First, Cameron Green and Josh Hazlewood combined for a stunning knock to leave Australia cheering and New Zealand frustrated.

And if it wasn’t already bad enough for the hosts, disaster struck with the bat in hand as New Zealand went 3-0 in six balls to put Australia in a commanding position in the opening innings of the first Test at the Basin Reserve.

Mitchell Starc claimed Australia’s first wicket as he dismissed Tom Latham for five, leaving New Zealand at 1-12 early.

But things only got worse from that point in a horror mix-up as Kane Williamson hit a straight drive to mid-off and started a regulation run, only for Will Young to seemingly not share the same plans.

The pair proceeded to run into each other, with Williamson departing in stunning scenes.

“I cannot believe it, a direct hit … how has that happened?,” Brendon Julian said on TVNZ+ while Craig McMillan described it as a “disaster”.

“Calamity out there in the middle,” added Julian.

The hits kept coming for New Zealand as Rachin Ravindra then went for a duck after a great catch from Nathan Lyon that left the hosts at 3-12.

The unlikely duo survived more than two hours at the crease on Friday morning before Black Caps seamer Matt Henry broke the stand, with Hazlewood chipping a catch towards mid-off for 22.

Green finished unbeaten on 174, the highest score of his Test career, while Henry secured a five-wicket haul, finishing with 5-70.
