Ahead of his 100th Test, Tim Southee faces scrutiny over his bowling and captaincy. Ben Sears set for Test debut. Hazlewood shines with 12th five-for as New Zealand bowled out for 162. Labuschagne stands tall as Australia fights back. Hazlewood's exceptional form evident in the match.
Hazlewood's Test bowling average has dipped below 25. It's not quite in Hadlee's class, but for an hour at Hagley Oval he was, and Hadlee's hometown appreciated it #NZvAUS https://t.co/K2GjxLeGNs

Christchurch cricket fans know what great fast bowling looks like. And what Hazlewood produced on day one was Hadlee-esque. He was metronomic, masterful, and relentless. ✍️ @Alex_Malcolm writes: https://t.co/K2GjxLeGNs https://t.co/dH1eVgXJIp
