings on Day 4! They showed good cricketing brains while batting and knew that any target above 270 would be difficult on this wicket, they went well past that. The pitch was always going to help the spinners, and that is exactly what happened with Taijul Islam once again leading from the front, they are now very close to defeating New Zealand in a Test at home for the first time in their history.

... DAY 4, SESSION 3 ...

SESSION SUMMARY - 23.4 overs, 67 runs and 6 wickets! This session well and truly belonged to Bangladesh. Firstly, it was some excellent batting from Mehidy Hasan who added crucial runs with the tail-enders and registered a fine unbeaten fifty which set up a target of 332 for the Kiwis. After coming on to bowl, Shoriful Islam set the tone for the then by getting rid of Tom Latham in the first over and some really good bowling changes from Najmul Hossain Shanto helped them to get a couple of more wickets the big one being of Kane Williamson who fell victim to Taijul Islam for the second time in this Test while Mehidy got one too. They have a firm grip on this game and with a lot of time left, they will back themselves to get over the line. New Zealand, on the other hand, would have been happy with their bowling effort as they wrapped up things in the first hour of the second session with the help of the second new ball. However, their batting haven't been great on this tricky pitch as they have already lost three wickets and still need 295 runs. The responsibility now rests on the shoulders of Daryl Mitchell and Devon Conway to take them out of this difficult situation and give them a chance in this game.
