  • Player of the Match
    Adam Voges
So, that wraps up our formalities of this game. Hope you enjoyed our coverage and we look forward to your company in 5 days time for the second and final Test between these two sides in Christchurch. Until then, it's good bye from us.
MAN OF THE MATCH - ADAM VOGES for his marathon knock of 239. His calm and composed knock spread over 8 hours helped Australia take a gigantic first innings lead after Smith and Khawaja had laid the foundation.
While compiling his third ton in a row that included 2 double tons, Voges created several records on the way. He got good support from Nevill and Siddle as the tourists racked up a huge lead of 379. Faced with a big deficit, New Zealand's batsmen just couldn't come to the party with their ace batsman Williamson suffering a rare twin failure in the game. Skipper McCullum too had a poor game in his 100th Test as the hosts were totally outplayed.
Australia's batsmen then rammed home the advantage with skipper Smith's fifty leading the charge on day 1. He put on 128 for the 3rd wicket with Khawaja to weather the difficult surface. Smith failed to get to his ton but Khawaja didn't as the southpaw continued his purple patch with a terrific knock. If New Zealand thought this was it, they were horribly wrong as Voges joined the party with a mammoth double ton.
New Zealand will look back at the first morning where they virtually lost the game after being put into bat on a green surface. The hosts lost half their side inside the first hour and from then on, it was always an uphill task although their tail pushed the total to 183, a figure that looked distant at one stage when they were 97-7. Hazlewood's 4-fer was the standout performance for Australia with Siddle and Lyon providing able support.
Starting the day at 178-4, New Zealand lost Anderson very early. Debutant Nicholls got fifty but couldn't carry on and by lunch, Australia had more or less sealed the fate of this game. Marsh was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets while Lyon was brilliant with a 4-fer. Hazlewood was tidy as the tourists bowlers put on a disciplined effort on a track that had flattened out.
New Zealand have been bowled out for 327. An emphatic victory for Australia as they win by an innings and 52 runs to go 1-0 up in the 2-Test series. This victory also means that the visitors have retained the Trans-Tasman trophy. Starting the post-lunch session with just 3 wickets to win, Australia took less than an hour to complete proceedings. Southee's blitzkrieg provided some brief entertainment before the tourists duly finished off the innings.

.....DAY 4, SESSION 2.....Welcome back for the second session on day 4. This match could well be over in this session, if not inside the first hour itself. How long can New Zealand delay the inevitable? We shall find out as the players and umpires make their way to the middle. Australia have one hand on the Trans-Tasman Trophy. Unfortunately, due to lack of television feed there will be no commentary for this game. But we will keep you posted with updates.
The second new ball has just been taken after the older ball provided the tourists with appreciable reverse swing and some turn. The new ball is swinging and the Aussie pacers could seal it quickly after lunch. Only 3 wickets remain and with the deficit 138 the writing is on the wall for the Kiwis. Can they provide some resistance or will we have a quick finish after lunch? Join us in a while for the second session to find out. Unfortunately, due to lack of television feed there will be no commentary for this game. But we will keep you posted with updates.
LUNCH ON DAY-4, NZ 241-7, TRAIL BY 138. A good second hour of play to cap a fine session for the Australians. They snared 2 wickets after the drinks break, including the crucial one of debutant Nicholls who compiled a neat fifty. Bird was the man who struck after Lyon had removed Watling with a peach. Australia are just 3 wickets away from taking a 1-0 lead in this 2-match Test series. Unfortunately, due to lack of television feed there will be no commentary for this game. But we will keep you posted with updates.

