Boult and Southee will almost certainly resume first up, but expect a burst from Kyle Jamieson and Neil Wagner sooner or later.

An eventful morning has seen Devon Conway bring up his third test century, Tom Latham's second double-century, and Ross Taylor come and go for probably his final test innings.
113th over - Shoriful bowls into his 25th over.
WICKET
Shoriful seems to find the outside edge of Mitchell's bat and it's given out, caught behind. Mitchell wants the review, but snicko shows a clear edge.
As Mitchell leaves, so do Latham and the Bangladeshis, as they take an early lunch.
You could almost give this session to the tourists, after New Zealand began the day at 349/1, but lost 4/74 through the morning.
112th over - Mehidy Hasan Miraz will delivery his first over of spin for the morning, his 26th of the match. Mitchell takes two off his second ball, NZ 422/4
111th over - Shoriful replaces Taskin for his 24th over. Latham cuts him to the boundary, NZ 420/4
110th over - WICKET
Ebadot begins his 30th over and immediately has Nicholls in trouble, finding an inside edge that carries to wicketkeeper Nurul. Initial decision is not out, but Mominul reviews late and wins the decision.

109th over - Taskin bowls his 28th over, just one wide from it, NZ 414/3
108th over - Ebadot into his 29th over. Latham slaps him legside for a single, NZ 413/3

Taskin beats Nicholls' outside edge with his final delivery, NZ 412/3
106th over - Ebadot for his 28th over. Taylor wafts at his third ball outside off-stump, but fortunately finds no connection.
WICKET
Taylor tries to swing through the legside, but is caught by Shoriful at square. He gets a nice ovation as he leaves the ground, probably his last innings for New Zealand.
Henry Nicholls comes to the crease, after allowing Taylor to exit, NZ 411/3
105th over - Taylor edges Taskin through vacant gully for a boundary. Taskin's sixth ball is a no ball, so he bowls again and Latham hooks airily for two, NZ 411/2
104th over - After drinks, Ebadot begins his 27th over and beats Taylor's outside edge with his second delivery. Taylor takes a single on the last ball to retain strike, NZ 401/2
103rd over - Taskin for his 25th over and Latham slashes edgily past gully for a single. No ball, so a catch wouldn't have counted, NZ 400/2

Latham prods at the fifth delivery, which fails to find the edge, NZ 395/2
101th over - Taskin into his 24th over and Latham plays through the offside to the boundary for his double century - the second of his career. Thirty-two boundaries so far, which makes for a pretty rapid scoring rate for tests, NZ 387/2

98th over - Taylor cuts the second ball of Shoriful's 22nd over for four, NZ 375/2
97th over - Ebadot starts his 25th over and Latham takes a couple off the first ball, probably still regretting his ill-advised run that cost Conway his wicket.
Taylor plays elegantly through the offside to get off the mark with a boundary, NZ 371/2
96th over - WICKET
Latham drops and runs, but the ball has gone directly to cover and the direct hit from Mehidy finds Conway short of his ground at the striker's end. Replays confirm he's gone, run out for 109.
That brings Ross Taylor to the crease for possibly/probably his final test innings for New Zealand. He gets a nice reception from the crowd at Hagley Oval and a guard of honour from the Bangladeshis.
Shoriful completes a maiden over, NZ 363/2
95th over - Ebadot starts his 24th over, Conway finds an inside edge and has no idea where that's gone, NZ 363/1

93rd over - Ebadot for his 23rd over and it's a maiden, NZ 357/1
92nd over - Shoriful Islam takes the ball for his 19th over and takes Tom Latham on the thigh pad, too high for a meaningful lbw shout.
A maiden, NZ 357/1
91st over - Ebadot Hossain to bowl the opening over of the day and Devon Conway wastes no time bringing up his century, glancing fine off his pads to the boundary - his second ton of the series and third century of his short test career.
Fifth ball hits the shoulder of Conway's bat and flies over the slips for another boundary - no luck for Ebadot. NZ 357/1
****
Kia ora, good morning and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the second Blackcaps v Bangladesh test at Christchurch's Hagley Oval.
New Zealand resume day two on 349/1, as captain Tom Latham returns to the crease, eyeing a second test double-century.
Latham finished the opening day on 186 not out, with Devon Conway just one run away from his second century of this series at the other end.
The pair added an unbeaten 201 runs and both hope to hit their milestones when play resumes.
After Bangladesh's historic upset at Mt Maunganui, the Blackcaps are already in a much more dominant position to take out the second test.
Despite the bowler-friendly conditions on offer, the visitors have struggled to take wickets, with only Shoriful Islam (1/50) successful, as he scalped opener Will Young (54).
If (or when) Latham or Conway falter, veteran Ross Taylor will come to the crease for possibly his last test innings for New Zealand.
New Zealand: Tom Latham, Will Young, Devon Conway, Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner, Trent Boult
Bangladesh: Shadman Islam, Mohammed Naim, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque, Nurul Hasan, Liton Das, Yasir Ali, Mehidy Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain, Shoriful Islam
TAB Odds: NZ $1.13, draw $5.75, Bangladesh $43
