Bangladesh v NZ, 2nd Test, Mirpur, 5th day: Bangladesh impress but rain forces draw
Bangladesh 282 (Tamim 95, Wagner 5-64) and 269 for 3 (Mominul 126*, Tamim 70) drew with New Zealand 437 (Anderson 116, Watling 70*, Shakib 5-103)
Overnight rain and a persistent light drizzle through the day ruined the last day's play in the second Test, in Mirpur. That meant Bangladesh had registered their second successive drawn series after finishing 1-1 against Zimbabwe in April this year. The 0-0 result against New Zealand, a team ranked higher than them in the Test rankings, is a fine result for the home side. They have now drawn three Tests against New Zealand in eleven matches.
The covers came on and off twice in Mirpur in the morning session, but they remained on since 11.00am. The rain never progressed into a downpour, but it was enough to bring everything to a standstill.
Mominul Haque, with his 376 runs in four innings, and Sohag Gazi, with eight wickets, take the top positions in the batting and bowling charts for the series. For New Zealand, Kane Williamson is the top run-scorer with 250 runs, while Neil Wagner's seven-wicket tally ranks the best among his team's bowlers.
Mominul, however, missed a chance to topple Habibul Bashar's record for aggregate runs in a series by a Bangladesh batsman. Bashar had made 379 runs against Pakistan in a three-match series in 2003. Mominul's tally is second on the list.
The two teams now play a three-match ODI series, starting on October 29. New Zealand depart from Bangladesh on November 7, a day after the one-off Twenty20.

Bangladesh v NZ, 2nd Test, Mirpur, 3rd day: Anderson's maiden ton hands NZ advantage
New Zealand 419 for 8 (Anderson 116, Watling 59*, Shakib 5-97) lead Bangladesh 282 by 137 runs
Corey Anderson scored his maiden Test century with a calculated dominance of the Bangladesh attack. His 116 led the way for New Zealand as they ended the third day of the second Test on 419 for 8 with a lead of 137.
Shakib Al Hasan's five-wicket haul was the only solace for the home side, who endured a late, 84-run ninth-wicket partnership between BJ Watling and Ish Sodhi. On a pitch that is offering more turn every day, the stand further dented the confidence of the Bangladesh bowlers. Watling was unbeaten on 59 and Sodhi on 53, the legspinner's maiden Test fifty.

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.

The 22-year-old shone in the series opener in Chittagong earlier this month. He became the first cricketer in history to score a century and claim a hat-trick in the same Test, propelling him to instant stardom in the success-starved nation. Gazi, who has played seven Tests in his fledgling career, returns on Monday to the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka -- scene of his outstanding nine-wicket debut against West Indies last year -- for the second and final Test of the series.
The off-spinner, who has since emerged as a bright all-round prospect, scored an unbeaten 101 in the first Test against New Zealand before taking 6-77 in the tourists' second innings including a hat-trick. "In the second match my aim will be to keep this streak," Gazi said. "I don't know if I will break a record again or not, but I am thinking about taking a five-for again.
"Actually, there is nothing different to do. The manner in which I bowled in the last match, I will try to bowl in a similar way. I will work on the little mistakes that I made in the previous game." Gazi is hoping the wicket will offer some assistance to the Bangladesh spinners after they were frustrated by a flat batting pitch in Chittagong for long periods.
And the Test series will be followed by three one-day Internationals and a Twenty20 International, both teams squad as follows:
Bangladesh (Squad): Mushfiqur Rahim (capt), Mohammad Mahmudullah, Anamul Haque, Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, Nasir Hossain, Abdur Razzak, Naeem Islam, Sohag Gazi, Rubel Hossain, Mominul Haque, Marshall Ayub, Robiul Islam, Al-Amin Hossain.
New Zealand (Squad): Brendon McCullum (capt), Peter Fulton, Hamish Rutherford, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Dean Brownlie, BJ Watling, Tom Latham, Corey Anderson, Doug Bracewell, Neil Wagner, Trent Boult, Mark Gillespie, Ish Sodhi, Bruce Martin.

