Bangladesh's top order routed

At the break Aftab Ahmed was on two not out while Mushfiqur Rahim was unbeaten on eight.
New Zealand, who won the first Test in Dunedin by nine wickets, won the toss and elected to put Bangladesh into bat first.
After their first innings collapse in the first Test, where they were all out for just 137, the tourists made one change in a bid to strengthen their batting by bringing in all rounder Shakib Al Hasan for spinner Enamul Haque.
But 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.
