BD VS NZ 1ST TEST DAY 3
Sunday January 06, 2008
DUNEDIN (PA SPORT) - New Zealand battled back to dismiss Bangladesh for 254 and secure a nine-wicket win on the third day of the first Test in Dunedin.
After providing something of a fightback at the end of the second day, Bangladesh were second best throughout the third and had lost five wickets before lunch.
New Zealand then came out after the break to mop up the remaining wickets before comfortably breezing past the 35 target they had been set for the win as they finished on 39 for one.
In their first innings Bangladesh had been dismissed for just 137 and on Saturday it looked like they had made up for that by reaching stumps 148 without loss.
It had left them just 72 runs behind New Zealand and all to play for in the morning session but the hosts stunted Bangladesh's hopes of a fightback.
Junaid Siddique and Tamim Iqbal had started the day unbeaten on 69 and 72 respectively and the latter racked up a couple of fours early on to move closer to the century mark.
But soon after New Zealand took control and quickly dismissed Iqbal (84) and Siddique (74).
Iqbal was the first to go when he clipped Kyle Mills' delivery onto off stump and Siddique followed soon after when he got an outside edge towards Stephen Fleming at first slip for the catch, leaving Bangladesh on 167 for two.
Just 12 more runs were picked up before the next wicket fell as Habibul Bashar (11) was caught out by Matthew Sinclair off Jacob Oram.
Iain O'Brien ensured New Zealand were firmly in the driving seat at lunch when from his delivery Mohammad Ashraful's drive was well caught by Craig Cumming after picking up 23 runs before and he then dismissed Aftab Ahmed to leave Bangladesh reeling.
After lunch, there was no let-up as Daniel Vettori took two wickets in one over.
Mushfiqur Rahim was caught lbw for six before Mashrafe Mortaza slogged Vettori's delivery and Brendon McCullum made the catch.
Vettori then got the wicket of Shahriar Nafees, who was dismissed lbw with Bangladesh floundering on 252 for eight.
Shahadat Hossain fell without picking up a run soon after before Chris Martin wrapped up the innings when Sajidul Islam hit a top edge from his delivery for a simple catch for McCullum.
Set 35 to win, New Zealand completed their domination of the Test with just one wicket lost as Craig Cumming fell.
