Australia are struggling in the fourth innings chase as the New Zealand bowlers are running through the visiting top order in the last session of Day 3. Marnus Labuschagne, who scored a fighting 90 in the last innings, got dismissed by Ben Sears - almost two times between three balls.

The Black Caps bowlers are testing the Aussies with their brilliant seam bowling ploy. In the chase of 372 runs, Matt Henry removed the prolific Steve Smith in the ninth over of the innings. Two overs later, the new-man-in Labuschagne had his time to walk last time on the tour. 

Against an out-seam delivery off Ben Sears, the Australian No.3 had an outside edge on a good length delivery that pitched in the channel. Unfortunately for the Kiwis, Daryl Mitchell - at first slip - dropped a dolly catch before Sears took the job in his hands to send back Labuschagne off a caught & bowled.

The bowler pitched a full length delivery on the middle and leg stump line, to which Labuschagne went for a flick but ended up getting a leading edge straight to Sears.
