NZ end 26-year wait for Australia win

New Zealand recorded their first Test victory in Australia for the first time in 26 years earlier today.

The home side resumed the final day needing just 169 more runs to win, while having all ten wickets intact.

Despite a maiden Test century from David Warner, Australia eventually fell seven runs short of their victory target.

The Kiwi's most productive bowler was Doug Bracewell, who ended the encounter with figures of 6-40.

New Zealand's victory ensured that the two-match series was drawn 1-1.
