Bennett to Shakib, out Caught by Santner!! Bennett gets the breakthrough which his captain sought from him. He rushes Shakib with a sharp short delivery and the batsman is never in control of his pull shot. It looked like the pace of the delivery surprised him, and the ball was onto him much quicker. There's decent height on it too, and the ball lobs off a thick top-edge for a simple catch to Santner down at fine leg. New Zealand just keep fighting back whenever Bangladesh threaten to run away with the game. Shakib c Santner b Bennett 19(32) [4s-2]
