New Zealand, coming off the back of a 3-0 whitewash by England in the test series, managed 258 for seven in their 50 overs at Derby thanks mainly to a century from captain Stephen Fleming.

But Derbyshire reached their target with eight balls to spare for the loss of six wickets with Pakistani Adnan notching 113 not out off 113 balls.

Fleming made 102 striking 13 fours before he was trapped lbw while Scott Styris scored 56.

Nathan Astle continued his poor tour by making two off 19 deliveries and Daryl Tuffey was the only bowler to deliver a maiden.

Chris Harris and Ian Butler made their first starts on tour, while James Franklin, who has replaced the injured Kyle Mills in the one-day squad also played.