Bangladesh's Sohag Gazi followed a maiden Test century with a hat-trick to light up the final stages of the first Test against New Zealand, which ended in a draw in Chittagong on Sunday. The 22-year-old off-spinner had Corey Anderson leg-before, Bradley-John Watling caught behind and Doug Bracewell caught in the slips off successive balls at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury stadium.
Gazi's hat-trick, which gave him his sixth wicket in the innings, saw the Black Caps slump from 260-4 to 260-7 in their second knock after lunch on the fifth and final day. The tourists declared the innings closed at 287-7, leaving Bangladesh a target of 256 runs in a minimum of 45 overs to win the Test and take the lead in the two-match series.
The hosts showed no appetite to chase the stiff target and ended play on 173-3 in the 49th over, with Shakib Al Hasan unbeaten on 50 and newcomer Mominul Haque on 22. Gazi, who hit an unbeaten 101 batting at number eight on Saturday, joined Alok Kapali as only the second Bangladesh bowler to claim a Test hat-trick.
Kapali had achieved the feat against Pakistan in Peshawar in 2003 when he dismissed tailenders Shabbir Ahmed, Danish Kaneria and Umar Gul in three consecutive deliveries. "This was obviously a very good Test match for me, it has made me believe I belong to this level," said Gazi. "I will go into the next match with a lot of self-confidence."
Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim said his team, ranked at the bottom of the table at number 10, dominated a major part of the match.

Tamim Iqbal hasn't scored a Test century in the past three years. And Though his colleagues have progressed on that front, a big score from their opener is as crucial to the team's success.
Going through nine Tests Tamim Iqbal without a century can't be labeled a crisis, but the wait for Tamim Iqbal has been for more than three years. The dry period hasn't affected his position in the team, but neither is it befitting for an opener of such high regard.
Bangladesh's opponents would always consider him among the three or four players who could be trouble. Tamim Iqbal has been Bangladesh's mainstay in the top order, and his aggression has always threatened good bowling attacks. His approach has remained almost the same over the last six years since his Test debut.
After his initial burst in the 2007 World Cup, Tamim had to rebuild his to all game on the leg side with Jamie Siddons, he was former Bangladesh coach. And this development in his game was considered as a factor that set him apart from any opener who has played for Bangladesh. He reeled off seven centuries in the three seasons after March 2008, but it all stopped in June 2010.
All the best to Tamim Iqbal to his coming Test and ODI tournament against New Zealand tour of Bangladesh from tomorrow onward's 1st test match starts.

New Zealand in Bangladesh, 2013-14: 'Will definitely miss Saqlain' - Gazi
Sohag Gazi, the Bangladesh offspinner, admitted he will miss spin bowling consultant Saqlain Mushtaq as he prepares for the home series against New Zealand.
This will be Gazi's second series without Saqlain, who has a 100-day per year contract with the BCB. Saqlain was with the team for the West Indies series in 2012 and the tour of Zimbabwe in May this year and although he had announced intentions of joining the team last month, the BCB's cricket operations committee preferred to use his services for the World T20 at home next March.

Ireland v Bangladesh, 3rd T20, Stormont

Just when Ireland thought they finally had the beating of Bangladesh, a savage batting assault by Mashrafe Mortaza ended their hopes and gave the visitors a 3-0 win in the series. That margin was unfair to the Irish, who took two games to the very last ball.

Having lost the first game of this three-match series by 71 runs on Wednesday, Ireland had a point to prove. But while the margin of defeat this time was the narrowest possible, their pain was considerably greater because they know they should have won this Twenty20 international and claimed the scalp of Bangladesh for the third time in five years.

| Dav Whatmore: "I really don't have any problems with security." |
Dav Whatmore, the Pakistan coach, has said he is "disappointed" with the postponement of Bangladesh's proposed tour of Pakistan following a court stay order. Whatmore also said that he had not faced any security issues during his two-month stay in Pakistan.
Bangladesh had agreed to visit Pakistan in the last week of this month for an ODI and a T20I, both scheduled to be played in Lahore, but the tour was delayed on April 19 with a Dhaka court ordering a four-week embargo over security concerns.
"It is a bit disappointing," Whatmore said. "We were planning to quickly get started with training, but all that has been knocked on the head with Bangladesh not coming."
Whatmore, who was born in Sri Lanka and immigrated early to Australia, coached the

Bangladesh need to play more Tests - Tamim Iqbal
 |
| More Tests, not less, is the solution to improving Bangladesh's fortunes as a Test-playing nation, says Tamim Iqbal |
Tamim Iqbal has said Bangladesh's performance in the Asia Cup was a turning point in its cricket history but his team could only carry such form into the five-day format if it played Test matches on a more regular basis. According to the Future Tours Programme, Bangladesh only play 42 Test matches until the end of 2020, with no tours of India and England. Their next Test assignment is against Zimbabwe in August.
"That's the main problem for Bangladesh," Tamim, 23, told ESPNcricinfo. "The moment we start to do well in Test match cricket, we get a year's break or a 14-month break. If we want to really improve in Test match cricket, we need to play the format a lot more. You see us playing ODI cricket for quite some time and quite regularly, and the performance is changing. The world is seeing that Bangladesh is coming up. It's the same with Test cricket.
"We need to play a lot of Test matches to improve, to gain confidence, to learn how to
