Canterbury went from 43/0 to 226/4 yesterday, they'll be looking to set Wellington a total early on today. Depending on their mindset they'll be keen to try bowl Wellington out or they'll bat them out of the game and settle for a draw.
Central Districts went from 67/0 to 179/2 as rained played a part on day 2 of their match against Otago. If they can get quick runs they can still make a game of this, expect them to declare today if they're not bowled out by Otago.

Greg Dawson top scored yesterday for Canterbury with 62 at the top of the order.
Ben Smith's not out on 75 so he'll be munching on a mean feed tonight hoping for a century tomorrow.

Young Henry Nicholls is not out on 44 for the Cantabs and could get his season off to a great start by helping them set a quick total today.
Jesse Ryder opening the bowling? Hmm, interesting. Interesting, but doesn't say a whole lot about the bowling stocks down south. Neil Wagner and Ryder were all good but Tipene Friday and Sam Wells struggled, being the most expensive bowlers for the Volts.
