N. Wagner once again picked up the big wickets of Steve Smith, T. Head, and T. Paine. He also troubled Australian openers. Wagner took 4 Aussie wickets in the first innings of the first Test between Australia and New Zealand.

Tim Southee picked up 3 wickets while Colin de Grandhome was unlucky to bag any scalps on day 2.

NZ opening batsmen Tom Blundell (15) got out early off Pat Cummins bowling. New Zealand skipper K. Willamson (9) also got out without hitting a double-digit score. Both P. Cummins and J. Pattinson picked 1 wicket each.

Latham and Taylor stayed at the crease with the NZ team score at 44-2 in 18 overs. It remains to be seen how New Zealand will hope to bounce back on day 3 and show their batting prowess against the dangerous Australian bowling attack.
