Australia 5 for 254 (Clarke 99*, Ponting 78, Haddin 2*) follow New Zealand 295 by 41 runs
Ricky Ponting's extended wait for his 40th test century continue but Michael Clarke was just one run short of his 17th hundred as Australia reach 254-5 at have lunch on the third day of the first test next to New Zealand on Saturday.
Australia, who resume on 154-3, inch progressively towards New Zealand's first innings tally of 295 with Clarke uncertainly balanced on 99 and Brad Haddin next to him on two when the break arrived to end an comprehensive morning session.
Ponting, who Clarke replaces as captain previous this year, had been hoping to notch up his first century since January 2010 but was able only to add 11 to his for the night total before being attentive lbw by Chris Martin for 78.
Clarke and Mike Hussey added another 60 runs before the knowledgeable Western Australian nicked within edge onto his pads and was caught by Jesse Ryder off the bowling of Daniel Vettori for 15.
That came a ball after Clarke had been drop on 85 by wicketkeeper Reece Young, the 30-year-old existing a big scare as he had when he was bowled on 23 on Friday but called back when television replays show he had been dismiss off a no ball.
Ponting's discharge was a reward for some good tight bowling from the New Zealanders, even if Clarke determined to challenge Aleem Dar's decision with a TV referral that upholds the umpire's call.
Clarke, who resume on 28, had earlier bring up his 22nd test half century in some style with a towering six back over the head of bowler Vettori. (Writing by Nick Mulvenney in Sydney, suppression by Greg Stutchbury)
