New Zealand restrict Bangladesh to 244

After been invited to bat first, Bangladeshi batsmen failed to set a big total against demanding New Zealand as they reeled back in facing Kiwi’s simmers and lost wickets in a regular interval.

Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson invited Bangladesh to bat as he fancied the fresh surface, and hopes to unleash Trent Boult to cause some havoc against the team that posted 330 first-up on this same ground on Sunday.The match began at 6:30 BST (12:30 GMT). Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar opened the innings for Bangladesh side.

Soumya Sarkar succumbed by canny bowling from Matt Henry at 8.3 over. Henry rolling the fingers on a full-length delivery, and wriggling into the timbers via a flick off the knee, as Soumya was deceived by the change of pace and missed his flick off the toes through midwicket.
