Williamson 103(89)
39.3
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, FOUR, he gets there. Goes down on one knee and hits the sweep to the long leg boundary. 15th Test century for Williamson. He looked a million bucks in the first innings as well but failed to kick on after the half-century. Doesn't miss out this time
39.2
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, no run, drifted on middle from round the wicket, Williamson defends forward
39.1
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, no run
38.6
Subashis Roy to Henry Nicholls, no run, good length delivery outside off, defended into the covers. Huge cheers from the crowd who desperately want to see their skipper get the hundred, even though he might not make a great deal of it himself
38.1
Subashis Roy to Williamson, no run
37.6
Taskin Ahmed to Henry Nicholls, no run, left alone outside off

36.1
Subashis Roy to Williamson, no run, full on middle and leg, clips it to mid-wicket
35.6
Taskin Ahmed to Ross Taylor, no run, man down, man down! He's been hit right where it hurts the most. Another false pull shot. Misreading the length completely. Very difficult to connect it from that length
34.6
Subashis Roy to Ross Taylor, FOUR, 17 needed now. New Zealand are galloping home. Not much that Roy has done wrong here. Such fast hands from Taylor though. There's just a hint of width on this back of a length delivery and Taylor back-cuts it through backward point
34.4
Subashis Roy to Ross Taylor, 1 run, back of a length delivery outside off, chopped away to deep point
34.2
Subashis Roy to Ross Taylor, 1 run
33.5
Taskin Ahmed to Ross Taylor, 1 run, tucked away in front of squate with a rise to get on top of the bounce
33.3
Taskin Ahmed to Williamson, FOUR, gets into the 90s with that slash. Ignores the respect to be given to the wide slip and the gully as he stretches full length in reaching out to the delivery well outside off and the thick top edge gets it to fly over them
33.2
Taskin Ahmed to Williamson, no run, 138.2kph, plonking onto the front foot and jabbing it to cover
33.1
Taskin Ahmed to Ross Taylor, leg byes, 1 run, keeps going on the defensive lines. Approaches the hips and a missed glance yields runs in the form of leg byes
32.5
Kamrul Islam to Williamson, no run, pushed away into the off-side
32.4
Kamrul Islam to Ross Taylor, 1 run, looks like they have gone upstairs. A desperate review. Catches Taylor in his crease looking to flick it away. The change of pace does him in as the ball goes past the closed blade face and strikes him in front of leg. Doing too much? Here's the review - the impact too was a dodgy umpire's call. Would have required two extra stumps for it to be given. NOT OUT it stays
32.2
Kamrul Islam to Williamson, FOUR, a little too straight. A little too full. Something that Williamson would put away even in his sleep. Fetches it off his pads and clips it very fine. Only three dozen needed now
32.1
Kamrul Islam to Ross Taylor, 1 run, half-steered, half-cut. Done effective to get the ball to third man
31.4
Taskin Ahmed to Williamson, no run, a crunchy punch, cannot get it past extra cover
31.3
Taskin Ahmed to Williamson, no run, uses his entire frame to good effect in getting behind the line of the delivery and drops it at his feet
31.2
Taskin Ahmed to Ross Taylor, 1 run, fifty #26. The new pair of Taylor's eyes get their validation. Gets there with a pull through mid-wicket
30.6
Kamrul Islam to Ross Taylor, no run, swinging in, just cannot get under this one with his drive. Squirted out to mid-off
30.3
Kamrul Islam to Ross Taylor, 1 run, gets bored with the punch and decides to get on with the cut now. Off the cue end and there is protection at the sweeper fence
29.4
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, no run, looks to dab it away, too wide
29.3
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, no run, nudged into the on-side
29.2
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, FOUR, and now through the other side. Mehedi Hasan decides to draw him forward with the flight and the width. Williamson doesn't mind it. A wristy flat batted drive ala Kohli with a perfect transfer of weight forward and whistling it away
29.1
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, FOUR, right to the pitch with his gallop and times the pants off it with his whip over mid-wicket. When you can find gaps with such ease why would you bother keeping it down
28.6
Kamrul Islam to Williamson, 1 run
28.5
Kamrul Islam to Williamson, no run, channels his Sehwag trying to ape his upper cut. The loopy bumper takes ages to get up and Williamson after swaying away decides he has time to experiment. A failed one
28.4
Kamrul Islam to Williamson, no run, uses the jab back in to nudge it to short mid-wicket. All that before showing his bat up in sending Taylor back
28.3
Kamrul Islam to Williamson, no run, bangs it in half way down the track. A rare leave from the skipper. Only his second in this innings
28.2

