Last night Bay of Plenty was just a dozen runs from making history — again — at stumps on day two of the three-day Hawke Cup challenge on Blake Park at the Bay Oval.

If they bat on today 12 more runs will Bay of Plenty overtake the Hawke Cup record total of 701 that they set to take the cup off Hamilton in the 2012/13 summer.
