Black Caps end Test series with embarrassing loss

From Summer Report, 8:42 am on 7 January 2020

The Black Caps have been embarrassed by Australia in the third and final cricket Test in Sydney, losing by a mammoth 279 runs.

The Australians sealed the win - and a 3-0 series victory - with a day to spare.

But there's perhaps one silver lining amid New Zealand's drubbing -- batsman Ross Taylor has become the Black Caps highest-ever run scorer, taking his career tally to 7,174 runs.
