Whatever gives us the best chance that is what we will do,” Latham said. Wellington’s wicket is green and expected to assist seamers, but Latham is confident that Kiwi batsmen will do good even if they lose toss and are put into bat. “It does look a little bit greener and with a little bit more grass on it (than previously) so, regardless of what the surface plays like it’s about us trying to adapt to that surface as quick as possible,” Latham said. “If we are asked to bat it will be a challenge. We haven’t batted first a huge amount this summer so if we do I’m certainly looking forward to doing that and taking that challenge on.” Meanwhile, Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah indicated that they would go with four pacers at Wellington. “We are yet to decide but we are thinking of picking four pace bowlers, given the conditions,” he said. “If you remember, the 2017 wicket was greenish early on too. Batsmen will find it difficult on the first day. There’ll be seam movement and swing.” In the Wellington Test two years ago, Bangladesh surprised after being sent into bat with a first innings of 595 for eight declared, only to eventually lose by seven wickets. Kiwis are chasing their fifth Test series win in a row while Bangladesh have never won a Test match in the backyard of New Zealand.
