Boult to Subashis Roy, OUT, another inswinging yorker, this one from over the wicket, shoots through the defences of Roy. Cracking delivery. It would have nabbed any top-order batsman. Mushfiq isn't here at Basin Reserve, so NZ need 217 in 57 overs

Southee to Imrul Kayes, FOUR, beats long leg again. Beware the wounded batsman, NZ. Kayes won't run, he can't run. He's dealing in boundaries. Hip-high short ball on leg or just outside, swatted away fine of fine leg again

Southee to Imrul Kayes, no run, tests Kayes with a lifter on middle stump, Kayes judges the bounce well enough and sinks under it

Tommy Hunt: "This is some real courage shown by Kayes. It reminds me of Gavin Larsen batting one handed in a Shell Cup final after splitting his webbing in his hand in the field. Time to nip out of the office and head to the basin."

Boult to Sabbir Rahman, OUT, and Sabbir loses his head. Slashed behind. In-between length - neither full nor short - and angling away wide outside off, Sabbir could have left that alone. He flays at it and thickly edges it behind. Dolly for Watling. Impressive innings under pressure from Sabbir nevertheless

Southee to Imrul Kayes, no run, he is welcomed by a lifter outside off, Kayes is struggling to duck under it. Somehow does it

Kayes hobbles out to the middle. He will bat despite the thigh injury.

Tim: "It seems like the biggest challenge Bangladesh is facing at the moment is the reliability of the bounce. Good luck to Kayes with that. "
