5.52pm So New Zealand need 109 to win and there is just over an hour to go for close. nineteen overs left in the day, but if, at 7pm, they are close to a result, the match can be extended by another half an hour. There will be just under an hour when New Zealand walk out to bat after the mid-innings interval. It will all depend on how quickly they set about knocking off these runs.A highly entertaining ninth-wicket stand has taken Bangladesh to 173, but it was too little too late. Severe lack of application from the top-order has done them in. That Bangladesh got there was courtesy Taskin Ahmed and Kamrul Islam Rabbi. Can the duo do something with the new ball to at least give New Zealand a scare? Back shortly with the final innings of the Test

Southee to Rubel Hossain, OUT, brilliant catch from BJ Watling. He was backtracking and judges it to perfection as the ball stays in the air and goes back some distance after Rubel gets a top-edge on the pull shot

Boult to Taskin Ahmed, OUT, and the yorker does the trick. Goes through the defence. Gets it to tail in which means the ball beats the inside edge and crashes into the stumps. Ends a frustrating stand but how many valuable runs have these two added? That partnership was 51 and the lead is now 101. Another 50-60 for the last wicket could make this game interesting again
