Christchurch, Jan 20
New Zealand’s pace duo of Tim Southee (5/94) and Trent Boult (4/87) restricted Bangladesh to 289 in their first innings on the opening day of the second and final Test at Hagley Oval here today.
Put in to bat, Bangladesh started the match on a poor note as they lost their first wicket in the fourth over. New Zealand pacer Tim Southee dismissed Tamim Iqbal (5) with just seven runs on the board. After six overs, new batsman Mohammad Mahmudullah (19) was also sent packing by Trent Boult.
Just when things were looking bad for the visitors, opener Soumya Sarkar (86) and Shakib Al Hasan (59) added 127 runs for the third wicket before Sarkar was taken by Southee in the 36th over. Sarkar's 104-ball knock was laced with 11 boundaries. — IANS