28.1
Kamrul Islam to Ross Taylor, 1 run, fenced away to third man
26.5

26.4

26.2
Kamrul Islam to Ross Taylor, 1 run, another gentle wrist through mid-wicket. With the feet remaining firmly on the ground this time
25.6
Shakib to Ross Taylor, no run, a gentle appeal. For the pad contact on missing the heave. Would have required another set of stumps for the call to go in his favour
25.2
Shakib to Ross Taylor, 1 run, charges down the track, gets too close for comfort in the process and jams it out to mid-wicket
24.1
Subashis Roy to Williamson, FOUR, persists with the short stuff. Minus the pace, minus the height. Very obviously this one was headed to the fence too. Off a pull into the cow corner fence
23.6
Shakib to Ross Taylor, no run, a dart down leg. Taylor attempts the sweep looking to emulate his skipper. Misses
23.4
Shakib to Williamson, no run, punched away off the back foot, finds extra cover
23.3
Shakib to Williamson, FOUR, the stretching sweep. With a massive lunge approaching the ball, Williamson places it very fine with his broom. He seems to be in some strange sort of hurry
23.2
Shakib to Williamson, no run
23.1
Shakib to Ross Taylor, 1 run, knocked wide of mid-on
22.5
Subashis Roy to Williamson, no run, a strange waft. One like his first innings dismissal. The feet refuse to move but the bat chases one outside off. Has a beat against his name now too
22.4
Subashis Roy to Ross Taylor, 1 run
22.2
Subashis Roy to Williamson, FOUR, and he overcompensates now providing the width outside off. Enough for Williamson to steer it very late and place it in another one of those gaps behind square on the off-side
22.1
Subashis Roy to Williamson, FOUR, starts off with a sitter. On the hips with the angle taking it way down leg and he pulls it away into the fence. The runs coming in a procession this session
21.6
Shakib to Ross Taylor, FOUR, easy pickings. A nothing delivery off a long hop. Down leg too. All the time in the world for Taylor to open himself up, inherit the line in his zone, plan his spot of attack, swivel and swish it behind square
21.2
Shakib to Williamson, no run
21.1
Shakib to Williamson, no run, smothered off the front foot
20.6
Mehedi Hasan to Ross Taylor, no run, leaning onto a knee and a classical front footed block

19.6

19.2
Shakib to Ross Taylor, 1 run, gets behind the line and knocks it down to mid-on
18.5
Taskin Ahmed to Williamson, FOUR, four more. Not the length to bowl to Williamson. Just isn't. Short of length into the body and he's so quick to transfer his weight to pull it to the long leg boundary
18.4
Taskin Ahmed to Williamson, FOUR, classic Williamson. Latches onto a back of a length delivery outside off and punches it through extra-cover. His feet were off the ground when he played the shot

18.2

Shakib to Williamson, no run, defended back
17.1
Shakib to Williamson, no run
16.6
Taskin Ahmed to Ross Taylor, leg byes, FOUR, that's bounced off the helmet and over the keeper. Sharp bouncer from Taskin and a very unconvincing attempt at a pull from Taylor. He's still on the front foot while playing the shot - which worked well previously in the over because the deliveries weren't high enough. This one is, and it rattles him
16.2
Taskin Ahmed to Williamson, no run, skidding in from a back of a length, blocked off the back foot
16.1

14.4
Shakib to Williamson, no run
14.3

Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, no run, blocked towards the on-side
13.1
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, no run
12.6
Shakib to Ross Taylor, byes, FOUR, that's not a great delivery. Darted in down leg, it beats Taylor's pull but beats the part-time keeper too
12.3
Shakib to Ross Taylor, 1 run, sliding in on middle and leg, Taylor works it past short leg
11.5
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, no run, defended
11.4
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, FOUR, Williamson has just started off where he left in the first innings. A sumptuous back-foot punch through the covers. So, so good
11.3

9.5
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, no run, nudges it defensively to leg slip
9.4
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, FOUR, classy from Williamson. It's a flat delivery just outside off. What makes the shot possible is the footwork. So smoothly he shuffles back and towards the leg-side and then crunches a back-foot drive through point. Delightful
9.3
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, no run
9.2
Mehedi Hasan to Williamson, no run, turns it to short leg
