Marnus Labuschagne scores 90 as Kiwi quick Matt Henry takes 7-67Australia skipper Pat Cummins bowled Kane Williamson in the final hour of play on the second day of the second Test in Christchurch on Saturday, just as the master batsman threatened an innings that would put New Zealand on top.
Opener Latham was later dropped behind by Australia’s wicketkeeper Alex Carey but reached stumps on 65 not out and will resume on Sunday alongside Rachin Ravindra, who was unbeaten on 11, with New Zealand 40 runs ahead on 134 for two. Seamer Matt Henry had earlier kept the Black Caps in the contest with bowling figures of 7-67 as New Zealand dismissed Australia for 256 and restricted the visitors to a first-innings advantage of 94 runs.
