Bay of Plenty v Nelson

Bay of Plenty won the toss on day one of the Hawke Cup Direct Challenge against Nelson, being played at the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui and elected to bat.
 
Openers Peter Drysdale and Tom MacRury got the home side away to a solid start, reaching the 84 run mark, before MacRury was run out for 54. Northern Knights Joe Carter batsman joined the Bay of Plenty skipper at the crease and the pair took the Bay through to 93/1 at lunch.
 
Drysdale and Carter took control of the Nelson bowling attack after lunch and added 82 runs before the tea adjournment. The pair continued after tea, until Carter was caught by Willem Ludick off the bowling of Joe O’Connor for 105. The Bay number three’s innings contained a dozen boundaries and two over the picket fence. Joe Carters century was the Bay of Plenty’s fifth ton in three Hawke Cup Direct Challenges in 2017.
 
Nelson struck back late on day one, removing Yorkshire professional Alex Lees for 21 and Ben Musgrave with bothering the scorer. At stumps on day one, Bay of Plenty were in a strong position at 284 for the loss of four wickets.
