Bangladesh surged ahead on a classy century from Mominul Haque on the
third day of the first Test against New Zealand in Chittagong as the
hosts looked to close in on the first innings total of the Kiwis.
Bangladesh ended the day on 380 for the loss of seven wickets, trailing the Black Caps by 89 runs with Sohag Gazi and Abdur Razzak unbeaten on 28 and 1 respectively at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on Friday.
State-run television BTV and private satellite channel Gazi TV broadcast the match live.
Earlier, Mominul scored 181 off 274 balls, smashing 27 fours on his way to amass the third highest individual innings in the history of Bangladesh.
His valiant effort came to an end as he was out lbw to the medium pace of Corey Anderson.
He was well-supported by skipper Mushfiqur Rahim, who scored 67 himself before being dismissed by Doug Bracewell.
After their departure, Nasir Hossain hit a quickfire 46 off 65 balls, before a rash shot in the closing overs of the match ended his innings, handing debutante Kiwi bowler Ish Sodhi his first Test wicket.
Earlier in the day, Shakib Al Hasan and Marshall Ayub put up 19 and 25 on the board, before being dismissed by Corey Anderson and Kane Williamson respectively in the morning.
Bangladesh started the day on 103 for 2, after New Zealand finished with 469 on the board on day 2.
Kane Williamson was the top scorer for New Zealand with a fluent 114, while BJ Watling contributed 103 to the team total.
Abdur Razzak was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh, claiming
three wickets, while Sohag Gazi and Shakib Al Hasan each claimed two
scalps.
The Black Caps are looking to erase the daunting memories of the ODI whitewash in 2010 with a series win here.
The Tigers, on the other hand, look to finally win a Test against New Zealand — who they have lost to eight times and drawn with once — which they came so close to doing at the very same stadium in 2008 before eventually giving in to Daniel Vettori’s late half-century.
For Bangladesh, Marshall Ayub was handed a Test debut at number three while Mominul Haque is playing at four.
Ish Sodhi, the 20-year-old leg spinner and left-arm seamer Corey Anderson debuted for New Zealand as well.
