Bangladesh is playing so nice. Litton das and mominul the settled batsman out at the last time of third season . Both have missed century opportunity. I think the match will be draw if not happen miracle.
Surprising result so far in the NZ-BAN test. I didn't expect Bangladesh to perform so well on the Kiwi turf especially after their consistently bad performances in recent times. Wagner is the only bowler who is performing well currently.
Bangladesh is set to post a decent lead at this point though I am expecting this match to end in a draw unless we witness a batting collapse on either side.

Yeah.. same here. Never expected Bangladesh to be so competitive, and that too under hostile conditions. Right now, New Zealand do have the best pace attack for any test team in the world. But only Neil Wagner was able to trouble the Bangladeshi batsmen. Biggest disappointment was Kyle Jamieson, who has remained wicketless till now. And the most important thing is that the Bangladeshi batsmen are performing so well, without the presence of some of their star players such as Shakib al Hasan, Mahmudullah and Tamim Iqbal.

A good day of test cricket for Bangladesh, above all else they dismissed New Zealand for 328 runs then strong execution with batting. They manage to get 175/2 runs at the end of day 2 and trail by 153 additional runs. Fantastic batting by Bangladesh after quite a while. Solid effort by youngsters so unpleasant surprise. I'm convince that they will lead against New Zealand which will be exceptionally intriguing to watch.
There were only three contributions from NZ side Devon Conway, Will Young and Henry Nicholls. Apart from these three there is no noticeable performance from any NZ player. Good thing is Bangladesh are in game and they needed such opportunity badly. Bangladesh must take advantage of this momentum and try to win the game.
This is some gutsy response from the Bongs. First with the ball on the second day and then with the bat. They are setting good example for other teams when visiting NZ -- India i'm talking about you lol-
Bangladesh as a team has a tendency to show some glimpse of becoming good team but unfortunately nowadays its once in a blue moon kind of event. I really hope that they compete with the same intensity in next 3 remaining days and produce some cracking match for the spectators.
I can't say what will be the result, but Bangladesh is at the front seat of the match now. However, the betting odds is still in favour of New Zealand. I'm wondering why the betting sites are underestimating team Bangladesh like that.Bangladesh as a team has a tendency to show some glimpse of becoming good team but unfortunately nowadays its once in a blue moon kind of event.

Bangladesh will loss this match if their batting lineup collapse on the day 3. Otherwise I can't see any reason to underestimate them at this point. Probably New Zealand is favourite as they are playing in their home condition and the recent performance of Bangladesh isn't so good.
Despite their brave effort, i think Kiwis are fav cause Bongs will bat last and chase could be difficult. Happy if proven wrong.

What's going on with team New Zealand? New Zealand probably started the day with 257 runs. They lost all their wickets for only 328 runs. I expected a little better batting. Most surprised, Mominul Haque bowled only 4 overs and took 2 wickets. We used to know Mominul only as a batsman. Now he has become an all-rounder.
Bangladesh collected 175, losing only 2 wickets. Mahmudul Hasan Joy is unbeaten on 70 runs. Young players of Bangladesh. The batting of this 21-year-old player is good enough. He scored 70 runs off 211 balls. His batting is also awesome against destructive bowlers like Southee and Boult. After a long time, we see any opening batsman of Bangladesh playing well.

I don't know where are test matches heading? On one day we have one favorite team while on second day the other team is favorite. If anyone is betting on Tests then its really getting challenging. Same happened in Pak/Bangladesh, NZ/India test series and same is the case with this test match. Yesterday NZ was favorite but today everything is in Bangladesh favor.

Yes Quinton de Kock retired only from the longer format, the fact is that South Africa did not play much Test Cricket in the past 3 years and yet he thinks that the work load is too much and he is not yet 30 years and over all the Test team is not in a good position either as the pressure to perform is upon him as well since they do not have solid players in the longer format.
He took this decision primarily because of his family. His reasoning behind this decision makes complete sense and I would have done the same if I were in his position. It's tough to maintain a proper work-life balance while playing in all formats of Cricket these days which is why more and more players are retiring quickly from tests and ODIs and this trend will most likely won't change in the future.

