NZ v BAN 2021/22 New Zealand vs Bangladesh Match Preview: The visitors don't have Shakib and Tamim; the hosts are missing Williamson, but have been boosted by the return of Boult and Conway

[Duluth]

Bangladesh win the toss and will bowl

[Damo]

Looking at the pitch report I couldn't tell which was the pitch being used and which are on the block.

Normally the greenness of NZ pitches are an illusion.

[Chris B.]

Young to open and Conway to bat at 3.

That's very interesting - the way of the future?

[Damo]

Live I thought out.

Live I thought hit outside the line.

Lucky I was righter than you.

Actually I think it was a draw.

You'd be grumpy to be given out with 2 umpires calls though.

Yay runs.

6 off 9 overs.

Bangles bowl well so far

Did the black caps get on the piss last night? Very sluggish start

[canefan]

Young went at hard at that delivery. Lucky to survive

Maybe they don't want to win inside 3 days? 😉

Not too bad. First 10 overs was tough. 8-1 off 10 overs. Now 56-1 off 22 overs. Last 12 overs have been 4 an over.

Bangles over rate is pretty bad.

[booboo]

66 for 1 at lunch.

Would suggest we slightly ahead given they won the toss.

After watching the Ashes seeing Conway and Young dig in like that for the first ten overs against some quality bowling was enjoyable.

Technique will always trump so called glamour

[Chris]

Young having a lucky day 2 lives already.

[Damo]

There is something magnificent about Conway isn't there? He looks in so much control when he's batting.

[Crazy Horse]

Young lost concentration there. Very slow to turn around.

[Damo]

That's a shame. Young was a bit slow to react.

Be good to see Taylor score some runs now.

He does, but he seems to sometimes defend outside the off stump by hanging his bat there. The better bowlers will pepper that if he is not careful.
