Could be a vulnerable time coming up for BD though, with the new ball likely against the lower order (if they can prise open an end).

Hundred partnership (meanwhile). Excellent effort.

some performance by shakib and rahim

340+ partnership so far and shakib approaching a double hundred

double hundred up for shakib, by far his biggest score in tests

after losing the toss and being put in by NZ as well as alot of rain around yesterday this is a pretty impressive performance

Great day for Bangladesh.

Awkward wonder what making splinters is thinking now.

brilliant innings from Shakib and most of the bangladeshi batsman.

To put this performance to perspective the kiwi comms were saying on the morning a bowling day and day 2 should have more help for the seam bowlers than day 1.

Early wicket for the excellent Waggy.

Declaration. Surprisingly not BD's highest Test score, but best outside Asia.

Well done to Shak on his BD record.

Opening the bowling with Mehedi Hasan!

These type of pitches, with this type of bowling. I would expect Taylor to get a big score.

I accept BD don't have any experienced pace bowlers.

Kamrul strikes with his first ball!

Should be fill your boots time.

Not for Jeets2 though, obviously.
