At tea on the fourth day, New Zealand were still trailing by 62 runs
New Zealand 328 and 68 for 2 (Young 32*, Taylor 4*) trail Bangladesh 458 (Mominul 88, Litton 86, Boult 4-85) by 62 runs
Two wickets in the post-lunch session helped Bangladesh feel more confident, and kept New Zealand in a corner, still trailing by 62 runs. The Mount Maunganui pitch hasn’t shown any real sign of wear and tear, despite it being day four, which should encourage the home side, but they are still under the pump.
There could have been two wickets in the space of eight balls but Litton Das dropped Young on 31. It was a straightforward chance for the wicketkeeper, and could have been a further blow for New Zealand.
When Tim Southee removed Mehidy in his 36th over of the day, it was also his first wicket in 468 balls in Test cricket. Kyle Jamieson also got his first wicket in the match when he had Yasir caught down the leg side for 26. Trent Boult then took his fourth wicket – clean bowling Shoriful Islam – when he was brought back late in the session.
