Captain Brendan McCullum had talked about making the change, at the expense of a spinner. Given Martin’s poor showing in the first Test, he was the likely casualty. It was also the 50th Test for Ross Taylor.

The weather in the Mirpur area and the rest of Dhaka looked clear with some specks of cloud. The wicket was a newly laid one, but was expected to be batsman-friendly, like all pitches at the Shere Bangla National Stadium.
