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.
