Wicketkeeper Peter McGlashan led from the front as Northern Districts fought back to claim first innings points in their Plunket Shield four-day cricket match against Wellington at Hamilton on Wednesday.
At stumps, Wellington's second innings was in trouble. They had
lost three wickets for nine runs with Northern paceman Brent Arnel
dismissing both Bell and Cameron Merchant for ducks and Josh Brodie
for four.

Chasing 263, Northern looked to have squandered Tim Southee's efforts in claiming eight Wellington wickets on the opening day on Tuesday.
Resuming on their overnight innings of six runs, Northern's top five batsmen fell cheaply for 51 runs.
But a cavalier 81 from McGlashan in a sixth wicket stand of 115 with Joseph Yovich laid the foundation for a total of 281.
Romped
McGlashan smashed 11 boundaries as he romped to 50 off just 53 balls and added another 31 to his tally before edging medium pacer Harry Boam into the hands of Matthew Bell.
Needing another 148 runs to overtake Wellington, Yovich masterminded the rearguard action with good suport from Anton Devcich, 12 and Bradley Scott 25.
There was another 49 needed when Southee strode to the crease and he quickly settled in with Yovich to gather the runs, contributing 22 in a 65-run partnership for the ninth wicket.
Yovich was last man out with 80, giving Bell his fifth catch of the innings off Charlie Shreck.
Wellington's English import, Charlie Shreck, wrapped up the Northern tail, taking four wickets.
