On the match front, Australia began Day 2 at 124-4, ending with a 94-run lead after bowling out New Zealand for 162 on Day 1. Josh Hazlewood starred with five wickets, while Mitchell Starc took three. Matt Henry’s seven-wicket haul restricted Australia from a bigger lead.

The Kiwi keeper-batter’s exceptional catch and bowling figures of 5-0-14-1 dismissed Alex Carey. Despite his efforts, New Zealand lost the first Test to Australia. Glenn Phillips’ fifty helped reduce the deficit, but Australia’s strong performance set a challenging target.

The second Test in Christchurch promises an exciting finale, with Australia also dominating the preceding T20I series, gearing up for the T20 World Cup.
