Then Latham and Nicholls built on the advantage.Wellington were in control of the chase till the 12th over as they raced to 104 for 1, courtesy Hamish Marshalls sprightly half-century. But Todd Astle, the legspinner, struck to dismiss Marshall and break a 67-run second-wicket stand to revive Canterbury.Then their bowlers applied the breaks, escalating the asking rate to ensure late cameos from Grant Elliott and Luke Ronchi werent enough for Wellington, who succumbed to their third loss in the tournament to remain at the bottom of the points table.Wellington had lost Michael Papps in the fifth over, before Marshall and Stephen Murdoch, who made a 29-ball 38, brought the equation down to 96 off 52 balls, with nine wickets in hand.
