That's all we have for you on commentary. The caravan moves to Christchurch for the final Test of the series, which is also McCullum's home and where he will end his international career. Australia will look to spoil the party again, and in the form they are in, they may be odds on to do so.
"Had a big slice of luck, but yeah, really good to capitalise and make the most of that luck and set up the game with the big partnership with Usman. Its pretty hard to [put it out of your mind] Don't get too many second chances, wanted to take the game on on the second day, but New Zealand bowled really well and I had to be patient. had a really good Sheffield Shield game as practice."
"The colour of the wicket certainly changed, probbaly got better to bat on. We exploited the conditions on the first day, we bowled very well. Usman and Adam played out of their skins on the first day. The bowlers toiled hard, reverse swing was handy, build pressure and happy to take 20 wickets and win. Siddle had a back spasm, all four bowlers did a terrific job. New Zealand play very well at home and for us the challenge is winning away from home. They will come back hard and hopefully we have another good game in Christchurch"
"Obvious not ideal. I thought Australia on the first morning put the ball in the right length and put us under huge pressure. Usman and Adam, the way they played on a wicket that still had something on it, credit to them. Turned out to be a pretty good wicket towards the end. If we had manufactured a score higher than the first innings and then bowling last on with a 200 run lead, would have been interesting," says Brendon McCullum. "Nicholls looked very composed. Some handy contributions as well. Still not quite sure whether the margin of the win is quite close to reflecting the two sides. Australia were top class, though. Its not idea, but you've got to give credit to Adam as well to have the strength of mind to overcome that and get 239. Testament to his character. Tough for our boys to cop, but we have to take the rough with the smooth"
2.10 pm An innings and 65 runs. That's a massive margin, on a pretty decent batting surface. Tells you how well Australia have played and it was all about the basics. A massive first-innings score and a diligent bowling display, hitting on and around off stump ever so often, which made the conventional swing and the reverse swing they generated that much more of a threat. New Zealand lose a test at home for the first time since March 2012. Australia take an unassailable 1-0 lead, and it appears the only problems they have is a slight back problem to Peter Siddle.
Earl John: "So, in 2 innings NZ batted for less overs than AUS did in one... "
104.3
Marsh to Boult, OUT, gives his hand away too early and Marsh nails the middle stump. Boult had moved away outside off and had gone so far that he can't bring the bat down on a simple, full straight ball. Excellent bowling display to finish off an innings victory
TA Boult b Marsh 12 (20m 16b 1x4 1x6) SR: 75.00
104.2
Marsh to Boult, FOUR, makes room and pulls a bouncer from off stump to the long-on boundary
104.1
Marsh to Boult, no run, over the wicket for a short ball jut outside off, Boult is across on the back foot, his front leg coming up off the pitch and then his wrists working overtime against the extra bounce to keep the ball down from short leg
End of over 104 (5 runs) New Zealand 323/9
MD Craig 33 (64b 6x4 0x6)
TA Boult 8 (13b 0x4 1x6)
NM Lyon 31-10-91-4
MR Marsh 17-2-69-2
103.6
Lyon to Craig, FOUR, shortish and outside off, cut away to the point boundary. Some lovely strokes from Craig. Strong off front or back foot
103.5
Lyon to Craig, no run, stretches forward outside off, defended
103.4
Lyon to Craig, no run, sound appeal for lbw, as Lyon slips one on a good length just outside off. Hits pad first as he tries to defend, but the impact was iffy
103.3
Lyon to Craig, no run, flatter ball on off stump, defended
103.2
Lyon to Boult, 1 run, down the track and heaves it to deep midwicket. Bit of an inside edge that really. Couldn't quite make the room he wanted
103.1
Lyon to Boult, no run, not much flight there, Boult recognises it and blocks on off stump
Long-on is back
End of over 103 (10 runs) New Zealand 318/9
MD Craig 29 (60b 5x4 0x6)
TA Boult 7 (11b 0x4 1x6)
MR Marsh 17-2-69-2
NM Lyon 30-10-86-4
102.6
Marsh to Craig, FOUR, he's switched gears, and this cover drive must have scorched the outfield on its way to the boundary. Only a little overpitched, but it has been pummeled with ease
102.5
Marsh to Craig, no run, fuller ball outside off, driven into the covers
Slip goes to short cover. Square leg comes up too
Luke: "you've got to hand it to Boult, for a no.11 he makes the game fun and has talent compared to he likes of Chris Martin"
102.4
Marsh to Craig, FOUR, banged in short and outside off, Craigh has pulled it past mid-on. Early decision to get into the shot and placed it nicely too
Grubb: "@Andy: the whole mindset, for me. The reaction to the Lyon not out and Voges 'no ball' have been odd. They were in decent positions in both cases but lost focus and seem to have used these things as a subconscious excuse rather than a catalyst to pick yourself up and do better. Just my take and could be wrong."
