A timely return to form by New Zealand opener Tom Latham hauled the Black Caps back into the second Test against Australia on Saturday as they overhauled a 94-run deficit to lead by 40 at stumps.
Latham, dropped by Alex Carey on 59, was unbeaten on 65 in New Zealand's second innings at Christchurch's Hagley Oval exactly a year after his last half-century against Sri Lanka at the same ground.
Following the early dismissal of Will Young for one, Latham and Kane Williamson put on a partnership of 105 for the second wicket.
