Scorecard

After Stephen Fleming had got into the groove with a century yesterday, the New Zealand spinners helped themselves to a good workout on the second day of the tour game against the Bangladesh Cricket Board XI. Daniel Vettori and Paul Wiseman bagged two wickets each as BCB XI were restricted to 200 for 7 when stumps were drawn. The New Zealanders had declared at 344 for 6 earlier in the day.

Resuming at 285 for 6 overnight, Brendon McCullum and Vettori carried on without too many problems. McCullum brought up his half-century after an hour's play, and Fleming decided to declare soon after.

Hannan Sarkar began the BCB XI response in a positive manner, but he was caught behind off Wiseman for 44 and the New Zealand spinners kept chipping away at the middle order. Vettori, Wiseman and Ian Butler claimed one wicket each in the final session as the BCB XI slid to 200 for 7 at the close.
