(Reuters) - Heavy rain washed out the entire third day's play of the second test between New Zealand and Bangladesh at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Sunday.

Rain had forced the players off early on Saturday and the hosts were to have resumed their first innings on 260 for seven, a deficit of 29 runs, with Henry Nicholls on 56 while Tim Southee was on four.
