The 22-year-old was unbeaten on 130 as the hosts went to lunch on 176-3, still trailing the Black Caps by 293 runs at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury stadium.    </div>

Shakib Al Hasan was the other batsman at the crease on 15, having added 42 so far for the fourth wicket with his free-stroking partner.    </div>

The youngster, who came in to bat in his fourth Test with his side struggling at 8-2 on Thursday evening, launched a spectacular counter-attack to keep the Black Caps at bay.    </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mominul put on 126 for the third wicket with debutant Marshall Ayub, who defended dourly at the other end while making 25.    </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pair, resuming at 103-2, took the score to 134 when Ayub was caught behind to hand debutant left-arm seamer Corey Anderson his first Test wicket.    </div>

Bangladesh, who have lost eight and drawn one of their nine Tests against New Zealand, need a big first innings score to avoid defeat in the first game of the two-match series. (AFP) </div>
