Another lovely sunny day in Sylhet. Mitchell has a smile and looks relaxed alongside Sodhi.
Pitch report by HD Ackerman: The difference has been when the bowling has been short, Bangladesh have been aggressive and scored at a better strike-rate than New Zealand. Going forward New Zealand should do the same. The pitch had cracks on day 1 and it hasn't broken up and has played consistently.
09:09 Local Time, 03:09 GMT, 08:39 IST: Daryl Mitchell celebrated animatedly last evening when Ish Sodhi was saved by a review after being given out Lbw. It was a rare moment of joy in what had been a dismal afternoon for New Zealand with the Bangladesh spinners ripping them apart in a chase of 332. Only Mitchell offered some resistance, managing to take the game to the fifth and final day. But it's hard to see this going on for too long today given how threatening Bangladesh have looked with the ball led by Taijul Islam. And there's only three wickets standing between them and a maiden win over New Zealand on home soil. Hello and welcome to our live coverage on another bright and sunny morning in Sylhet.
16:47 Local Time, 10:47 GMT, 16:17 IST: Stumps called because of bad light with Bangladesh just three wickets away from victory.

Some confusion in the middle as the umpire is still having a chat with the third umpire. Not sure what it's about. Meanwhile, the light is fading fast
