At stumps, Australia were 40 without loss after dismissing New Zealand in the final hour of the day. Glenn Phillips made a skillful, but at times fortunate, 52 on debut to lead New Zealand’s innings. Lyon then bowled Greg Somerville and Neil Wagner for ducks in the same over to reduce the visitors to 237-9. Lyon will also likely benefit during New Zealand’s second innings as the pitch further deteriorates. “I don’t know if it’s going to spin, if it hits the rough, or go straight,” Lyon said.
