Australia v New Zealand, 2nd Test - Day 3
- Ross Taylor too raced to his century with a third man boundary off Nathan Lyon, his first since the 104 against Pakistan in November 2014.
- It didn't take long for Ross Taylor to convert the 150 into a double, second of his career. Taylor ended Day three unbeaten on 235, his personal best in international Test cricket.
- Australia's Mitchell Starc etched his name in record books with the fourth delivery of his 21st over, clocking 160.4 kmph - the fastest delivery ever bowled in Test cricket.
- Kane Williamson was lucky to see a thick outside edge from his batting falling just short in the slip cordon.
- Kane Williamson registered his 12th Test century, and fourth this calendar year, with a boundary off Mitchell Johnson.
- BJ Watling, the New Zealand wicket-keeper batsman, had a horrible outing, scoring just 1 off 12 balls.
- Ending a year-long rough patch, Ross Taylor anchored the New Zealand innings even as wickets tumbled at the other end and brought up his 150 with a beautiful straight-drive off Starc.
- Kane Williamson (70*) and Ross Taylor (26*) resumed New Zealand's first innings on Day three of the WACA Test at 140/2.
- Mitchell Marsh rattled Brendon McCullum's stumps to end his knock on 27.
- Josh Hazlewood got Australia the much-needed breakthrough with the second new ball as he had Williamson caught by Johnson at mid-on on 166.
