The hosts, sent in by stand-in skipper Aaron Finch, recovered from 5-134 to post a total of 9-286 at Eden Park. Stoinis top-scored as his side were all out for 280. The 27-year-old, whose first-class bowling average is almost 50, took control of the contest by claiming three key wickets including Williamson and Martin Guptill. Neil Broom (73) and James Neesham (48) rallied for the hosts after Stoinis' three wickets.
