***Official*** New Zealand in Bangladesh

Yeah the let offs have been disappointing but we're still looking good out there. Hopefully we could even get a 2nd innings.

Gee Saleh looks aweful, 16 from 100-odd deliveries and hes not even close to convincing. My prediction for the rest of the day - Saleh will be dismissed early in the second session, Ashraful and Tamim will put on a reasonable stand before a few late wickets, ending up around 6/190.

Hmm, not pleased to hear that :( In the (very few, admittedly) times I've seen him bat I've liked the look of him. Rate him as one of the best bats in Bangladesh, so am glad he's been recalled - hopefully he can make the most of it. Have been a fan since '05 :ph34r:
I really wouldn't be bothered to see these two tonne up, as Iqbal is also fairly good and promising in my books.

Saleh's been dire, would rather his spot be occupied by Nafees.

Tamim and Saleh have been terrible. They each should have been out about 3 times but were saved by some horrible catching, and horrible umpiring. No idea why Asoka De Silva has been brought back onto the ICC panel..he was rubbish before, and he is obviously rubbish now.

Patel is bowling very well though, should have had a wicket, but Redmond has butter fingers. Actually...all the bowlers were mighty impressive, Mills and O'Brien were fantastic, and Patel and Vettori have been awesome.

7 wickets to fall in this next session.

Can see Tamim and Ashraful sticking around TBH, conditions are looking to settle.

Looking to settle? The conditions have been fantastic for batting since the word go. If anything the pitch is likely to get slower and uneven bounce will start kicking in.

I can't believe Bangladesh have been so negative...bye bye Iqbal. Deshi's really in a hole now.

The first 10 were tricky, after that Tamim scored about 18 runs off 60, pretty decent.

There was a bit of swing in the first 10. A decent batting lineup would have handled it without issue...perhaps losing a wicket, but atleast putting on some runs.

18 off 60 is pretty decent? Perhaps in the world of incredibly negative batting.

Sweet Jesus off 40 overs they've managed to put on 38 runs. That's utterly disgraceful. I hope those unlucky Arabs in attendance are soon gonna proceed to burning down each Bangladeshi's household individually. I can't get over how poor that run rate is. NZ's bowling is far from crash hot, even for Bangladesh. Ian O'Brien conceding 3 runs from his 10 overs so far is an absolute outrage.

Since when was a strike rate of 30 normal for test cricket? The only time i've seen batsmen strike at 30 is when trying to save a match (bat for a draw), and that is only when the pitch is a minefield. Do you think Bangladesh are batting for a draw on a minefield?

Mehrab Hossain has made 22 off 21 balls, but how long will he last? At least he and Mushfiqur are showing some positive intent.

Excuse me. I'm no troll. I tell it like it is, that is all. Like I said, i'm sorry if I've offended anyone, i'm sure I haven't, but anyway. Good to see the Banga's are now showing a bit of purpose in their batting.
