Mitchell Marsh destroyed New Zealand's expectations for a Brendon McCullum rescue mission after Adam Voges' record-breaking twofold century put Australia solidly in order of the principal Test in Wellington on Sunday.
At stumps on the third day, New Zealand were 178 for 4 in their second innings, requiring a further 201 to make Australia bat once more.
Test debutant Henry Nicholls was not out 31 with McCullum lbw to Marsh in the last over of the day for 10.
Voges' 239 was partially demonstration of how quiet the pitch had gotten to be subsequent to New Zealand were moved for 183 inside two sessions on the principal day. Be that as it may, there were still wickets to be had, as Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood found.
For New Zealand there were recollections of being on the ropes against India at the same ground two years prior and being protected by McCullum's triple century.
The huge hitting commander was hinting at each hoping to dive in for a long stay with his 10 falling off 31 conveyances yet he was out with three balls staying in the day.
"To get McCullum [in the] last over of the day, the changing room's really upbeat," Voges said. "I'm allowing myself to get in every time I bat and when I do get in I'm eager to score enormous runs. To get to 200 today and get us into an extraordinary position is an extremely fulfilling feeling."
