DAY TWO OF THE THIRD TEST BETWEEN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND IN ADELAIDE:

* SCORE: New Zealand 202 and 5-116 v Australia 224

* MAN OF THE MOMENT: Josh Hazlewood. In the absence of injured Mitchell Starc, he takes the mantle as Australia's pace spearhead and performs superbly, taking 3-32 from 16 overs - and having two catches dropped by Steve Smith at slip from his bowling

* KEY MOMENT: In a howler which swayed the Test, third umpire Nigel Llong gives Nathan Lyon not out despite Hot Spot replays showing he edged a ball onto his shoulder to be caught at gully. At the time, Australia were 8-116 and Lyon was yet to score - he finished with 34, putting on a crucial 74 runs with Peter Nevill which dragged Australia back into the Test

* STAT OF THE DAY: 94. New Zealand's slender overall lead entering day three

* SUMMARY: Australia suffer their worst batting collapse on home soil in five years, losing 6-53 before late heroics from Nevill (66), Lyon and Starc (24) give the hosts a first-innings lead. New Zealand's batting then falters under lights to leave the visitors staring at a 2-0 series defeat

* QUOTE OF THE DAY: "It's a mark on the bat but it could have come from anywhere." Llong's reasoning for his controversial Lyon verdict
