Liton, Mominul move Bangladesh past New Zealand total in first Test

Replying to the hosts’ first innings rating of 328, 4 of the highest
six Bangladesh batsmen registered half-centuries.

Mehidy Hasan was batting on 20 at stumps with Yasir Ali on 11
after Bangladesh added 226 runs to their in a single day rating dropping 4 wickets.

Overnight batsman Mahmudul Hasan (78) was the first of the 4 to
fall after Bangladesh had resumed on 175-2 on the Bay Oval in opposition to the world
Test champions. Neil Wagner acquired him caught at gully for his third wicket in the
match.

Mominul (88) capitalised on two reprieves early in his knock.
First Kyle Jamieson spilled a return catch earlier than Wagner was discovered to have
bowled a no-ball after Mominul was caught behind.

Trent Boult (3-61) bowled Mushfiqur Rahim for 12 however Mominul and
Liton mixed in a 158-run stand to disclaim New Zealand any success in the center
session.

Boult finally dismissed Mominul lbw. The batsman reviewed the
resolution but it surely was upheld after replays confirmed the ball would have hit the
center stump.

Liton (86) too fell in need of his hundred, slashing at a Boult
supply outdoors the off-stump and providing an edge to wicketkeeper Tom
Blundell.

“They performed actually, rather well. They made us come again and
bowl spell after spell,” Boult told reporters.

“The wicket is clearly a fairly good one, however we hung in
there. I suppose the sport didn’t advance an excessive amount of.

“To get a few wickets in the top was good. Another massive
day tomorrow.”
