New Zealand vs Bangladesh, 1st Test, Day 2 Live Score: Bangladesh bowled out hosts New Zealand for 328 on the second day of the first Test at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. Mehdi Hasan grabbed three wickets as New Zealand struggled to cope with spin on a flat surface. The visitors picked up 5 quick wickets in the morning session on the second day as Kiwi Tail could only manage 25 runs between them, while Nicholls added 43 runs in his overnight 32.
At lunch, Bangladesh had scored five runs without loss after three overs of lunch.
In a promising start to the day for New Zealand, 22-year-old Rachin Ravindra faced only the third ball in his second Test, leaving him off the mark as Abadot Hossain did not complete the over. A day after Tom Blundell’s late dismissal.
But he did not go ahead as Taskin Ahmed and Shorful Aslam again brought down the batsmen with a relatively new ball, as they did early in the innings. He sent off 28 deliveries before Nicholls dismissed Shorful for three, put Ravindra on strike and he dismissed an away-swinger at third slip after three balls and was out for four.
