Wi vs ban 1st test

Bangladesh team director Khaled Mahmud was appreciative of his team's batting performance in the first Test against New Zealand, saying the process by the batters was excellent. Bangladesh surprised one and all with the solid and gritty batting performance, ending day three at 401/6 and leading by 73 runs.

"Very good day for our Test cricket history. It's been challenging, but our process was excellent, the boys did a very good job. The execution was proper in the way we batted, we scored maybe 226 runs today while losing four wickets. The players have spent time between the wickets, and they have done a very good job," said Mahmud in the virtual press conference after the day's play.
