Ebadot puts Bangladesh on top in 1st test vs New Zealand

Ebadot Hossain bowled Bangladesh to the brink of a famous victory over World Test Champion New Zealand in a fiery spell Tuesday on the fourth day of the first cricket test.

On a pitch on which Bangladesh and New Zealand collectively amassed 786 runs in their first innings — with the tourists taking a 130-run lead — Ebadot reduced New Zealand to 147-5 at stumps, a lead of only 17 runs.

“Ross Taylor and Rachin Ravindra take the team to the close after an impressive session for @BCBtigers with the ball. The team will start Day 5 at Bay Oval with a lead of 17 runs,” New Zealand wrote on its twitter.
