NZ vs AUS, 2nd Test: Late bowling fireworks from New Zealand rocks Australia’s run chase

The Hindu  

Australia was 202 runs from victory with six wickets in hand at the end of day three of the second Test in Christchurch on Sunday after New Zealand grabbed the momentum with some late bowling fireworks. The highest successful fourth-innings run chase in a Test at Hagley Oval was the 285 New Zealand scored to beat Sri Lanka with a run on the final ball of a dramatic match last year. Cummins was the first to strike in the morning, even if he needed a review to dislodge Latham caught behind for 73 with only 21 runs added to New Zealand’s overnight tally of 134-2. The last three wickets fell for the addition of only one run, and New Zealand, chasing a first home win over the neighbours in 31 years, will perhaps rue not having set Australia a target in excess of 300 runs.
