Australia move closer to Test win against New Zealand

Australia look set for a 2-0 series victory over hosts New Zealand following a productive day four of the second Test in Hamilton.



After setting an unlikely victory target of 479, Australia reduced New Zealand to 185 for 5 against the bowling of Mitchell Johnson three for 39.



New Zealand\'s dwindling hopes rest upon Martin Guptill, who is 29 not out and Brendon McCullum, who is undefeated on 19.



Earlier, Marcus North 90, Michael Clarke 63 and Brad Haddin 48 pushed Australia to 511 for eight declared, after they resumed today on 334 for four.



Scores in the match so far are Australia 231 and 511 for eight declared, New Zealand 264 and 185 for five
