Patient Australia bowled out for 416 in first test

PERTH: A patient Australia made New Zealand toil in the fierce heat during a dour middle session on the second day of the first test on Friday, as the hosts were bowled out for 416 on the stroke of dinner.

Only one boundary was struck in the hour after tea, as Australia crawled at less than two runs per over. Part-time spinner Jeet Raval finally provided a spark when he bowled Pat Cummins around his legs for 20 to claim his first test wicket. The tourists were shorthanded with debutant paceman Lockie Ferguson, himself a replacement for injured spearhead Trent Boult, unable to bowl for the remainder of the test after damaging his calf on day one.Resuming day two on 248-4, Labuschagne and Head were untroubled in a 76-run partnership to wrest control of the contest.

Wagner, New Zealand's best bowler on day one, broke the partnership when he knocked over Labuschagne’s leg stump and Head was dismissed after driving straight to extra cover off Southee.
