Bangladesh win toss, choose to bat against New Zealand

Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and elected to bat against New Zealand on Wednesday in Dhaka as they look to clinch the two-match test series.

The hosts won the opener last week and now have the chance to seal their first-ever test series win over the Black Caps at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.

Bangladesh were unchanged from their 150-run victory in Sylhet.

New Zealand, led by Tim Southee, made one change with left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner coming in for wrist-spinner Ish Sodhi.

Bangladesh: Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (capt), Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shahadat Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nurul Hasan (wk), Nayeem Hasan, Taijul Islam, Shoriful Islam

New Zealand: Tom Latham, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell (wk), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee (capt), Ajaz Patel
