Cameron Green and Josh Hazlewood scripted history for Australia during the first Test against New Zealand at Basin Reserve, Wellington on Friday.

The duo stitched the highest 10th-wicket partnership in Test cricket against New Zealand.

Green and Hazlewood amassed 116 runs for the final wicket to guide Australia to 383 in their first innings after a tricky start of the opening day.

The duo broke the previous 114-run 10th-wicket partnership record of Jason Gillespie and Glenn McGrath in Brisbane in 2004. It was also the sixth 100 or more partnership for the 10th wicket for Australia.

Green's unbeaten performance of 174 encouraged Australia, with the young all-rounder playing a patient game to begin before reaching his second Test century in the penultimate over of the day, and then taking a more attacking strategy with Hazlewood on Friday.

The duo batted wisely when necessary, with Green, in particular, using his power to smash anything short from the Kiwis, frustrating the hosts and registering the fourth-best partnership of all time for the 10th wicket by an Australian team.

Green's hundred was just the second time he has scored triple digits for Australia in Test cricket, topping his previous best of 114 against India in Ahmedabad last year.
