Australia are all out with a lead of 94. Fantastic return for Matt Henry with 7 for 67. He's kept his team in this match. He leads New Zealand off and raises the ball to the crowd. Some useful runs from Australia's lower order. The standout innings belonging to Marnus Labuschagne. We aren't halfway through the fifth session of the match and it's the third innings. I'll be back in a few minutes.

Henry to Cummins, OUT, huge appeal for lbw! Gets a long way across the crease. Not given. And the review is swift this time. Was a full delivery, Cummins shuffled in front, gets the bat trapped behind his bat and it takes the back leg. Looks very straight. Players walking off...and it's three reds. Seven for Henry.
