New Zealand batsmen Mathew Sinclair and Matthew Bell have both scored centuries in the tour match against the ACT President's Eleven at Manuka Oval in Canberra.
At tea on the final day of the three-day game, the Kiwis were two for 320 in reply to the ACT team's 6(dec)-439.
Sinclari was out for 145 when trying to force the pace just after lunch.
At tea Bell is on 107 and Nathan Astle is on 22.
Earlier today, Test spin bowler Daniel Vettori was ruled for up to six weeks with an ankle injury and is likely to miss at least two Tests against Australia.
A replacement hasn't yet been named.
