Australia slid to their fifth consecutive defeat at home. The home side’s 226 total was a competitive target on a slow pitch but New Zealand paced their innings brilliantly.

The Kiwis started patiently and McCullum (43) was involved in two 40-plus partnerships with Fulton and Taylor (47) to ensure his team didn’t lose early wickets.

Taylor then added 72 with Elliot, but despite his dismissal, New Zealand were always in the hunt. Warner gave good support to Elliot, who made an unbeaten 61, and helped see his team through to a victory and a 2-0 lead.

Earlier, Australia made 225 runs for loss of five wickets.

Michael Clarke was declared the Man of the Match for his 98.
