NEW DELHI: Australia found themselves 202 runs away from victory with six wickets in hand at the conclusion of day three of the second Test in Christchurch, setting the stage for an enthralling finale after New Zealand seized momentum with late bowling exploits.
Australia's skipper, Pat Cummins, led from the front with a splendid bowling display, claiming four wickets for 62 runs as the visitors, already leading 1-0 in the series following their win in Wellington, restricted the Black Caps to 372 in their second innings after tea.
