The match report has landed which is my cue to get out of here. Thanks for your company over the last four days, a shame that we didn’t get a closer finish but well played Australia – that was a ruthless couple of hours this morning.
Plenty to ponder for New Zealand, there are chinks in this Australia batting line up that they can exploit but they will need to put together full days of dominance rather than just sporadic passages here and there if they are to get anything out of this series in Christchurch.
Join us in a few days for that one, until then – goodbye!
Victorious Captain Pat Cummins speaks:
We had our moments. It was a really good game overall and we never felt too far in front on that wicket. We were a little bit surprised seeing how green it was, it was really bouncy and had some pace - as much bounce as any wicket I’ve seen for a long time. [
(Cameron Green) Was amazing, really the difference in the end. I thought the way he went about it, that intent, putting pressure back on the bowlers was excellent. It’s a pretty quick turnaround before Christchurch, we’ll enjoy this win but stay pretty chilled.”
