Vettori leaves B'desh reeling

New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori once again tormented Bangladesh with three wickets in one over to inject life into the rain-hit second Test here Tuesday.

With the first three days washed out, play finally began on the fourth morning and after declaring New Zealand's first innings at 262-6, Vettori's triple strike left Bangladesh in trouble at 13-3 in reply. Ryder said he was happy with his efforts.

"It was nice to score, a bit disappointing not to reach the century. I will learn from it," said Ryder, whose career was interrupted when he badly hurt his hand in a New Zealand bar in a late-night incident in February.

Vettori, who was New Zealand's hero in the first Test with two half-centuries and nine wickets, made 22.
