A maiden double-century from Shakib Al Hasan and 159 stately runs from Mushfiqur Rahim drove New Zealand into the ground on the second day in Wellington. Along the way, they recorded the highest partnership for Bangladesh in Test cricket - 359 - their second highest total away from home - 542 for 7 - and endless smiles on the faces of fans back home staying up through the night.
The theme of play on Friday made it seem like Basin Reserve was a farmer's market. It was bathed in sunshine but the Northerly was nowhere to be found, clearly it didn't like what was being sold. "Time for runs," said the sign posted over the pitch. "Fair enough," said Bangladesh's two most experienced players and batted 82.2 overs in each other's company. Shakib's 217, at a remarkable strike rate of 78, was the highest individual score by a Bangladesh batsman in Test cricket, while Mushfiqur only just missed out on batting through the entire day.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Bangladesh have declared an hour into day three !
Innings Break.

Wagner to Rahman, FOUR, Sabbir nails it through the covers. Even fuller
and outside off, crunches a drive on the up and in the gap and raises his bat.
He becomes the fifth Bangladesh player to make a fifty-plus score in this innings!

55 - 1
16.1
Kamrul to Jeet, and he strikes with his first ball. Back of a length and outside off,
leaps off the surface. Raval attempts a cut - not a full-blooded shot -
and top-edges it behind to Kayes, the part-time keeper.
A boost for Bangladesh 10 minutes before lunch.
Shakib would have relieved, having dropped Raval on 24
Raval c Imrul b Islam 27
