NZ vs BAN 2nd Test, Day 1 Stumps: Tom Latham & Devon Conway take honours on Day 1; NZ 349/1 – Follow Day 1 Live Updates
Skipper Tom Latham scored a remarkable century as New Zealand dominated Day 1 of the ongoing second Test against Bangladesh here at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch on Sunday.
At stumps, New Zealand’s score read 349/1 with Latham (186*) and Devon Conway (99*) currently present at the crease. Sent into bat, New Zealand got off to a remarkable start as openers Latham and Will Young put the Bangladesh bowlers on backfoot by registering boundaries quite easily. Both batters played out the first session, ensuring that the hosts do not lose any wickets.
Both batters went past their 50-run mark, and ended up forming a 148-run opening stand. Bangladesh finally got the wicket in the 38th over as Shoriful Islam had Young (54) dismissed. However, Latham marched on and he brought up his 12th Test century in the 45th over of the innings.
Devon Conway next came out to the middle and he also registered his half-century and this gave further advantage to the hosts. Latham continued on from where he left off, bringing up his 150 and Bangladesh’s backs were against the wall, as New Zealand’s score read 270/1 after the end of the 71st over.
In the end, Latham and Conway ensured that New Zealand does not lose more wickets and the hosts have nine wickets in hand.

“He is carrying a groin injury and chances are slim regarding his participation in the second Test against New Zealand,” the team official told Cricbuzz.
“In the morning our physio will have a look at him before we make a final call but if he fails to make it to the XI in that case Nurul is front runner to replace him,” he added.

The Black Caps see the picturesque central city ground as a safe haven and point to an impressive Test record of six wins, a loss and a draw at the oval. The last time New Zealand lost a match at the venue was back in 2016 to Australia.

The emerald wicket suits their swing and seam attack and they expect to atone for their shock loss to the tourists in the first Test. But Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo said his side had the confidence of youth and were not impressed by Hagley Oval’s reputation.

“They want to try and do what no other Bangladesh side’s done before and that’s win a series in New Zealand. They’re halfway there, the job’s not done, but they’re very driven to try and achieve something very special,” Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo said.

In the first Test at Mount Maunganui, which Bangladesh won by eight wickets, seven members of the New Zealand side were older than 30 and only two — Kyle Jamieson and Rachin Ravindra — were under 28. In the victorious Bangladesh side, eight players were under 28 and Domingo said that was a critical element in their preparation.

“It’s a young side so they don’t come here with all the scars that some of the older players have gained from playing against New Zealand so many times,” he said.
New Zealand captain Tom Latham said he expected Bangladesh to be full of confidence but maintained the Hagley factor would favour New Zealand.
“It’s a completely different surface to what was up at the Mount and we know we’ve played some really good cricket here in recent years. With the extra pace and carry here it does suit our bowlers,” Tom Latham said.
Ross Taylor to play last match – Tom Latham added New Zealand had the additional incentive of providing a victorious farewell for senior batsman Ross Taylor, in his final Test before retiring from international cricket.

“Hopefully we can celebrate a nice Test win and obviously a great career as well,” the captain said.
But Domingo warned New Zealand not to believe they were the only team to benefit from a green wicket.
“We’ve got some really quality fast bowlers at the moment and it’s not often Bangladesh can say that they’re actually looking forward to bowling on a wicket that has got a bit of grass on it,” Russell Domingo warned.
