B’desh did well despite Conway’s century to not let Kiwis take control of the series-opener.

After a brief interruption, Devon Conway continued his prolific run-making in Test cricket with an innings of 122 which guided New Zealand to 258-5 at stumps Saturday on the first day of the first cricket Test against Bangladesh.

South Africa-born Conway erupted onto the international scene in 2021 at the age of 29 with a double century in his first Test innings and since has been a standout in all three formats.

‘Nice to contribute’

“I think [the pleasing thing] was just the partnerships we had throughout the day. It was nice to spend some time with Ross Taylor in the middle,” Conway said. “It was nice to contribute, especially after not playing for such a long period of time.”

Tireless effort

The score at stumps didn’t fairly reflect the effort of the Bangladesh bowlers who worked tirelessly to support the decision of Mominul to bowl on winning the toss.
