The branching fractions are measured to be$$ {\displaystyle \begin{array}{l}\mathcal{B}\left({B}^0\to {\overline{D}}^0\phi \right)=\left(7.7\pm 2.1\pm 0.7\pm 0.7\right)\times {10}^{-7},\\ {}\mathcal{B}\left({B}^0\to {\overline{D}}^{\ast 0}\phi \right)=\left(2.2\pm 0.5\pm 0.2\pm 0.2\right)\times {10}^{-6}.\end{array}} $$
