New Zealand vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test, Day 3, Highlights: New Zealand came roaring back into the second Test, crushing Bangladesh by an innings and 117 runs as the hosts levelled the two-Test series 1-1 at the Hagley Oval here on Tuesday.
Despite a brilliant century from Litton Das, who smashed 102 off 114 deliveries laced with 14 boundaries and a six, the tourists could only manage 278 in 79.3 overs as tall pace bowler Kyle Jamieson (4/82) and Neil Wagner (3/77) ran through the Bangladesh side to avenge the eight-wicket first-Test defeat.
Bangladesh were bowled out in the final over the second day for 126 in reply to New Zealand’s imposing 521.
In a steadier start to their second innings the Bangladesh opening pair put on 27 for the first wicket, having been five down at the same stage first time around.
Shadman Islam, who opened the day with a four off the gloves from Tim Southee’s first delivery, reached 21 before edging a leg-side delivery from Kyle Jamieson and wicketkeeper Tom Blundell took a fine one-handed diving catch.
In his following over, Jamieson found the edge of Najmul Hossain Shanto’s bat but the chance was dropped by Daryl Mitchell at third slip.
Shanto batted briskly to reach 29 when he faced a barrage of short deliveries from Neil Wagner and eventually could not resist attempting a pull shot and was caught by Trent Boult on the boundary.
Debutant Mohammad Naim, who made a five-ball duck in the first innings, was unbeaten on 15 off 81 deliveries at lunch with Mominul Haque on two.
