Image Source: twitter[/caption] Internet Desk: New Zealand opening batsmen Tom Latham has scored a century on day three of the first Test against Bangladesh in Wellington. The 24-year-old brought up his sixth Test hundred from 171 deliveries at the Basin Reserve and at stumps on the third day, Latham was 119 not out. At the other end, Henry Nicholls was nearly caught twice before finishing the evening session unbeaten on 35 with New Zealand 292 for three, trailing by 303 runs. In the face of a mammoth run chase, Latham produced an innings of great patience and discapline that has so far absorbed 222 deliveries and produced 13 fours. When the opener raised his helmet to the crowd about an hour of play remained in the evening session in which Ross Taylor was caught at mid-wicket for 40. Taylor had played aggressively and was going at nearly a run a ball before he was undone by a loose pullshot off the bowling of Kamrul Islam. Before tea, the New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was caught behind for 53 off 55 deliveries giving Taskin Ahmed his first Test scalp. Williamson seemed the picture of confidence as he bought up his half century, but was perhaps too intent on scoring from the peach he was served by Taskin. Two overs before the end of the morning session the other opener, Jeet Raval, also nicked to the keeper for 27. Raval looked relaxed as he went about his work, but should have left the first ball sent down by slingy pace bowler Kamrul Rabbi. The short, wide loosener tempted Raval into a half-hearted fiddle that stand-in gloveman Imrul Kayes gladly snaffled behind the stumps. The tourists declared their first innings on 595 for eight an hour and a half before lunch. After the heroics of double centurion Shakib Al Hasan on day two, the tourists resumed their innings on the third morning at the Basin Reserve on 542 for seven. Sabbir Rahman (10) and Taskin Ahmed (0) took guard on Saturday and further frustrated the hosts for about an hour before Ahmed was caught at second slip off the bowling of Neil Wagner for three. Rahman went on to bring up his half century but he (54) and batting partner Kamrul Islam Rabbi (6) were called back to the pavillion by their captain an hour and a half before lunch was due to be taken. Wagner had the best figures of the New Zealand bowlers with four wickets for 151 runs off 44 overs. Shakib's double tonne on day two placed the tourists firmly in control of the match, with his knock of 217 the highest ever Test score by a Bangladesh cricketer. He and captain Mushfiqur Rahim also posted the highest ever partnership for Bangladesh - and the fourth-highest worldwide for the fifth wicket - with 359 runs between them. The partnership was broken when Mushfiqur was caught behind for 159 off the bowling of Trent Boult, about 40 minutes before the end of the day's play. It was the first wicket in seven hours for the Black Caps, who had had no answers for the pair. Shakib's superb knock ended six overs later, when he played Wagner onto his stumps. Wagner then claimed the wicket of Mehedi Hasan Miraz for a duck on the last ball of the day, when Mehedi knicked to Southee in the slips.
