Bangladesh vs New Zealand 1st Test Day 5: Bangladesh beat New Zealand by 150 runs

Bangladesh beat New Zealand by 150 runs in the opening Test in Sylhet to grab a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series on Saturday.

Chasing 332 for victory, New Zealand were all out for 181 on the morning session of the final day of the spinner-dominated contest.

Daryl Mitchell scored 58, but it was overall a slipshod batting display by New Zealand, who posted 317 in the first innings.

Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam was pick of the Bangladesh bowlers claiming 6-75.

The final Test begins in Mirpur on Wednesday.

Shoriful Islam to Tom Latham, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! What a start for Bangladesh! An absolute beauty from Shoriful Islam and he draws first blood here.

Latham goes for a duck and New Zealand loses one early!

First match in a new cycle and will be nice to start well. We would have wanted to bat first, challenge of bowling first and hopefully we can make the most of the early start . The preparation has been great, the boys have been really working hard. It's been a while since we played Test cricket, good to be back in whites after a while. We have three spinners and two pacers.

We would like to bat first. Looks a dry wicket and if we put runs on the board, it will be helpful to the spinners. It's a new cycle and it's a very important series for us. We miss those senior players and we have one debutant today - Shahadat Hossain Dipu. One seamer and three spinners is the combination.
