After the first three days were washed out in Mirpur, the Black Caps declared their first innings on 262 for six on Tuesday with the hosts doing likewise on 169 for nine in the second session on Wednesday - still trailing by 93.

New Zealand moved onto 79 for one in the final session to extend their overall advantage to 172 but, in what had effectively become a two-day Test, there was no time for the match to reach a positive conclusion.

The only wicket to fall in the tourists' second innings was that of Jamie How, who was caught at mid-off by Abdur Razzak off the bowling of Mashrafe Mortaza before tea. Aaron Redmond finished unbeaten on 30 alongside Jesse Ryder on 39.

Earlier, Bangladesh - after resuming on 13 for three - moved onto 169 for nine before declaring.

Shakib Al Hasan and Mashrafe Mortaza led the revival with a 78-run seventh-wicket stand before both fell after lunch just short of their half-centuries.

Shakib was dismissed for 49, trapped lbw by New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori, and Mashrafe was then caught at short leg by Daniel Flynn off Iain O'Brien for 48.

O'Brien then snaffled the wicket of Shahadat Hossain, caught at mid-off by Vettori for four, prompting the declaration from Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful.
