NZ vs BAN Day 4 Stumps: Ebadot Hossain 4-fer puts Kiwis on the edge- NZ 147/5 & 328, BAN 458 all out
Bangladesh had New Zealand on the ropes and were eyeing a historic victory after ripping through the hosts’ top-order batsmen on the penultimate day of the first Test on Tuesday.
Bangladesh have never before tasted success in New Zealand, losing all 33 matches played across three formats, including nine Tests.
But the odds of a maiden victory rose as they reduced New Zealand to 147 for five at stumps at Mount Maunganui, with Ebadot Hossain at one stage taking three wickets for no runs in eight balls.
Ebadot has four for 39 from 17 overs.
New Zealand have a small 17-run lead, but with their top three scorers from the first innings, Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls and Will Young all dismissed.
Captain Tom Latham and Tom Blundell have also been removed, leaving Ross Taylor unbeaten on 37 with Rachin Ravindra on six.
There did not appear to be any demons in the pitch, which is unlike a typical New Zealand Test surface, lacking an emerald green cover and it was showing little sign of wear after four days.
When Bangladesh were all out for 458, a 130-run lead on the fourth morning, Latham and Young confidently took New Zealand to lunch at 10 without loss.
But when play resumed, Latham (14) chopped Taskin Ahmed on to his stumps and Conway (13) edged Ebadot on to his pads and the ball ballooned to Shadman Islam, who took the catch.
Young and Taylor mounted a rescue mission but when their 73-run stand ended, with Young out for 69, Nicholls and Blundell quickly followed without bothering the scoreboard.

It began the day 175-2 with Mahmudul Hasan Joy 70 not out after a 104-run partnership on the second day with Najmul Hossain Shanto (64).Joy was out early for 78 and Mominul and Liton Das then combined in a partnership which occupied the next 52 overs and saw the tourists attain a first-innings lead 20 minutes after tea. Trent Boult dismissed both Mominul and Liton Das within four overs of each other in the final session to slightly diminish the tourists’ commanding possession. But the day belonged to Bangladesh and for the second day in a row they finished with the upper hand.

“The boys really got stuck in. We had a good day yesterday but we had to follow it up with another good day and the guys did exactly that. There will be two or three guys disappointed that they didn’t go on and get three figures. But all in all we had some good partnerships and it was a very good day,” Bangladesh batting coach Ashwell Prince said.
The partnership between Mominul and Liton Das was critical for Bangladesh who, despite their outstanding performance on the second day when they claimed New Zealand’s last five wickets for 70 runs and lost only two wickets in two sessions, still had to consolidate their position. But the captain and the wicketkeeper dug in and batted together for more than four hours to ensure Bangaladesh capitalized on the efforts of the bowlers and of Joy and Shanto.
From then the day belonged to Mominul and Liton Das who were finally separated when Bangladesh was 361-5, already 33 ahead. Mominul reached his 15th test half century from 147 balls and Das his 11th from 93 balls. His swifter scoring increased pressure on the New Zealand bowlers, who have bowled 156 overs. At stumps Yasir Ali was 11 not out and Mehidy Hasan 20. Wagner, New Zealand’s workhorse, had 3-98 from 38 overs and Boult had 3-61 from 30.
