New Zealand started the third day with 266 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. The Kiwis were 44 runs behind the hosts at the start of the day. Kyle Jamison was present at the crease along with captain Tim Southee. At that time, it seemed that the New Zealand team would hardly be able to take the lead in this match, but Jamison played an innings of 23 runs and Southee played an innings of 35 runs, helping the team to take the lead. However, except for Kane Williamson, no New Zealand batsman could cross the 50-run mark.
For Bangladesh, Taijul Islam took 4 wickets and Mominul Haque took three wickets.
The New Zealand batsmen faced a lot of trouble in dealing with the powerful delivery of the home team’s spinners. However, Williamson faced it bravely. He was joined by Glenn Phillips (42 runs) and Daryl Mitchell (41 runs). Bangladesh bowlers did wonders with the new ball in the last hour of the second innings. Openers Tom Latham and Devon Conway played Bangladesh’s lone fast bowler Shoriful Islam well, but off-spinner Mehdi Hasan and left-arm spinner Taijul Islam were difficult to deal with.

Taijul piled on the pressure by bowling tight, attempting a sweep when Latham was caught by Naeem Hasan at backward square leg. Conway (12) returned to the pavilion after two overs. Williamson put on 54 runs with Henry Nicholls (19) on a fading pitch. But Nicholls was dismissed after touching the bat of fast bowler Shoriful Islam (1 wicket for 44 runs). Mitchell hit Taijul for a six but was stumped by the left-arm spinner and the 66-run partnership ended. Naeem Hasan dismissed Tom Blundell to take New Zealand to 175 for five.
Bangladesh looked to get New Zealand’s tail batsmen out early, but Williamson found support from Phillips. Both continued to score runs against the spinners. Captain Nazmul Hussain Shanto then introduced occasional bowler Mominul Haque, who broke the 78-run partnership in his very first over. Williamson completed his century in 189 balls and then Taijul uprooted his stumps shortly after. Then Taijul also dismissed Ish Sodhi.
