STUMPS1st Test, Sylhet, November 28 - December 02, 2023, New Zealand tour of Bangladesh
BAN 310 & 338
NZ (49 ov, T:332) 317 & 113/7
Day 4 - New Zealand need 219 runs.

Stumps called because of bad light with Bangladesh just three wickets away from victory. Their spinners have been far superior in this Test compared to their New Zealand counterparts with Taijul Islam leading the way. The left-arm spinner picked up a four-fer in the first innings, and has four already in this one, with a good chance for more tomorrow. His accuracy, combined with enough help from the pitch, has made life very difficult for the batters. In that regard, Daryl Mitchell has stood out in how well he's played, looking very assured with what he wants to do, be it defending or attacking. But there's not been much support from the other end, and New Zealand find themselves a long way off from the target. We'll be back tomorrow for the final day. Given how things have gone, it shouldn't take long for Bangladesh to wrap it up. But we'll see. That's it for now. Cheers!

It's been a long wait but one that ends in a triumphant win for Bangladesh. They all but sealed it yesterday, sending seven New Zealand batters back cheaply. They had no answers to Taijul, who exhibited the virtues of holding a consistent length to use the turn that the pitch offered. Daryl Mitchell, the only specialist batter who survived, started positively today but couldn't keep going, thanks to Taijul, who had sweeping aerially to backward square. Southee had a good cameo and Sodhi fought valiantly but it was 150 runs too many at the end. A couple of scooby snacks for Taijul at the end to nail a six-for.
Tim Southee, NZ captain: Disappointed but credit to Bangladesh. They played well. Our bowling group needs to create pressure for longer, batters need to stitch more partnerships, be better for longer. It was a pretty good wicket. There was spin which was expected in this part of the world. We have a couple of days to work on a couple of things for Dhaka, which will be a different surface. Everyone's striving to improve their game and that's what we ask from our guys. Guys need to contribute all the way down, nice that Kyle and Ish did that.
