Australia build huge lead in first Test against New Zealand
Steve Smith was caught out by New Zealand’s short-ball plan again, but Australia moved towards setting the Black Caps a massive fourth-innings target in Perth. The Aussies went to stumps at 167-6 on Saturday, leading the Black Caps by 417 with two full days still to play in the first of the three-Test series. It means Australia will ask New Zealand to either pull off a world-record chase or survive two days against the pink ball to get a result when their innings ends on Sunday. But after Joe Burns and Marnus Labuschagne both hit half-centuries on Saturday, Smith fell to the Black Caps’ trap for a second time in as many innings on just 16. Caught pulling Neil Wagner behind square in the first innings, Smith again pulled the left-armer straight to Jeet Raval at square leg halfway in from the rope. It marked the first time Australia’s batting wizard has gone three Tests without a half-century throughout his 71-match career.

At least one Australian is still entombed on volcano island or buried at sea after rescue operation only brings back six bodies with two still missing
Two Australians may still be buried on New Zealand's White Island or lost at sea following Monday's deadly volcanic eruption. Kiwi soldiers recovered six of the eight bodies remaining on the island by mid-afternoon on Friday after being deployed to the disaster zone in protective suits and gas masks. Before the daring mission, there were six Australian tourists and two New Zealand tour guides left on the island.
