Otago has recovered from being 15 for two to finish at 181
for 4 on the first day of a Plunket Shield match against
Central Districts, being played at the University Oval in
Dunedin.
Aaron Redmond is unbeaten on 55 with Ryan ten Doeschate on
50.
Peter Trego, who collected one wicket for 19 runs in 10
overs, has been the pick of the bowlers for Central
Districts, and Andrew Lamb took the other wicket.
Roald Badenhorst has been expensive, with 44 runs coming off
his five overs.
Otago won the toss and chose to bat first.
Central Districts made an early breakthrough, with Jamie How
picking up a fantastic catch off the bowling of Andrew Lamb.
The captain dived forward and scooped the ball up with his
right hand, much to the dismay of Otago opener Hamish
Rutherford (2).
Play was scheduled to begin at 10.30am but rain and ground
conditions delayed the start until 3pm.
There are a minimum of 55 overs to be bowled.
The sessions will be from 3pm to 5pm and 5.20pm to 7pm.
