Ross Taylor puts on a batting masterclass

Following on with the run-fest on the flat WACA pitch, New Zealand's Ross Taylor brings up a double century late on day 3 chasing down Australia's 9/559, still around 100 behind Australia's first innings total with 5 wickets in hand. By stumps on Day 3, New Zealand trailed by 49 runs at 6/510 with Taylor not out on 235 and poised to run down Warner's 253 early on day 4.

Taylor had a wide array of shots against an Australian bowling group lacking penetration. In all fairness, Mitchell Starc had a couple of catches put down as he cracked the 160 kph club. Taylor's driving was excellent going straight down the ground on multiple occasions, his cut shot was pretty good too. He becomes just the first Kiwi to crack a double century against Australia. He put on a batting masterclass, that's for sure.
