Summary Sohag Gazi scored 101 runs and contributed 105 runs in the ninth wicket.
CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh (AP) - Bangladesh took a first-innings lead over New Zealand on day four of the first test Saturday, in a match that will likely require a bold declaration by the visitors if they are to avoid a draw.
Sohag Gazi scored 101 runs and contributed 105 runs in the ninth wicket partnership with Robiul Islam as Bangladesh was soon after lunch for 501. New Zealand s first innings total was 469.
Immediately after the lunch break Robiul was out on 33 without adding any scores to the lunch figure. Rubel Hossain was the last batsman to fall on 4 ending the Bangladesh innings.
Earlier, Gazi continued to batter New Zealand after Abdur Razzak fell on 7 to be the first wicket of the morning session.
His 101 runs came off 161 balls that included 10 fours and three sixes.
Doug Bracewell led the bowling attack by taking 3-96 while Corey Anderson finished with 2-34 and Trent Boult had 2-50
