CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh (AP):

BANGLADESH SPINNER Shakib al Hasan shattered New Zealands batting order with a career best 6-31 to reduce the tourists to 155-9 at stumps yesterday on the second day of the first Test.

Earlier, Bangladesh were dismissed for 245.

Hasan broke through New Zealands opening partnership of 27, having Jamie How (16) caught at silly-point by Rajin Saleh.

Newcomer Jesse Ryder (one) was also caught by Saleh off Hasan with New Zealand on 29. Hasan also trapped opener Aaron Redmond (19) to haul three wickets for just 11 runs by tea.

Redmond had built up the innings to 46 with Ross Taylor (12), who was trapped lbw by Abdur Razzak.

A 47-run fifth wicket stand between Brendon McCullum and Daniel Flynn steadied New Zealand to 99 after lunch. However, Nayeem Islam had Flynn (19) caught behind by Mushfiqur Rahim to earn his first Test wicket.

Hasan then got two wickets for one run in the same 37th over, dismissing McCullum on 25 and Jacob Oram for a duck, with New Zealand in trouble at 100-7.

Hasan struck again when Kyle Mills (four) was caught behind by Rahim, but TV replays suggested that the ball may have missed the bat.

New Zealand captain Daniel Vettoris 29-run stand with Jeetan Patel (0) ended when Hasan took a great catch at midwicket off Mohammad Ashraful with the last ball of the day.

Vettori was unbeaten on 48, with Iain OBrien yet to pad up at the close of play, with New Zealand trailing by 90 runs with a wicket in hand.
