Australia vs New Zealand LIVE: Green speaks after ton

Lachlan Harper

Humble as ever, Cameron Green says it's all about the team after scoring his second Test hundred.

"Obviously feels really good mainly for where we are with the team," he told TVNZ+.

"It was a pretty tough wicket out there and I feel like the boys played pretty well. It's just one of those days and I think someone just needed to bat through and I'm glad it was me."

Green combined with Mitch Marsh for an important 67-run partnership and explained the role that played in helping him get past a tricky period at the start of his innings.

"I was finding it quite tough out there and I'm pretty happy I know how Mitch is going to play," he said.

"We've played quite a lot of times with each other in Western Australia. I knew he was going to play his shots and that's probably what you needed to do out there."

With the Black Caps only needing one more wicket, Green admitted the opposition are probably just ahead.

"It's pretty close, I reckon they're just on top. They've got a pretty quality batting lineup and we've got to bowl well tomorrow."

Nathan Lyon gives the Black Caps a chance and Kane Williamson has dropped it.

It was a tough catch low to his right but it's a drop nonetheless.
