The BLACKCAPS have squeaked home by two wickets in their ICC Cricket World Cup round-robin match against Bangladesh at The Oval, London.
After Matt Henry starred with the ball claiming 4-47, the Kiwis were sitting comfortably at the halfway point having bowled out Bangladesh for 244.
Trent Boult took 2-44 and, in the process, became the second fastest in the world to 150 ODI wickets behind Pakistan legend Saqlain Mushtaq.
The BLACKCAPS chase looked on track when Kane Williamson (40) and Ross Taylor (82) were at the crease, however some late, lower order wickets made for an exciting finish.
Eventually Lockie Ferguson (4) and Mitchell Santner (17) saw the side home with 17 balls to spare

The @BLACKCAPS have clamped down on the Bangladesh run rate at #CWC19, including a tight start from Lockie Ferguson. 2 off his 1st over then wide-dot-wicket. Tamim Iqbal miscues a pull to mid-on, making it 62-2 after 14. The fielding's been outstanding to intensify the pressure.
