New zealand won the test match

New zealand ended the test match against bangladesh in adramatic manner.bangladesh faint hopes of avoiding the innings loss were dealt a blow when Habibul Bashar was dismissed for 25 after being trapped lbw by Chris Martin with the fifth ball of the day.Shakib Al Hasan survived a dropped catch by Iain O'Brien as he patiently added 23 runs in 13 overs with Shahadat Hossain to take the score to 79. But Shahadat was eventually dismissed for five when an O'Brien delivery took a thin edge off his bat and was taken by wicket-keeper Brendon McCullum. The Bangladeshis hastened their own demise by attempting a non-existent third run on an O'Brien delivery two overs later, Mathew Sinclair relaying the ball to O'Brien to complete the run out of Sajidul Islam for three runs. The Bangladesh tail wagged with Shakib and Mashrafe Mortaza frustrating the New Zealand attack for nearly 10 overs, adding 30 runs to take the total to 113 before Mashrafe was dismissed for six, taken at point by a brilliant one-handed catch by Kyle Mills.
