A dark day for the Black Caps

A dark day for the Black Caps

1 March 2024

After Australia outperformed their best-ever 10th-wicket partnership, with Cameron Green and Josh Hazlewood putting on 116 to bolster the tourists to 383 all out... New Zealand's top order collapsed.

Only Daryl Mitchell reached double figures as Kane Williamson and Rachin Ravindra departed for ducks and Tom Latham and Will Young also failed.

Tom Blundell's gone as a promising sixth-wicket partnership after tea was snuffed out by Nathan Lyon... Blundell out for 33 after putting on 84 with Glenn Phillips.

Now Scott Kuggeleijn's become Lyon's second wicket for zero.

The hosts 114 for 7, a short time ago... 269 runs behind.
