MELBOURNE - Fired-up paceman James Pattinson smashed through New Zealand’s top order with three quick wickets as New Zealand’s chase of an improbable 488-run victory target got off to a disastrous start on day four of the Boxing Day test on Sunday.

Pattinson removed opener Tom Latham for eight, captain Kane Williamson for a duck and had Ross Taylor drag onto his stumps for two in the space of nine deliveries before lunch at a steamy Melbourne Cricket Ground. Australia declared their second innings closed at 168 for five after Travis Head was bowled by Neil Wagner for 28 early in the session.
