9.35pm The covers are off, the drizzle has eased and we should have play resuming very shortly. New Zealand's innings has drawn to a close. Bangladesh to chase 148 in 16 overs, awaiting confirmation. The officials are still in discussion. Colleague Sampath Bandarupalli, from our stats team, says his DLS sheet says the target should be 171 in 16 overs.

9.30pm He's picking wickets now, but would you know what Ish Sodhi would be doing in a couple of weeks from now, at the IPL? Nope, not what you guessed.

9.24pm Hosing down, sadly. This is as good a time as any to read Deiva Muthu's lovely profile of Finn Allen, New Zealand's new batting dynamite.

9.12pm No official update yet, but the rain's certainly not relenting at this point.

8.57pm Rain's heavier, it appears. If New Zealand's innings is abandoned now, Bangladesh will have to chase 179 in 17 overs.

8.51pm The umpires have had their second chat this over, and this time they've made the decision to go off. Covers coming on again.

Taskin Ahmed to Mitchell, FOUR, steps across off stump and ramps that over short fine. Anticipates the yorker. Gets a full toss just outside off and is right behind that as he crouches to create leverage. Expertly done

Taskin Ahmed to Mitchell, no run, nails the yorker. Just outside off and has Mitchell swinging wildly to no avail

Mohammad Saifuddin to Mitchell, 1 run, length and wide outside, inside edge as he clears the front leg and looks to hammer that on the rise

Mohammad Saifuddin to Mitchell, FOUR, oh misses his length again. Overpitched at middle stump, shuffles and whips through the line of this to fine that midwicket boundary again
16.3

Mohammad Saifuddin to Mitchell, FOUR, clubbed to the deep midwicket boundary! This is overpitched and into his swing at leg stump. Half a stride and full intent to put that away. Not quite off the middle but hit well enough
16.2
4
Mohammad Saifuddin to Mitchell, FOUR, swiped between deep midwicket and long-on. Attempted slower ball, it appears. Short of a length and sitting up nicely for the pull. Gets it off the front foot
