5.38 pm: So Australia bowled out on the stroke of tea. A little earlier in fact, but they'll take tea now. They've got a very good total on board and have made New Zealand toil a fair bit. Australia will get to bowl under lights in the final session, exactly as they would have wanted it. New Zealand's bowling was very disciplined, even if they would have liked to hold on to a few more catches - though the fielding in general was very good. But they have at least ensured Australia haven't got an out of sight total. If they can survive relatively damage free in the final session, they will come out under bright sunshine tomorrow and can do to Australia what Australia did to them. Alex Malcolm will be back to take you through the final session.
Neil Wagner: Tough conditions and pretty proud of the boys the way they kept fighting. Full credit to the Australia. (On his workload) just don't think about it too much. (on the push ups after lunch) Yeah just to get the body going. you get a little bit stiff.
TD Paine c †Watling b Southee 39 (183m 105b 2x4 0x6) SR: 37.14
spread out field for Paine.
Mark: "Easy solution to the injury replacement issue. If you are replaced, you are automatically ruled out of next test, prevents any batter for bowler type manipulations etc. and then you could comfortably allow substitute for any injury"
Kenny: "The problem with subs for any injury is it's open to be exploited. Most fast bowlers are carrying niggles and minor injuries by the back end of a Test Match. Imagine the reactions the first time a team subs out a tired "injured" bowler with a fresh bowler on day 4/5."

Wagner's been bowling full to Lyon. Look out for the quick short ball.
CJ: "Can we congratulate NZ on the over rate? I know they have bowled a fair few overs of spin, however, in the scorching heat they are doing well." - can always congratulate New Zealand. They have plenty to be congratulated about!
