After winning the toss, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto elected to bat against New Zealand on Wednesday in Dhaka in the second Test of the two-match 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.
