RW Anderson and BJ McKechnie added 114 in 113 minutes for the third wicket in the Southland first innings
Bay of Plenty were given 213 minutes to score 278 to win the match outright and surprisingly accepted the offer to leave the field for bad light at 3pm
More than an hour was lost before the match resumed and with any chance of an outright win gone the match was called off at 5.18pm
12th Men: N McArthur (Southland), MD Earl (Bay of Plenty)
