It is also a top fifth-wicket mount by any group opposite New Zealand. The 542 sum is a third-highest initial innings during a normal bowl-first belligerent in a 59-Test history.

With a breeze and sleet that disrupted day one out of a picture, NZ had early success in a fourth over when Mominul Haque fell for 64 and honours were even with Bangladesh during 160-4.
