Bangladesh extends its lead to 301 on Day 4 of the 1st cricket test against New Zealand

Najmul Hossain Shanto added just one run to his overnight score and was out for 105 as Bangladesh lost a succession of wickets Friday before reaching 308-7 at lunch, an overall lead of 301 in the first cricket test against New Zealand. The hosts started Day 4 on 212-3 but lost Shanto in the second over when Tim Southee had him caught down the leg side, ending a 98-run fourth-wicket stand. Mushfiqur Rahim continued and raised his 27th test half-century off 79 balls, with an outside-edge two against Southee.
