Innings break Australia will bat again. The openers tore off and will face one over before lunch. Mitchell Starc: "Most consistent I've bowled I think. (Re - de Grandhomme's dismissal) We were confident early. From the side on it looked like it went up off the thumb."

Australia will bat as long as they can now to give their undermanned attack a chance to rest before a fourth innings assault. The heavy roller is on the pitch.

Daniel : "Would not surprise me if Aus go for a session and a half try and get another 150-200 runs and have the kiwis back in under lights tonight!" That would be interesting to see. There is eight sessions left in the game.

Lyon to Southee, OUT, sliced to backward point and an easy catch for Neser! Lyon tossed it up, Southee's eyes lit up, he skipped down and tried to launch, he didn't quite get there, sliced across it as it didn't turn as much, it sliced high to backward point and Neser cruised around to take the catch easily

Labuschagne to Santner, OUT, bowled him through the gate with a classic leg break! Beautifully bowled. Tossed up into the footmarks outside Santner's off stump, he drives against the turn, it spins sharply through the gate and crashes into off stump! Shades of the King in that one
