SYDNEY - Australia’s bowlers struck twice in three deliveries to break New Zealand’s early resistance and leave the tourists on 141 for three at lunch on the third day of the third test on Sunday, still trailing their hosts by 313 runs.
The Black Caps, looking for at least a draw to avoid a 3-0 series sweep, resumed on 63 without loss in reply to Australia’s 454, but were only able to add five runs to that tally before opener Tom Blundell was bowled through his legs by Nathan Lyon. Raval, dropped from the second test after a miserable run of form and also affected by the flu bug that ruled regular captain Kane Williamson and two other players out of the match, hit a bright 31 before he too fell victim to Lyon.
Latham made his exit three deliveries later for 49 when he lamely chipped a Pat Cummins delivery straight to Mitchell Starc at mid-on.Phillips is making his test debut after being rushed over from New Zealand on the eve of the test as cover for Williamson and the other sick batsman, Henry Nicholls.
