Mustafizur Rahman to James Neesham
OUT! NEESHAM HOLES OUT! Bangladesh in it by just! Still 30 needed in 28. Rahman goes full this time and it works. It is a slower one. Neesham is early into the stroke and only manages to hit it high up in the air towards long on. The fielder, Sarkar, takes it comfortably.

Taskin Ahmed to Tom Latham
FOUR! 100 for Latham! Take a bow the Kiwi skipper! What a knock. Walked out when New Zealand were in big, big trouble and now has taken his side right on top. What a shot to get to the ton. A short one on middle, Latham rolls his wrists over the ball, keeps it down and pulls it behind square on the leg side for a boundary. The helmet is off and the crowd is on its feet acknowledging the applause.

Does not carry! Once again luck favoring Latham! Shorter, Latham comes down the track and looks to pull but it takes the inside edge, then hits Latham's body and then lands short of the keeper who dives forward. 13 needed in 18.

SCORES LEVEL! This is a length ball and on middle, Mitchell heaves it over the mid-wicket fielder. Does not time it right and hence, two.

Mohammad Saifuddin to Tom Latham
Confusion, a slip but all safe in the end!  On the pads, Latham looks to flick but misses. It hits the pad and rolls on the off side. Mitchell wants a run and sets off. Latham is not interested. Mitchell slips as he looks to turn back to get in. The fielder though misses his shy at the bowler's end.

FOUR! There it is, there are the winning runs! A low full toss on the pads, Latham, the star for New Zealand, works it through square leg and it races away. NEW ZEALAND WIN BY 5 WICKETS!
