Bangladesh suffer collapse

The tourists capitulated to 137 all out in the first Test in Dunedin and they suffered an almost identical collapse in Wellington as the hosts tore through their batting lineup to dismiss them midway through the second session.

In reply, New Zealand were 28 for one at tea after Matthew Bell was dismissed while Peter Fulton was 15 not out and Craig Cumming was unbeaten on eight.

The hosts, who won the first Test by nine wickets, won the toss and elected to put Bangladesh into bat first. And they made the worst possible start when they quickly lost the wickets of Tamim Iqbal and Habibul Bashar.

Iqbal had worked his way to 15 runs when he was caught out by Matthew Sinclair at backward point before Bashur's (1) outside edge was pounced upon by Brendon McCullum with Bangladesh on 18 for two.

Junaid Siddique (13) was caught out by Matthew Bell at third slip from Chris Martin's delivery in the 14th over while Shahriar Nafees (6) poked an Ian O'Brien delivery straight into the hands of Peter Fulton at second slip.

Mohammad Ashraful put up the best resistance for Bangladesh at the crease as he reached 35 before his wicket was taken by O'Brien. The tourists' skipper was adjudged to have clipped the ball when it went through to McCullum and umpire Nigel Long was certain it had gone off the outside edge.

There was no let-up after lunch as Mushfiqur Rahim (8) was dismissed lbw before Shakib Al Hasan (5) got an outside edge on Martin's delivery to second slip where Fulton was waiting to make the catch.

Bangladesh were 111 for eight when Shahadat Hossain fell for one when he hit an outside edge to McCullum before Sajidul Islam was caught out by Stephen Fleming at first slip. Mashrafe Mortaza and Aftab Ahmed ensured Bangladesh limped to 143 before the former was dismissed to wrap up the innings.

New Zealand suffered an early setback in their chase when Bell was dismissed after being caught for one in the second over.