Both Shadman Islam and Mahmudul Hasan Joy have given a good start for Bangladesh against hostile conditions. They are at 41/0. Bangladesh is still trailing by some 287 runs, and I don't expect them to take a lead in this match. But if the middle order also provides some support, then it is possible that Bangladesh may end up with a decent total. Then everything will depend upon the spinners in second innings. If they can repeat what they did in the first innings, then there is a real chance of an upset at Mount Maunganui.
Bangladesh bowlers have done well. But Bangladesh will win the Test match, even against the strong New Zealand, I did not even dream of it. Bangladesh can fight hard. The match will probably be competitive if Bangladesh batsmen can play well. However, I do not believe in the batsmen of Bangladesh. No wonder they lost all their wickets before 100 runs. We have seen a lot of poor batting from the Bangladesh team.
Bangladesh bowlers good bowling was destroyed by Devon Conway century. The good thing for Bangladesh is Devon Conway is no more on crease, so there is a chance New Zealand can be bowled out at 350. Seeing the recent performance of Bangladesh I don't think they can win the game but they must try to chase runs and remain in the match. This will give there players confidence for future games.
Bangladesh is in trouble now in my opinion as Newzealand has been able to score 317 runs and they still have wickets in hand. I am not sure whether Bangladesh batsmen will be able to chase this target. If NZ is bowled out for 350 then to it will be a struggle for Bangladesh batter to chase that target.

This was a surprise to me too. He only retired from tests though at the moment which implies that he will still be available in the other formats of the game.

Even with a century from Devon Conway New Zealand is not in a great position as they lost 5 wickets and Bangladesh bowled really well in these conditions which was a surprise for me. If the Bangladesh batsman can perform in these pitches then it will be an interesting series, if not another white wash from New Zealand.

It's typical New Zealand wicket which is favouring seamers, and they are doing good with very young batting line-up for Bangladesh I am feeling any target above 350+ is very difficult, and they can lose the match by an inning because they are no quality batting line-up which can face these Lethal Kiwis.Shakib and Tamim now both are not part of this team which is bringing more problems with new batsmen are also having no good technique like we already watch them against Pakistan at home after many years as staying test nation they are completely failed to produce any good test player which is now big threat for them in test community with staying at bottom with West Indies and Ireland.
Bangladesh is quite strong, but it lacks experienced play. Bangladesh isn't improving on test cricket, but in other formats it is performing good. During this match Bangladesh will experience the climate condition change. This can also make the players experience difficulty.
The names of the experienced players of Bangladesh are Shakib, Mushkif Tamim and Mahmudullah. But even though they are in the team, I have not seen much improvement in the performance of the team. Bangladesh is always weak in Test format. The young and experienced squads are almost the same. Their performance is not improving 
I would say Bangladesh will not be able to collect more than 250 in the first innings against bowling lineup like New Zealand.
Against quality swinging pace attacks against Tim Southee and Trent Boult, I guess it would be too hard for any team in New Zealand soil. If Bangladesh continues same form like how they struggled against Pakistan then New Zealand may win by an innings. I am just expecting one-sided match here as I am not expecting Bangladesh to show any fight out side their home.Bangladesh bowlers have done well.

New Zealand have lost 5 wickets scoring 285 runs by the end of day 1. With 5 wickets left it can manage to score 400 runs. However the last order will be of bowlers which restricts the score within 360 runs.
New Zealand's next day's performance will largely depend on the first session. If they do not lose wickets in the first session, New Zealand can easily collect more than 400. Let's see how the batsmen do tomorrow. I think Bangladeshi bowlers will be able to do well tomorrow.Bangladesh is quite strong, but it lacks experienced play.
