Market quite excited he's come in: price not far from before the wicket fell.

NZ were 2.7 when the wicket fell

Suppose he can hobble about painfully between balls if he lasts any, that would help kill time

Imrul will be trading in 4's, 6's, or not moving. Great hook shot for 4 first ball.

timber... just got 1.50 on NZ

oh my

Didn't say the same! Draw went from 1.7 to 2.3 back to 1.9 I think.

looks like game over now

very interesting now

Sorry fats didn't understand you.

game over now, number 11 in, plenty of time for NZ to get runs etc.

It was Sabbir that was out. Kayes not going to last long I think.

Jesus! Was just thinking about breathing easily then two go in no time. Need Kayes and Mushy to bat for 10 overs for 10th wicket.

Mushfiqur still in Hospital I just heard...

Sabbir slashing at a ball he could have left, caught behind. Surely Rahim won't make it back from hospital in time so 1 more wicket ought to end innings.

Often happens.

Think I'm screwed along with the draw here. Even 5 more overs potentially brings it back to life. Need Mushy back!

Rahim in hospital till tomorrow just heard. Under observation

Bastard partisan Kiwi doctors.

Yeah they are not letting him back easily in light of the Phil Hughes incident.

Kayes hits a 4 but straight after is very uncomfortable.

RRR around 3.5 if wicket goes straight away, chasing 209 off 58. Don't think it's enough runs for long enough to test them unless early wickets fall in Kiwi chase. Make it 220 off 50 though...

This on tv anywhere?

Number of overs also very uncertain, of course.

you lose 2 overs for change of innings as well..... so make that 56 overs.

rr 3.7

timber... game over

Was counting that. So 217 off 57. That's too easy, I fear.

draw should be 15's. So much time for NZ to score 217.

160 on that deck, should be a steward's enquiry

We'll be at the halfway stage for the day 10 min into the NZ innings. When was the last time a team bowled 57 overs in half a day?

Still Bangla need early wickets to have some chance.

Against a decent attack on a track doing anything you'd think the draw perfectly possible with RRR over 3.5 in a test for over 50 overs but not this attack and this track. They won't even have to take many risks.

Did have two retirements hurt, to be fair.

Also NZ will go for it, but just been doing some thinking... a few wickets fall.... get watling in with someone else.... it could slow things down. 10 may be closer to the mark.

They may take at least a few overs to find enough subs too.

I am sure NZ will be more than happy to provide their own fielders :D

Great match, just not for me. NZ hold on for draw 9 down needing 30 more run with both sides guilty of time wasting the only fit way for it to end, I feel.

As much as i want it to end in a draw, it doesn't look like that.

It's possible but seriously unlikely.

new zealand make up there own rules

would they allow nural to keep

They'll have to use a substitute for the substitute keeper :)

only way this ends draw is if new zealand lose early wickets

feild is not even spread are bangla going for win

Goodnight folks.

Probably needs wickets all the way through. It's possible the openers could start slowly then get out trying to pick up the pace a few overs in, which would be ideal but I don't see it.

ffs 595 and then you lose the game having lost 50 overs to rain on day 1!

you on the wrong side mate

We have witnessed a record that was managed in the era of timeless tests.

Hope Ayt didn't follow Grant's advice.

bye.

some spin on offer

teflon keeping

The draw was under 4 a few minutes ago and 1.7 a few minutes before that! Test cricket, wow. I'm normally a huge believer in laying my draw green almost all off when the price gets really low but I didn't see this game having a result.

Now Bangladesh's decision to declare really comes to bite them where it hurts. Declaring at 595/8 was never going to improve their chances of winning the game. They should have hit out and gone for as many runs as they could. Ironically had they had another 30 runs it would have given them a huge chance of drawing or winning this game but its those 30 runs that are going to leave them short today. Sad that a team scoring 595/8 dec is probably going to lose the test.

Thirty runs and 6 overs chalked off would be huge for the draw here, not worth much for the win. Was an odd decision not to hit out, certainly.

like Jucel said the other day regarding draws. Most are rain affected. If no rain, pretty much no draw.

True but this was rain affected too!

yes it was rain affected but plenty of time made up too... and its Bangladesh :)

not sure I would be backing NZ @ 1.1 at 4 per over, with the 'chance' of lost overs

then again with bowling like that....

Nor would I Juce, never never back low odds in test cricket is my motto.

just laid 1.08 for a bit of interest

joined you at 1.08, just getting rid of a tiny bit of green :)

Bangla govt a few quid richer after this!

40 mins till tea and then 1 session.. could still be interesting if these 2 meander for a while.

out

there we go Jucel, in the money already :)

do you think they will go to 9 down, or shut up shop at some point?

Will Mushy's injury come into the equation re fair play??

1 bad ball every over

new zealand cruising to another test match win

short and wide and very very slow hit me ball

shut up shop at about 6 down, but Southee only knows one way..

hopefully new zealand get stripped off the trophy, bowling short balls to a man a with 1 working arm

are we really going to have 40+ overs in the last session?

2 down

out lol

bangla might win

now that would be a turn up!

That 1.08 lay now looking pretty good isn't it. Test cricket, always lay the short odds.

surely a bit of a slow down now as these two get themselves in

bangla the value at 28s

c'mon shake hands

keep ur mouth ......... juce

i hate Taylor, causes me muchos painos

keeper might as well stand back

williamson is annoying

terrible slip fielding now, not even ready ffs

good slipper ala Mark Waugh would have snaffled that

will there really be 38 overs in the last session... I guess there might be, especially if they keep bowling the spinners.

Why would Kayes have batted again then?

he couldn't have not come out with a bad leg, would have looked even more suspicious

ok the fix is in... too many rank 4 balls... :)

absolutely pathetic stuff

3 buffet before tea just to make sure NZ keep up with the rate

Any chance of some nice odds on NZ for the second test (ie 1.40) or that not going to happen?

If this doesn't convince people of the level of corruption in Asian cricket then they will continue to lose $$$$$.
I would say this is the worst and most obvious I've ever seen
Mushy and Kayes will rise like Lazarus in the next few days
