Bangladesh tour of New Zealand (2022)

220/4.

Lunch.

Bangladesh have scored 45 runs and lost 2 wickets during this session.
 
New Zealands session. But BD still very much in it.

Need a couple of big scores from the remaining batters. A lead of 100 needed from the position Bd were in at the start.
 
BD must take advantage. Day 1 was a bowling day. Since then its been a batting paradise. BD have had the best bowling and batting conditions (no luck involved - that's how the game goes). They need to get a big total.
 
Time for Litton to dig in and go big.
I always admired his stylish batting, especially his Asia cup 2018 100 against us.
Even in the day night test in calcutta he hit a few boundaries after being struck on the head.
Trouble is he is BD's KL, good in patches and looks a million dollars when on song but has concentration or intensity lapses and gets out chasing a wide one.

You mean Kl Rahul?
 
53 runs partnership , both batsmen well set , they need to make it big here to put Kiwis under presuure
 
It will be fantastic if BD can force NZ to take the 3rd new ball.
 
Great to see Bangaldesh playing so well and against a very tough pace attack. Pakistan better put up a hell of a fight next time they go to NZ. Last few tours have been completely dreadful.
 
If these two can bat out another 20 - 25 overs Bangladesh would be in a very strong position
 
Amazing effort by Bangladesh. This is not an ordinary attack they face. Full strength New zealand attack. Hope they memorize this performance and replicate in other matches as well. Good test match batting.
 
Likely Bangla will still end up losing 2-0 but already they have competed harder than either of Pak or Ind on their last tours of NZ

They should not be satisfied with 'competing'. First, make sure that they can't lose this test and then if possible try to win.
 
BD tail is pretty bad.

If Kiwis can get 2-3 more wickets quickly, they can wrap this up.
 
300 up for Bangladesh , six wickets in hand , if they bat well 100 runs lead can put kiwis under pressure

But the pitch is flat. NZ bowlers barring Wagner need juicy pitches otherwise they are pretty harmless.
 
It's really great effort z go on and defeat them at home , tigers.Take the Neil wegener out of the attack and they will be ok.
 
NZ bowlers have been exposed on a grassless pitch. There is a reason why their bowling line up has never delivered in Australia
 
But the pitch is flat. NZ bowlers barring Wagner need juicy pitches otherwise they are pretty harmless.

We made 242, 191, 165, 124 against the same attack. Before we say those were helpful tracks, we let NZ score 348 runs in one of the test. BD managed to roll them over for 328. Our batting sucked big time. No Shakib. Rahim didn't contribute much. Yet they are bossing the game.
 
NZ 328
BAN 311/4 (119.4) CRR: 2.6
Day 3: 3rd Session - Bangladesh trail by 17 runs

Amazing stuff.
 
Bangladesh in lead now , six wickets to play with , they should target 100 runs lead from here at least
 
this is getting interesting, but can bangla hold on? remember they once scored 500+ in NZ, took the lead and still lost the match

my money is still on NZ winning this
 
Bangladesh are into the lead - the first time that they have done so in a Test match batting second outside Asia!
If they can get 80-100 runs lead and then bowl out NZ.. Well too early for now.
But BD can do something special here. Will be a big boost and may be the confidence they need in the test.
 
What a pleasant surprise!

BD should just bat and bat with still lots of time left in the game. They won't get a better opportunity to win a test match in SENA for the first time ever.
 
This is unbelievable, there were many, including myself , who were questioning BD's test status and here they are proving everyone wrong , performing better than Pakistan and India ( for the time being )did in NZL. Great job, .
 
Wicket has completely flattened out. Unless it starts taking turn (which is very very rare in NZ), this game has a draw written all over it.

this test is going to be either draw if the pitch remains as flat as this or a NZ win if bangla do their ususal routine and collapses in 2nd innings

Below is one match which had draw written all over it but BD managed to lose this match, so anything is possible except a BD win

Maybe we should Pakistan some credit for how much they dominated Bangladesh at home in the Test series. They're doing quite vs NZ.
 
Good test match .. upper hand in test match against world champion in their own home .. excellent
 
Monminul bats both feet outside the crease against Kyle jamieson. Balls mot carrying. Looks like they are trundling after being on the field for so long. Bd should cash in
 
Why NZ persist with Ravindra? This guy doesn't have any talent to represent NZ.
 
BD needs at least 50 more runs to press advantage. Batting last could be tricky due to the pressure.
 
Great day for Bangladesh ,add 50 runs more so lead around 125 .still long way to go in this test
 
Great effort by Bangladesh batters. Liton and Mominul should have pressed on for a 100.. But good effort overall.
Hopefully BanglaDesh can press on and make some history.
 
Unexpected performance by Bangladesh. They really deserve some praise for this.
Pitch is flat now and will offer some turn. Bangladesh need to swallow their lead upto 150 and let their spinner do rest of the work.
Bangladesh can create history here but they are renowned chockers. I'm grabbing my popcorns..
 
Test 400+ totals by visiting teams in last five years in New Zealand:

Bangladesh - 3 times
All other teams - 1 time
Pitch also Flats whenever Bangladesh tour still this is good achievement by Bangladesh
 
Very good performance. Hope they can known NZ off cheaply as chasing anything more than 190 will be tough
 
Very good performance by bangladesh , hopefully they can add 75 more and try to win by an innings.
 
Indian pacers in these conditions would have focused on reverse swing. England and NZ pacers in comparison are clueless and have zero reverse swing skills when there is no grass on the pitch
