"Two steps forward, one step back." New Zealand Cricket boss David White last night made plain the national body's unhappiness at this week's back-to-back ODI defeats in Bangladesh.

There are better times to be given the captaincy of your country, but Kyle Mills is unlikely to complain.

The loss of openers Rutherford and Fulton in space of three deliveries was blow for the Black Caps at the end of the opening day of the second test.

Career-best figures for Neil Wagner and a clattering blow to Kane Williamson’s head provided high and low points for New Zealand on a rain-shortened second day.

Targets of 300 or more have been set in each of the three India-Australia ODIs to date - and they've twice been chased down, breaking records along the way.

New Zealand won't rule out a three-seamer attack for the second test against Bangladesh starting in Dhaka on Monday.
