New Zealand vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test, Day 1 Live Cricket Score Updates:Bangladesh's young guns will look to disprove talk of Hagley Oval being a graveyard for visiting teams in the second Test against New Zealand in Christchurch starting Sunday. The Black Caps see the picturesque central city ground as a safe haven and point to an impressive Test record of six wins, a loss and a draw at the oval. The emerald wicket suits their swing and seam attack and they expect to atone for their shock loss to the tourists in the first Test. New Zealand also have the additional incentive of providing a victorious farewell for senior batsman Ross Taylor in his final Test before retiring from international cricket. (LIVE SCORECARD)

NZ vs BAN, 2nd Test, Day 1 Live
The Kiwi openers on the other hand, were solid. There were a couple of nervous moments for Latham who was given out twice but the decisions were reversed but overall, the two have batted brilliantly. Latham especially who has managed to score quickly. Both are set now and will be eying big scores. Can they continue the dominance after the break? We will find out. Do join us at 6:10 am IST (12:40 am GMT).
To be honest, Bangladesh just weren’t at their best with the ball. They were way too wide outside off and did not make the most of the new ball. Whenever they hit the right areas, they did manage to cause problems but they weren’t consistent enough. Also, they were a tad unlucky too but overall, Haque will be disappointed with the effort of the bowlers.
End of an excellent session for the hosts and Latham will be thinking, it wasn’t that bad a toss to lose. Haque on the other hand, maybe regretting his decision to bowl first already. The visitors have a lot of thinking to do in the break.
