Hossain was Taylor’s third wicket in Test cricket. He previously got two wickets in an innings (2/4) against India in 2010 in Ahmedabad.Taylor said it felt great to end his Test vocation with a success. Talking at the post-match show, an enthusiastic Taylor said

“It was great to finish off my career with a win and a wicket. I wanted to finish off with a win and the guys did it. Bangladesh put us under a lot of pressure a number of times.”

“So, it’s only fair that we share the series. We were under pressure at the start of the match, but then we got the runs that put us in good stead. The boys returned well with the ball yesterday afternoon and did the job for us,” he added.

“The series was great. I was wondering if we needed to come back tomorrow, but the boys were fantastic to finish it off. It became a bit funky towards the end. Tom Latham said it was the most precious thing I did over the whole game. I have thoroughly enjoyed representing my country, have played a lot here in Christchurch, spent a lot of time, and it’s a great way to finish,” he concluded.
