Saifuddin reviews it straightaway but Ball Tracker shows three reds and he has to take the long walk back to the pavilion.

Flighted delivery, on off and played towards covers.

OUT! CAUGHT! Tom Blundell takes a blinder. This one is tossed up, outside off and Nurul Hasan just had to go after it. Hasan hangs back and whacks it towards the long on fence. It sounded good off the bat but it was off the toe end and hence the elevation but not the distance. Tom Blundell makes good ground from long on and takes a brilliant catch diving to his left.

NOT OUT! That was a close call! In the end, it is given in the favor of the batter. A short ball, around off and Rahim works it to short fine leg. Nurul Hasan was halfway down the track when he was sent back. The throw was at the wrong end and Tom Latham underarmed it to the bowler, who finally dislodged the bails. Nurul Hasan put in the desperate dive. It is referred. Replays show that it is way too close to call, even with the zoomer it is actually hard to decide if the bat is over the line or on the line. In the end the benefit of the doubt is given to the batter.

Short ball, around off. Rahim punches it off the back foot through point for a run.

Rahim's go-to shot comes out! The sweep, it is hit through square leg for one.

OUT! TAKEN! That is a huge, huge wicket! Ajaz Patel gets the Bangladesh skipper and he is amidst a dream spell here. Mahmudullah looks to break the shackles and rightly so, they were going nowhere playing like the way they were, the run rate needed building, he though picks the wrong bowler as Patel has not put a step wrong so far. Mahmudullah makes room as he wants to target the off side. Ajaz Patel bowls it wide and slow. Makes Mahmudullah reach out for it. The batter looks to go over cover but it goes off the toe end straight to Nicholls. Bangladesh in dire straits now. 

OUT! TIMBER! Two in two for Patel and he has 4! A first-baller for Afif. This is also an important wicket, Afif Hossain is a lovely timer of the ball, we have seen what he is capable of in the recent series against Australia. New Zealand at the moment, all over Bangladesh. Afif Hossain will be disappointed. Not the best of balls, it is very full and outside off. Afif looks to jam it out but ends up playing down the down the wrong line. It lands, spins back in and hits the off pole. Bangladesh now need a miracle.

No Hat-Trick! Not the best of balls though. It is short and outside off, Hasan slaps it but to covers.

BEATEN! Lovely stuff! Slows it up, lands it on off and gets it to turn away. Hasan is beaten as he tries to block.

A single to end! Outside off, it is slapped through covers for one. So another over where Patel has taken two wickets.

A little too full and outside off, it is hit through covers for one.

Now the one that comes in with the angle, it is quicker and on off, blocked.

Shorter and outside off, this is slapped through covers for another single. Rotation of strike the key at the moment.

Another one as this is yet again hit through covers. Rachin Ravindra ha been a little too short on the last two balls.

Again, shorter, this time quicker, Mahmudullah guides it to point. A dot, dots will only build pressure.

Gets away with another one! Two dots to end a tidy over. Quicker and on middle, Mahmudullah plays it back to the bowler.

Slower and shorter, takes ages to arrive, Rahim mistimes it towards deep square leg for one.

Outside off, Mahmudullah is off the mark as he guides it down to third man.

WIDE! Gets this one to grip off the surface but lands it on middle. It spins down the leg side. Wided.

Angled into the pads, Rahim works it through square leg for one.

That was quite sharp! A yorker outside off, Mahmudullah looks to jam it out but it goes off the bottom of the bat towards third man for one more.

WIDE! Another extra! On a wicket where runs are hard to come by, extras could be vital. Already the second wide in the over. Scott Kuggeleijn needs to bowl with more control. He is drifting it a little too down the leg side, does that again. Wided.

Better! This is quick and outside off, Rahim slashes but is beaten for pace. There is a vast difference in his slower one and the quicker one.

A single to end! Goes full and on middle, Rahim works it through mid-wicket for one. End of a long over.

OUT! CHOPPED ON! That's the fourth one down for Bangladesh. Rachin Ravindra flights this one fuller and outside off. Mohammad Naim goes for the cover drive but his feet don't move as he inside-edges it back onto the stumps. Naim was the set batsman out there and he will be disappointed to get out at this moment. Rachin Ravindra once again proves his worth with the ball and New Zealand are in a commanding position now.

Full, outside of. Rahim drives it to covers.

Length ball, outside off. Rahim bottom edges it back onto the deck.

Tossed up, outside off and that one turned sharply. Hasan is bamboozled.

OUT! CAUGHT! Ajaz Patel has provided the breakthrough. Patel set Hasan up nicely with the flighted deliveries. This one is on a length and on middle. Mahedi Hasan pulls it straight to short mid-wicket, where Henry Nicholls takes a really nice diving catch. New Zealand are getting on top of things now.

Shakib Al Hasan gives the charge and Patel bowls a slower one. Al Hasan gets beaten in flight and the ball hits him on the gloves.

WIDE! Spilled down the leg side and left alone. Wided.

OUT! CAUGHT! Shakib Al Hasan with a reckless shot. Al Hasan steps out of his crease and doesn't quite get to the pitch of the flighted delivery. Shakib Al Hasan tries to force the big shot and mistimes it straight to long on. Cole McConchie settles under it and takes a fine catch. Ajaz Patel gets two wickets in the over. Bangladesh are in big trouble now.

OUT! LBW! Liton Das has thrown his wicket away. Cole McConchie pulls back the length a bit and bowls it slower on off stump. The ball is turning in and Das just looks to whack it on the leg side.

Tossed up, full on middle. Hasan pushes it to long on for a run.
