Brendon McCullum, walking out to bat for the final time in Tests, wasn't given a Guard of Honour, but was welcomed with applause by the crowd and the Australian team at the Hagley Oval

New Zealand lost the wicket of Martin Guptill early. But Tom Latham (above) displayed strong resistance to help stabilize the innings. But he departed after getting drawn into a false drive. Henry Nicholls too walked back to the pavilion soon after

The New Zealand skipper played some good shots, but looked in trouble against the reverse swinging delivery. Nonetheless, he played an entertaining 25-run cameo.

Australia were bowled out for 505 runs in their first innings, gaining a 135-run lead

McCullum acknowledges the applause of the Hagley Oval crowd as he heads back to the pavilion.
