New Zealand 157 & 369 for 6
McCullum 94*, McIntosh 83, Vettori 77
The locals were at 6-369 a lead of 67 when bad light stopped play with 30 overs remaining to be bowled on the fourth day.
The Kiwis have made a remarkable comeback, losing just one wicket on the day and edging past an Australian side spooked by the gale force winds and exhausted from two and half days bowling. Brendon McCullum played a remarkable innings of 94 and Daryl Tuffey is at 23.
Nathan Hauritz 3-119 (49o) took the only wicket of the day, taking Daniel Vettori. The Australian bowlers look tired and have struggled in the extraordinarily windy conditions at the Basin Reserve.
The bureau of meteorology reportied 130kmh wind gusts that have created mayhem on and off the field. POOR light and strong wind has combined to offer New Zealand a chance of rescuing or even winning the extraordinary first cricket Test.
