Tom Latham was closing in on the Hagley Oval’s bad reputation for New Zealand’s batsmen to score a double century on the first day of the second Test against Bangladesh here on Sunday as New Zealand reached 349 for one at stumps. .
New Zealand were unbeaten on 186 for 99 with skipper Devon Conway as the Black Caps scored on the first day at a ground revered as bowlers’ paradise.
New Zealand, desperate for a win to save the series after losing the first Test, defied the green surface and were in control ever since it was placed. Latham and Conway put on an unbroken 201 for the second wicket behind Latham and Will Young, who scored 54, creating an opening stand of 148.
Latham’s unbeaten 186 included 28 fours, while Conway’s 99 included 10 fours and a six.
He had trouble in the opening over of Ibadat Hossain, when he was dismissed lbw only twice, which was dismissed on review. Bangladesh made a loud appeal late in the night to catch Latham behind, but replays showed the ball missed the bat.
seven on a ball
After trying in vain during the morning session, Bangladesh missed the opportunity of a wicket in the first over after lunch, which went down by seven runs.
At third slip, Liton Das cut a young lead from Abadot for three runs. As the bowlers and fielders expressed their dismay, the return throw went to the bowler’s end where no one was backing up and the ball went across the boundary.
To Abadot’s displeasure, Young scored a five off his next over when he took a sharp single and a throw from Mehidy Hasan from mid-wicket back to the fence at the stumps.
Score: New Zealand 349/1 (Tom Latham 186 batting, Will Young 54, Devon Conway 99 batting) vs Bangladesh in 90 overs.
