(BBC) Australia look set for a 2-0 series victory following a productive day four of the second Test against New Zealand yesterday.

After setting an unlikely victory target of 479, Australia reduced the hosts to 185-5, with Mitchell Johnson (3-39) in impressive form in Hamilton.

New Zealand’s dwindling hopes rest upon Martin Guptill (29 not out) and Brendon McCullum (19 not out).

Earlier, Marcus North (90), Michael Clarke (63) and Brad Haddin (48) pushed Australia to 511-8 declared.
Vice-captain Clarke had added his 18th Test half century before he was trapped lbw via the referral system to Brett Arnel in the morning session.

North continued his aggressive intent, confidently stroking his way towards his fifth century as Australia extended their lead to over 400.
