New Zealand vs Australia 2nd Test - Day 3

Nightwatchman Nathan Lyon and Adam Voges displayed strong defence early on Day 3 to put up a 81-run stand for the fifth wicket

Brendon McCullum, walking out to bat for the final time in Tests, wasn't given a Guard of Honour, but was welcomed with applause by the crowd and the Australian team at the Hagley Oval

Soon after Lunch, Neil Wagner struck four times and bagged six wickets in the innings to help New Zealand back into the match

New Zealand lost the wicket of Martin Guptill early. But Tom Latham (above) displayed strong resistance to help stabilize the innings. But he departed after getting drawn into a false drive. Henry Nicholls too walked back to the pavilion soon after

The New Zealand skipper played some good shots, but looked in trouble against the reverse swinging delivery. Nonetheless, he played an entertaining 25-run cameo.

Australia were bowled out for 505 runs in their first innings, gaining a 135-run lead

McCullum acknowledges the applause of the Hagley Oval crowd as he heads back to the pavilion.

Steve Smith, Australia skipper, congratulates McCullum on a fine career.
