Mitchell Santner to Towhid Hridoy
OUT! TAKEN! Mitchell Santner breaks through for New Zealand! Is this the start of a fightback from the Kiwis? Santner hangs this one up in the air, on a length, outside off, Towhid Hridoy steps out but does not get to the pitch of the delivery. He still goes through the shot as he looks to push it away but ends up chipping it towards extra cover. Daryl Mitchell stationed there, dives forward and grabs it inches off the ground.

Tim Southee to Afif Hossain
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Tim Southee gets into the act now! Bangladesh will start to feel the pressure now! Southee bangs it into the deck, at the batter from around the wicket, Afif Hossain tries to take on the short ball but he is in no position whatsoever. The ball gets big on him and splices it in the air towards James Neesham at short mid-wicket who makes no mistake. Tim Southee gets his first wicket and Bangladesh have now lost half their side!

Tim Southee to Litton Das
NOT OUT! Litton Das survives as technology comes to his aid! Tim Southee comes from over the wicket and bowls it on a good length, on middle, Litton Das plays a risky shot as he walks across his stumps and look to clip away off his pads. He fails to connect and gets pinged on the front pad. A loud shout and up goes the finger. Litton Das takes the review. Nothing on UltraEdge but guess what? Ball Tracking shows the ball to be going over the stumps. Litton Das breathes a sigh of relief as do the Bangladesh fans!

SIX! That is drama at its level best. Ish Sodhi might just have dropped the match and the ball is confirmed as SIX. Pitched up on the stumps and Litton Das plays a paddle scoop taking the ball straight down Ish Sodhi's throat at fine leg who is not aware where the rope is. He catches it when his back foot touches the boundary line and concedes a six. What a miss for New Zealand.
