![Australia v New Zealand: third Test, day two – live!](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/ee9c4a9f2b493dc32f8b3819b9819ae641af37c2/99_182_3598_2159/master/3598.jpg?width=1200&height=630&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&overlay-align=bottom%2Cleft&overlay-width=100p&overlay-base64=L2ltZy9zdGF0aWMvb3ZlcmxheXMvdGctbGl2ZS5wbmc&enable=upscale&s=b325905fb60b331ef79719ae79e803c1)
99th over: Australia 298-4 (Labuschagne 140, Head 5) Labuschagne turns the strike over early in the over with a compact sweep before Head continues to leave everything he can outside the off-stump as he plays himself in. No rush here. That’s one of the many reasons why I’m well against the move for compulsory four-day Tests: there’s something meaningful to be found in quiet spells. Anyway, I won’t go on about it as this is all inevitable now that CA are banging the drum. 12.07am GMT
98th over: Australia 297-4 (Labuschagne 139, Head 5) Wagner finds Labuschagne’s inside edge for a second time in this first half hour. It’s now Head’s turn to take a look at New Zealand’s number one, leaving both the short and full stuff well alone.
