Live coverage has concluded
NZ 328, 108.1 overs (Conway 122, Nicholls 75, Young 52)
Bangladesh 175/2 - (Joy 70*, Mominul 8*, Shanto 64)
6:32pm - Wrap.
Safe to say Bangladesh won every session and have arguably win the last four sessions with three wickets yesterday eveining. The Blackcaps bowlers - Neil Wagner aside - lacked venom. Just kinda put the ball in the right spot and hoped for the best - they didn't bowl badly by any means - but just lacked the spice of Wagner and he should have had three if Latham had reviewed an LBW on Joy in the second session.
Bangladesh have the potential to bat all day tomorrow and take the game away from New Zealand, who need at least three wickets in the openin session to get back in the game.

Stick around as we bring you the day's play from Bay Oval!
*****
Kia ora, good morning and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of day two of the first test between the Blackcaps and Bangladesh from Mt Maunganui's Bay Oval.
Carrying on from day one, let's see what the Blackcaps have in store for us today. Asked to bat first by Bangladesh, New Zealand will resume at 258/5 - thanks to a near flawless 122 run innings from Devon Conway.
But in search of a big first innings score, hopes rest on overnight batter Henry Nicholls, who's not out with 32. He'll be joined by all-rounder Rachin Ravindra at the crease to start the day, as the youngster suits up for his first test appearance on home soil.
Ravindra is the last recognised batter though, meaning if Bangladesh can strike early, the chances of dismissing the Blackcaps for less than 400 will greatly increase.
Bangladesh meanwhile will be happy with their first day's work, but could also contemplate what could have been.
After opting to bowl first on a greenish pitch, the visitors would have wanted more to show for their day's effort than five wickets, but would have definitely settled for the scalps of Tom Latham, Will Young, Conway, Ross Taylor and Tom Blundell.
The good news for Bangladesh is that this pitch will get easier to bat on the longer this test goes on, as the tourists look to avoid defeat in a test in New Zealand for the first time.
TAB odds: NZ $1.04, Bangladesh $45, draw $10.20
