And that ends the day's play with Australian in an authoritative
position
The star for the home side has been the unflappable left-hander
Justin Langer, who today has joined the elite with his 20th Test
century
Langer's innings has been a wonderful mix of glorious attack and
resolute defence
His off side play has been a real feature
Langer also brought up 1000 runs for the calendar year 2004 late in
the day; the first time he has done so in his Test career
Hayden and Ponting have also played valuable supporting roles, both
notching half-centuries
Darren Lehmann has got off to a positive start and will be looking
to notch his first big Test innings on his home ground tomorrow
As for the New Zealand bowling, there really hasn't been much to
speak of on a pitch that hasn't offered them much
Australia will be looking to build a sizeable total on day two to
put themselves in an impregnable position by this time tomorrow

And that completes a more competitive session with New Zealand
taking three wickets
With Langer, Clarke and Lehmann falling in quick succession to the
slow bowling pair of Vettori and Wiseman, it represented something
of a mini-collapse
But Gilchrist and Warne have steadied the ship and Australia are
back on course to compile a monstrous total
We're probably not too far from a declaration - Ricky Ponting would
be looking at something in the vicinity of 600 - and allowing his
bowlers to get a crack at the New Zealand batsmen who have spent
two long, tiring days in the field

And that ends the days play
Australia finishes day two in a dominant position
New Zealand face a monumental task in trying to save this Test
And the loss of their two opening batsmen in the final session
certainly hasn't helped
The pitch is still playing well, so there's no reason why the New
Zealand batsmen can't frustrate the Australians tomorrow in the
same way the Australian batsmen have frustrated them in the last
two days
However in the absence of any indication that the visitors can do
so, an Australian victory looks like the most likely result

And that completes a disastrous session for the visitors
Australia have ripped right through the New Zealand middle order
with all the main bowlers contributing
At eight wickets down and still 359 runs behind, avoiding the
follow on now looks like mission impossible
The real question becomes, assuming these last two wickets do fall
in the final session, is whether Australia captain Ricky Ponting
will enforce the follow on
Or perhaps Australia will decide to bat
They have been been gun shy about enforcing the follow on after the
2001 Calcutta debacle

Australia end the day as they've ended the last two - well and
truly on top of this match
A somewhat surprising, and peculiarly defensive, decision by
Ponting to bat again instead of sending the visitors into bat
again when they were well and truly on the ropes
It makes New Zealand's task of saving the game somewhat easier
Australia will be looking to build a lead of 450 to 500 runs before
declaring sometime around Lunch tomorrow

batting out this final session and forcing the match into a fifth
day
Something they failed to do in the first Test
