DERBY, June 17: New Zealand's tour of England went from bad to worse when a century from Hasan Adnan helped Derbyshire to a four wicket win on Wednesday in a warm-up game for the one-day triangular tournament with England and the West Indies.

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.
