Photo: GettyA devastating spell of late-night bowling from Mitchell Starc has left the Black Caps teetering on the edge of disaster after two days of the first test in Perth. Starc claimed four wickets in the final session to sink the Black Caps to 109-5 at stumps, still trailing Australia by 307 runs. To hold Australia to 416 was ultimately impressive from the New Zealand bowlers, after Ferguson's absence left the Black Caps with just four frontline bowlers. Unfortunately for the Black Caps batsmen, that time was not a good one to be inserted.