102.3
Marsh to Boult, 1 run, around the wicket for a length ball on leg stump, Boult steps away and slogs through midwicket
102.2
Marsh to Craig, 1 run, that's a loopy full toss outside off and Craig slashes it through point. Thought there was two, which is why they run, and now here's Boult
102.1
Marsh to Craig, no run, fuller ball outside off, Craig goes for the on-the-up cover drive, inside edge to long leg. No run taken
Mitch Marsh back in, around the stumps
End of over 102 (7 runs) New Zealand 308/9
TA Boult 6 (10b 0x4 1x6)
MD Craig 20 (55b 3x4 0x6)
NM Lyon 30-10-86-4
JR Hazlewood 29-7-75-2
101.6
Lyon to Boult, SIX, that could be the biggest six of the match. Boult runs at the spinner, gets the room to free the arms and tonks it miles over long-on. And that's the most sixes by a No. 11 batsman
101.5
Lyon to Boult, no run, comes down the track and heaves a good length ball from outside off to short midwicket
101.4
Lyon to Boult, no run, flighted just outside off for a block
101.3
Lyon to Boult, no run, fuller ball outside off, patted down
101.2
Lyon to Craig, 1 bye, looped it up, and gets it to dip before Craig can come forward and block. Then the turn beats the open face of the bat. Masterful
Phillo: "what we did worng was we should have had Brendan toss the coin and his daughter call!!!!"
101.1
Lyon to Craig, no run, tossed up on off stump, defended
End of over 101 (maiden) New Zealand 301/9
TA Boult 0 (6b 0x4 0x6)
MD Craig 20 (53b 3x4 0x6)
JR Hazlewood 29-7-75-2
NM Lyon 29-10-80-4
100.6
Hazlewood to Boult, no run, there's the flamingo block! Ah, that was a fun over. Shoritsh and outside off, he manages to get in line, lifts the front leg and blocks on the back on
100.5
Hazlewood to Boult, no run, goes around the stumps for a fierce yorker on off stump, Boult just plops a straight bat down on it. Easy, eh?
100.4
Hazlewood to Boult, no run, and now he clears the front leg to swat the short ball ball down the ground and falls away in the process. Lots of work to just get beaten
100.3
Hazlewood to Boult, no run, wanders across outside off, exposing his stumps, looks for the glance with leg slip in place. May actually be lucky he didn't connect
Two slips, gully, leg gully and short leg
100.2
Hazlewood to Boult, no run, backs that front leg away as he takes aim at a short ball on middle. Thought about the cut shot, but it was bouncing too much, so goes for the ramp and as high as he tries to reach, he can't get it
100.1
Hazlewood to Boult, no run, jumps back in the crease and I think he had both feet in the air when he blocked the shortish ball on middle
End of over 100 (16 runs) New Zealand 301/9
MD Craig 20 (53b 3x4 0x6)
TA Boult 0 (0b 0x4 0x6)
NM Lyon 29-10-80-4
JR Hazlewood 28-6-75-2
99.6
Lyon to Craig, no run, tossed up outside off, driven to long-off
Trent Boult is the last man in
david: "I think I may have given Lyon the "kiss of death" LOL."
99.5
Lyon to Southee, OUT, oh, it was always too good to last. Lyon has a fourth as he kept tossing the ball up, this time did so a little wider outside off. Southee, with his preference for leg-side play, tries to drag it. Mis-hit straight to Khawaja at long-on. Might just have been the fastest fifty by a NZ batsman in Tests had he held on a little longer
TG Southee c Khawaja b Lyon 48 (35m 23b 5x4 3x6) SR: 208.69
99.4
Lyon to Southee, SIX, that's the most sixes by a No. 10 batsman, he already has it for a No. 9. Brings up 300 as well with a wade down the track for a heave straight down the ground
