5.32pm Bangladesh have put up 141 for 6 - they'll take this total. After Naim and Liton added 59 for the opening stand, New Zealand struck back through Ravindra and Ajaz. McConchie, too, did a decent job, but Mahmudullah gave the innings the finishing kick, with an unbeaten 37 off 32 balls. We will back shortly for the chase. Cheers.

james: "Afif Hossain has shown great promise for Bangladesh so far. He helped chase down a tricky total against Australia just in that last series. At the same time, some of these guys need to bulk up more - a player with more muscle would've cleared the boundary playing the same shot Afif played to get himself out."

Bennett to Nurul Hasan, 1 run, 108.6ks slower ball from Bennett, plunges on Nurul. He aims for a scoop/sweep, but this it too full for it and there's no pace really. Not given out lbw, but Bennett challenges the on-field not-out decision. Replays suggest Nurul had nicked it

Matthew: "This bowling effort shows what NZ could've done in the first match if they'd had something decent to defend. Something to be positive about, for sure. "

Tasin: "This is the problem with BD. They just can't reach the boundaries in terms of 6s - especially in T20s. And I think that playing in these pitches and getting used to only flicking the balls don't help the cause."
