Australia has reached 3-147 at stumps on day one in controversial circumstances.

The Aussies trailed the Black caps by 36 runs at stumps after dismissing the hosts for just 183.

In reply, Australia looked on shaky ground early, losing Burns (0) and Warner (5) within the first three overs, before Smith and Khawaja steadied the ship.

The pair shred in a 126-run partnership before Smith was dismissed late on day one for 71.

At stumps, Khawaja reached 57, while Adam Voges is on seven. However, Voges should have been dismissed with just three balls remaining in the day.

The West Australia was clean bowled by Doug Bracewell after leaving a ball that cut back beautifully.

However, the umpire judged Bracewell's foot to be over the line, calling a no-ball.

But replays showed that his foot was well behind the line, meaning Voges should have been given out.

Earlier, Australia bowled New Zealand all out for just 183 in the first innings of the opening Test in Wellington.

Australia won the toss and sent the Kiwis into bat on green wicket and the Aussie bowlers were rewarded immediately, with Josh Hazlewood striking in just the third over.

The 25-year-old removed Tom Latham for six, as he was caught behind tentatively nudging at a ball outside off stump.

Hazlewood then had his second a few overs later, to make it 2-38, as Martin Guptill was caught at second Smith by Steve Smith for 18.

Scoring runs was not New Zealand's problem as they raced along to 40 off just seven overs, with both Guptill and No.3 Kane Williamson scoring at a run a ball. However, their free flowing scoring was also their undoing, as Williamson (16) was caught behind trying to drive Peter Siddle in just his second ball of his first spell to make it 3-44.

The very next over Hazlewood claimed his third, as captain Brendon McCullum was caught by Warner for a duck in his 100th Test match.

Siddle then made sure it was a debut to forget for Henry Nicholls, removing the the 24-year-old for eight as New Zealand slumped to 5-51 from 11 overs.

Corey Anderson (14) and BJ Watling (13) then safely saw off the remaining overs before lunch, as the Black Caps reached 5-84 at lunch.

New Zealand's fortunes did not improve after lunch, with Hazlewood removing Watling straight after lunch for 17.

It was then 7-97 just three overs later as Siddle picked up his third wicket dismissing Bracewell for five.

Anderson was the last of the recognised batsmen to go, falling for 38 to Nathan Lyon, who claimed the final three wickets, but not before some lower order resistance from Mark Craig (41 not out) and Trent Boult (24),who shared in a 46-run partnership.
