Despite Tamim's heroic 126, New Zealand claimed the first-day honours when they reached stumps at 86 without loss in reply to Bangladesh's 234. Wagner in that period took one for 13 off six overs, while Southee had none for 40 off six. One session later and Bangladesh went to tea at 187 for seven with Wagner's figures improving to three for 29 while Southee was still being caned at one for 71. Colin de Grandhomme only took one wicket but it was the key dismissal of Tamim who clipped a wide delivery to Kane Williamson at gully. It made up for de Grandhomme's earlier error when he dropped a regulation caught and bowled opportunity from Tamim on 65.
