New Zealand had a much better day with both bat and ball in the ongoing first Test against Australia at Basin Reserve after losing the advantage on the second day. Glenn Phillips’ maiden five-wicket haul with the ball helped New Zealand bowl out Australia for a modest 164 in the second innings before Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell’s grind with the bat made Australia work hard for their wickets. New Zealand still need 258 runs to win, however, the performance on Day 3 has given them a chance.
