Kia ora, good morning and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the opening Blackcaps v Bangladesh at Mt Maunganui's Bay Oval.
After Devon Conway's century set the tone for New Zealand on the opening day, the tourists fought back valiantly on Sunday, wrapping up the home team's lower order cheaply and laying a strong foundation to challenge a 328-run target.
Bangladesh will resume this morning at 175/2, with opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy unbeaten on 70 and captain Monimul Hague on eight.
Joy's 104-run partnership with Najmul Hossain Shanto has put them in prime position to kick on and perhaps establish a first-innings lead over the reigning world test champions on their home turf.
The pair frustrated New Zealand's much-vaunted four-prong pace attack of Trent Boult, Tim Southree, Neil Wagner and Kyle Jamieson, with only Wagner enjoying any success.
When play begins at 11am, the Blackcaps will want to capture early wickets to re-establish their authority on proceedings, as they chase a valuable victory in their defence of the world crown.
NZ 328 (Conway 122, Nicholls 75, Young 52, Shoriful 3/69, Mehidy 3/86) Bangladesh 175/2 (Joy 70no, Shanto 64, Wagner 2/27)
New Zealand: Tom Latham (c), Will Young, Devon Conway, Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, Tom Blundell (wicketkeeper), Rachin Ravindra, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner, Trent Boult
Bangladesh: Shadman Islam, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque (c), Mushfiqur Rahim, Liton Das (wicketkeeper), Yasir Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain, Shoriful Islam
TAB odds: NZ $1.46, draw $3.15, Bangladesh $9.20
