Kiwis take control in Wellington

Chris Martin Second Test, Wellington (day one, stumps): Bangladesh 143 v New Zealand 134-3 Match scorecard

Fast bowler Chris Martin claimed 5-65 as New Zealand dismissed Bangladesh for 143 and then reached 134-3 after day one of the second Test in Wellington.

The Tigers were reduced to 86-5 at lunch, and Martin picked up three more wickets in the afternoon session to seal his eighth five-wicket Test haul.

New Zealand lost Matthew Bell in the second over but Craig Cumming shared 83 in 26 overs with Stephen Fleming.

Former captain Fleming was unbeaten on 39 after six fours in a 91-ball knock.

Kiwi skipper Daniel Vettori chose to unleash his bowlers after winning the toss, as he did in the first Test at Dunedin when New Zealand hurried the tourists out for 137 and went on to win by nine wickets.

Charged by Martin's performance, New Zealand took only 45.3 overs to wreck Bangladesh's first innings and take charge of a match being played on a evenly-paced, even docile batting wicket.

Of the Bangladesh batsmen, only Aftab Ahmed, who batted for 108 minutes and was unbeaten on 25, dedicated himself to occupation of the crease.

Others could not restrain themselves from playing shots and Bangladesh's innings included 18 fours and two sixes - or 84 runs from boundaries.
