New Zealand will not just go out to survive Bangladesh attack but aim to score runs as well as making sure they bat long in the first Test at Mount Maunganui. 

Thanks to Ebadot Hossain's late burst on day four, the hosts have been reduced to 147 for 5 having a lead of only 17 runs in the second innings.

New Zealand batting coach Luke Ronchi insisted that his side would still be positive on the fifth day.

"It’s just trying to bat as long as we can hopefully," he said. "With that bounce, it can open up options later in the day. For us, we have to get out their tomorrow and start the innings off again.

"Play straight as their seam bowlers bowled straight to make us play a lot which on that surface with a little reverse and little invariable bounce puts good pressure on us. The spinners did the same and didn’t allow our guys to play the way they wanted to."

"Tomorrow we have to be in a positive frame of mind to make sure we are still scoring. If we just try to bat the day out, the day will disappear pretty quickly so we have to play a positive brand of cricket to make sure the game is still ticking along."

The current world champions New Zealand made one draw against one loss against WTC runners-up India. With points at stake, the Blackcaps are putting priority on winning the Test match against Bangladesh.     

"It’s about winning the game of cricket. That’s what every nation is trying to do. At the moment we are well behind the games. We need a lead that is sufficient enough to defend and try and take wickets as well. It’s about batting and build some runs for the positive side of the ledger. We can’t do much else than that really. We look further into the day if we are still batting and how things are going," Ronchi added.
