Looking at the scorecard, wondering if Taylor has run out of gas. So near to a triple. SO can't declare, even if that is the humane action.

Taylor nearing a triple, and New Zealand lead by 63.

Well done old fella.

Smith to get a wicket here. Gotta go after him.

Taylor doesn't mind giving Boult the strike does he.

Well done Taylor, gets the record in the end :clap

The next milestone in sight is 300 - just 10 runs away, then BMac's 302 as the highest score by a New Zealander. Will BMac declare before that happens?

New Zealand have a handy little lead of 65, which has been added by the last two wickets.

There will be two Taylor's with a 300 if Ross gets there. The other being Mark.

Australia doing their best to prove you wrong.

First, they lost a wicket with no, or few, runs on the board, then they go on a boundary rampage. 10 fours in the first 7 overs.

Can't mess this up. maybe throw Smith at some declaration batting, then go sensible.

Aside from four big scores, there have been a lot of starts by the other batters.
