New Zealand bounce back in second Test, head for a massive totalCaptain Tom Latham smashed an unbeaten 186 as New Zealand bounced back from their shock defeat in Mount Maunganui to amass 349-1 on the opening day of the second and final Test against Bangladesh on Sunday. "The way Tom hit some of his drives, the sound of the ball meeting the bat was awesome," New Zealand batting coach Luke Ronchi told reporters. Latham, whose free-flowing knock included 28 boundaries, was on 169 when Bangladesh blew a review trying to get him caught behind. "Unfortunately, we did not bowl enough good balls to create the sort of pressure that we created last week," Bangladesh fast bowling coach Ottis Gibson told reporters. "New Zealand would have been hurting from last week and they came back and showed why there are one of the best teams in the world."
