Matt Henry to Tamim Iqbal. Other opener is Liton Das. Liton got a ball high on his bat catch taken by mid on Lockie Ferguson off Trent Boult for 1. An early breakthrough for New Zealand.

Mushfiqur was on 14 when he was put down by 1st slip Taylor off Ferguson. It should have been swallowed. Mohammad Mithun was on 5 when he was again put down by slip Taylor off Ferguson.
