Scorecard:

After Mills and Southee used the new ball to good effect, Daniel Vettori and Nathan McCullum are doing a good job with the old ball.

The Bangladeshi middle order is finding it difficult to cut loose. However, against the run of play Mahmudullah smashes a six over long on in Vettori's third over.

Oram replaces Vettori (3-0-21-0) in the 14th over and Nasir Hossain greets him with a six followed by a four as 12 runs come off the over.

The 50-run partnership for the fifth wicket is reached in the next over, bowled by McCullum. However, soon after Mahmudullah (15) hits the bowler straight to Williamson at long on.

Bangladesh staring at a heavy defeat at 87 for five after 15 overs.
