Bangladesh allout 1st innings on the second morning
Bangladesh v NZ, 2nd Test, Mirpur, 2nd day: Shakib strikes dent New Zealand
Lunch New Zealand 32 for 2 (Williamson 1*, Shakib 2-1) trail Bangladesh 282 (Tamim 95, Wagner 5-64) by 250 runs
It took just an hour for Bangladesh to lose their final five wickets on the second morning, Neil Wagner
picking up his first five-for in Tests as the hosts were restricted to
282 after an overnight 228 for 5. However, just when it seemed the
session belonged to New Zealand, Shakib Al Hasan
struck a couple of big blows for Bangladesh, dismissing both the
visiting openers in his 1.2 overs, as a result of which New Zealand went
in to lunch at 32 for 2, and are in danger of undoing the good work
done by their bowlers on day two. Pacer Wagner and legspinner Ish Sodhi held a tight rein in the morning,
bowling accurately, lines and lengths that cost the Bangladesh batsmen
whenever they attempted a false stroke.
Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim was the
first to go on the day, sucked into a square drive by Wagner and
mis-hitting to be caught at gully for 18. Nasir, who had driven on the
up just short of Brendon MuCullum at cover earlier in the day, fell to
Sodhi soon after, caught at slip. Wagner went on to polish off the tail
in good time, finishing with 5 for 64, as Bangladesh lasted only 20
overs after the resumption.
Peter Fulton and and Hamish Rutherford seemed resolute for New Zealand
and had the lunch interval in their sights when Shakib, unsurprisingly,
provided Bangladesh with vital breakthroughs. With his sixth ball,
Shakib had Rutherford offering short leg a catch, and with his eighth he
had Fulton lbw with a quicker ball. And that turned out to be the final
delivery before lunch.
