*Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

[King Kane]

Jamieson doing a good job here.

The lead now under 50, still some hope we might be able to eek out a first innings lead.

 

[Nintendo]

Only seen monimal bowl 2 balls and there two of the worst balls i've ever seen live. How did NZ let him take wickets again?

 

[King Kane]

Haven't watched but feels like Mitchell's was a needless dismissal - could've just knocked it around and built the partnership while Phillips did the bulk of the scoring. Or no point in defending with Bangladesh always looking likely to break through?

Mitchell doesn't seem like the type of guy that wants to play second fiddle but with Phillips batting well he should have just been giving him the strike.

I assume he didn't bowl those balls when he got the wickets.

 

[Athlai]

LONG LEVERS

 

[Aidan11]

Too easy for Phillips.

 

[King Kane]

Phillips bringing up the 50 partnership in style with another six.

Smith might start copying Phillips with how well he is batting.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Too good by phillips. Got a method

 

[ataraxia]

Glenn Phillips series MVP is delicious

 

[Aidan11]

Bangladesh giving Shoriful a go.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Shoriful should have bowling earlier come on

 

[Aidan11]

..and he makes the breakthrough.

 

[King Kane]

The quick does the trick to get the breakthrough.

We need a captain's knock now from Southee,

 

[Athlai]

That only carried because Jamieson is two storeys tall

 

[ataraxia]

Shoriful doing a Southee here figures-wise

 

[Aidan11]

Bit of a clout but Southee off the mark with a 4.

 

[Moss]

For once Jamieson not falling by picking out the fielder in the deep, I suppose that's improvement. Good effort from him.

 

[King Kane]

Bit of a clout but Southee off the mark with a 4.

He's batting the only way he knows how, defence isn't his strong point but in this situation he is better off playing shots than defending.

We aren't trying to bat for a draw in the last session on Day 5.

 

[Prince EWS]

Only seen monimal bowl 2 balls and there two of the worst balls i've ever seen live. How did NZ let him take wickets again?

He couldn't bowl a hoop down a hill.

 

[Aidan11]

He's batting the only way he knows how, defence isn't his strong point but in this situation he is better off playing shots than defending.

Yep. Just hit a sixer there.
