Australia are in the box seat in the second Test after racing through New Zealand with the ball and offering dogged resistance with the bat on day one.
A Josh Hazlewood-inspired attack rolled New Zealand for 162 in Christchurch, where Australia's pacemen cashed in on Pat Cummins winning the toss.
Hazlewood claimed 5-31, including four of the top five Kiwi batters, while Mitchell Starc surpassed the great Dennis Lillee's 355 Test wickets on his way to 3-59.