DRINKS, FINAL SESSION, NZ 212-5, TRAIL BY 167. Good start to the day by the Australian bowlers. They have been tidy with Mitchell Marsh in particular getting appreciable reverse swing. He has also got the lone wicket to fall this morning as the visitors continue to chip away at the wickets. Nicholls continues to get hold one end up, bringing up his 50 in the process. It has been a decent debut for the young man so far. Unfortunately, due to lack of television feed there will be no commentary for this game. But we will keep you posted with updates.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of fourth day's play of the first Test between Australia and New Zealand in Wellington. With a deficit of 201 and 6 wickets in the bank, New Zealand are really staring down the barrel at the Basin Reserve especially with 2 full days left. Can the hosts fight on or will the Australians wrap things up quickly. The first session will be of paramount importance as far setting the tone is concerned. Unfortunately, due to lack of television feed there will be no commentary for this game. But we will keep you posted with updates.
.....DAY 4, SESSION 1.....
Two whole days to go. The first aim for New Zealand will be to avoid innings defeat. Then bat for as long as possible. Can that happen? In all likelihood, tomorrow could be the last day of this Test match. But this is cricket and anything could happen. Join us tomorrow at 0300 IST (2130 GMT) to find out what that anything could be. Until then, Adios! Take Care!
The Kiwis battled hard. Both the openers lost their patience and threw it away while Williamson got a jaffa. Nicholls is still out there, looking nice on debut but he will need every bit of support from the middle and lower middle order to keep Australia at bay.
Excellent last session for the visitors. They picked up 3 wickets in it, the last 2 coming in the final hour. They have been persistent with their lines and lengths and have been rewarded. Lyon was impressive, getting rid of both the openers while Hazlewood got rid of the dangerous Williamson. Marsh was not that great but he has got the massive scalp of the Kiwi captain.
STUMPS ON DAY 3! NEW ZEALAND ARE 178/4, TRAILING BY 201. That wicket on the last ball of the day is a shot in the arm for the Aussies. That too, of the skipper, McCullum, who walks off waving his bat to the crowd. It is the last time he has walked out with the bat at this venue in internationals. The crowd rises up as one to wave him goodbye.

DRINKS, FINAL SESSION, NZ - 153/2, TRAIL BY 226. Good tight bowling from Australia. 47 runs conceded in 19 overs with the prized scalp of Williamson. New Zealand are fighting hard though and the visitors will have to toil to pick 10 wickets. They will look for one more strike in the remaining 14 overs in the day. Unfortunately, due to lack of television feed there will be no commentary for this game. But we will keep you posted with updates.

Welcome back. That was hardly a break, wasn't it? We are all set to resume. The players are back out on the field. 33 overs left in the day. Australia will be looking for a wicket or two while the Kiwis will aim for another strong session. Unfortunately, due to lack of television feed there will be no commentary for this game. But we will keep you posted with updates.
... DAY 3, SESSION 3 ...
Australia were better in that final hour of the second session. They got some reverse as well but have not quite been able to force a collapse of sorts. However, if they continue to bowl in the right channel, they will back themselves to break through. Especially with that inexperienced middle order. Join us back at 0800 IST (0230 GMT) for the final session. Unfortunately, due to lack of television feed there will be no commentary for this game. But we will keep you posted with updates.
TEA ON DAY 3. NEW ZEALAND ARE 106/1, TRAILING BY 273. A very good session for the home side. Scored at more than 3.5 runs an over and lost just the solitary wicket of Guptill. Latham survived a dropped chance but otherwise has looked solid. Williamson, on the other hand, is looking as good as a rock as ever.

DRINKS, SECOND SESSION, NZ - 67/0, TRAIL BY 312. This is a fantastic start by the Kiwi opening pair against this huge wall of a deficit of 379. There is nothing in the pitch, no swing, nor seam movement and crucially, what Guptill and Latham have done is - put the bad balls away. They have not been overawed by the situation and are batting as if in a normal situation. Terrific stuff. Australia have been poor, to say the least. Too many short balls and the full ones, if any, have been too wide. They need to regroup and try and get a wicket or two in the next hour. Unfortunately, due to lack of television feed there will be no commentary for this game. But we will keep you posted with updates.

Welcome back. We are all set to resume the afternoon session. The Kiwis need to take this in 2-hour periods, or perhaps in one-hour ones and bat with concentration. The players are out on the field and we are set to continue...
... DAY 3, SESSION 2 ...
LUNCH ON DAY 3. NEW ZEALAND ARE 1/0, TRAILING BY 378. So the Kiwis have seen off the uncomfortable one over before lunch. They now have 8 whole sessions to themselves, to try and salvage something fruitful for their skipper. Join us back at 0540 IST (0010 GMT) for the second session. Unfortunately, due to lack of television feed there will be no commentary for this game. But we will keep you posted with updates.
