Australia's bowlers, led by Josh Hazlewood, dominated the second Test against New Zealand. Tim Southee faced scrutiny ahead of his 100th Test, while Ben Sears made his debut. Hazlewood's exceptional performance led to New Zealand being bowled out for 162. Marnus Labuschagne and Hazlewood shone for Australia, with Labuschagne falling just short of a century. Australia ended their first innings with a lead of 94. Glenn Phillips impressed with both bat and ball for New Zealand. The match saw a total of 21 wickets fall on the second day, with Kane Williamson and Tom Latham fighting back for New Zealand.
It took something special to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne today, and Glenn Phillips was up to it ๐คฏ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ #NZvAUS https://t.co/5qlVxOjTON
