“If they win the series, they will get a big bonus, no doubt about that,” said the BCB president

“I think they gave us a blueprint on what's successful in these conditions, and hopefully we can apply that to this next Test match,” Sodhi said

“The feeling of winning against such a big team can’t be expressed in words,” Taijul told the media after the match

Taijul Islam completed a 10-wicket-haul as Bangladesh brought up their maiden home Test victory over New Zealand, defeating the Kiwis by 150 runs on the fifth day of the first Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today.

“The thought process behind picking him is his experience of playing in such conditions along with his all-round abilities,” Bashar said.

The incident took place before the second ball of the 34th over of the Bangladesh innings when Phillips was bowling to Najmul Hossain Shanto

“We got dismissed playing rash shots,” said a remorseful Joy at the end-of-day press conference yesterday.

Joy, who is batting on 53, completed his half-century off 93 balls as Bangladesh reached 116-2 after 31 overs.

Joy is now batting on 42 and he is accompanied in the middle by Mominul Haque, who is unbeaten on three.

The ball pitched on around the fifth stump line, then turned back sharply to crash into Zakir’s off stump, ending his innings on 12 off 42 balls.

The Tigers have gone with a spin-heavy attack with Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Nayeem Hasan and Taijul Islam

Santner, who took 15 wickets at 26 and averaged 52 with the bat this season in the Plunket Shield for Northern Districts, is back in squad for the first time in two years.

According to Shanto, there was no negativity in the dressing room after the huge 137-run defeat against England.

Despite having finished second in the last two ICC World Cups, New Zealand cricketers still long for the deserving attention from their home fans. In Bangladesh, though, fans prepare themselves to experience a downpour of emotions whenever the Tigers are in action.

Bangladesh vice-captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, who came to attend the pre-match press conference today, only disclosed that they have chalked out a plan for Santner.

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan made familiar promise following his side's another meek surrender in the tri-nation series in New Zealand on Sunday as the all-rounder said the Tigers will keep working to improve their batting.

Bangladesh only managed to put 137 for eight despite a late cameo from wicketkeeper-batter Nurul Hasan Sohan.

The Tigers have made three changes to their side with Nasum Ahmed, Sabbir Rahman and Mustafizur Rahman missing out. Shakib, Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Shoriful Islam returned to the side.

Trent Boult took the prized wicket of AB de Villiers then bowled Dwaine Pretorious in the penultimate over as New Zealand secured a series-levelling six-run victory in the second one-day international against South Africa on Wednesday.

New Zealand's nine-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the second Test at Hagley Oval on Monday appeared to be an easy victory on paper though captain Kane Williamson felt it was far from that.
