Australia vs New Zealand 1st Test Day 3 Highlights 14 Feb 2016

Watch Aus v NZ 1st Test Day 3 Cricket Match Highlights Today, Sunday 14-2-2016.

At the Stumps of Day, 2 Australia lead by 280 runs with 4 wickets remaining in the 1st innings. UT Khawaja 140, AC Voges 176 not out and PM Siddle 29 not out. Usman Khawaja completed his fourth test century yesterday and he is doing a brilliant job for his team. Adam Voges magnificent performance took Australia too far from a loss.

TG Southee took two wickets on the first day. Then TA Boult helped NZ with two more dismissals. Then CJ Anderson one wicket and MD Craig took one wicket. This test looks gone from New Zealander’s hand. Finding an ideal offsider in Voges, Khawaja picked gaps regularly off both front and back foot to register his first Test century overseas. Given the opposition and the conditions he faced on day one, it was arguably his finest, ending only when Trent Boult briefly found some life with the second new ball.
