Bangladesh v New Zealand 1st Test, on day one at Stumps NZ 280/5
New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat: at the end of day New Zealand at 280/5 (89.5 ov) vs Bangladesh
The home side take the honours in the final session by claiming three wickets prior to stumps and in doing so have clawed their way back to parity despite being outplayed and looking rather innocuous for the majority of the day.
Razzak toiled through almost 32 overs as the spinners bore the brunt of the workload but managed nevertheless to prise out the scalps required.
New Zealand will be disappointed with how proceedings ended but there were positives in the form of a sensible innings from Peter Fulton who formed a solid partnership in concert with Kane Williamson, who looked classy throughout in the process of making his fourth Test ton, whilst Hamish Rutherford, Ross Taylor and the skipper Brendon McCullum all got starts but will feel they wasted an opportunity for big runs on a pitch that remains fairly docile, although the carry seems as though it will be more inconsistent as the game goes on.
