Sports Live: Emboldened by their emphatic victory in the first Test, Bangladesh now are eyeing more glory as they set a goal to sweep the two-match series by winning the second and final game, starting tomorrow (Sunday) at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. The match starts at 4 PM (Bangladesh Standard Time) and will be aired live on Gazi TV and T Sports.

After this victory, Bangladesh now lead the series 1-0, which meant only a draw would help them win their first ever series victory against a major Test nation apart from Zimbabwe on foreign soil. Bangladesh are brimming with confidence to win the second Test also after such a groundbreaking performance in the first game in which everyone had a handy contribution. But Ebadot Hossain made him obvious after a prolonged bad form in this format. His six for 46, which was a second best figure by a Bangladeshi pacer and best figure by a Bangladeshi pacer on foreign soil, was instrumental in the eight-wicket victory.

"As a team, we definitely want to try and turn things around and send him off in a nice, positive way," team-mate Devon Conway, who struck a century in the first innings, said. "It's been a real honors to play alongside him even though it's been sort of five Test matches for me personally but just to be in and around Ross in that change-room, it is an honors.
