Paceman James Pattinson claimed a five-wicket haul for a second successive match as Australia barged New Zealand out for 150 in its first innings on the opening day of the second Test Friday. Australia managed only four overs in its reply before torrential rain brought a premature end to the day but still lost embattled opener Phillip Hughes for four. David Warner (seven) and Usman Khawaja (one) will resume on 12-1 Saturday. Pattinson, who took 5-27 on debut to fire the hosts to a nine-wicket victory in the first test earlier this week, removed New Zealand's last two wickets on consecutive balls just before tea to finish with figures of 5-51. The 21-year-old was ably aided by Peter Siddle, who took 3-24, and Mitchell Starc (2-30) as the Australian seamers made the most of having first crack on a lively greentop wicket at the Bellerive Oval. Dean Brownlie offered New Zealand's only real resistance, notching an impressive 56 off 85 balls with 10 fours before cutting the ball onto his own wicket to give Pattinson his penultimate victim in the innings. New Zealand skipper Ross Taylor had a morning to forget, losing all rounder Daniel Vettori to a hamstring strain aggravated in the warm-up, then the important toss, and finally three wickets inside the first 45 minutes, including his own. Australia started unchanged from the team that won the opening match of the two-test series last Sunday and it was Siddle who initially got the most movement out of the wicket, having Martin Guptill caught behind for three with his second ball of the day. Martin got immediate revenge with a superb spell of bowling in the rain-shortened Australian effort and ensured that opener Hughes's woes with the bat continued. The 23-year-old again showed his susceptibility to losing his wicket to the slip fielders when he was caught by Guptill attempting a defensive shot against the bowler who twice took his wicket cheaply at the Gabba.
