After being hammered by Australia in Wellington, New Zealand team have now moved to Christchurch for the second test to make a comeback. However their paceman William ORourke is in serious doubt after his hamstring to be assessed in next 24 hours. As Kiwis don't have any fourth seamer, they're pondering to bring back Neil Wagner for one last time.

O'Rourke walked off the field five balls into his eighth over on the third day with tightness in his left hamstring. He did not return to the field for the remainder of Australia's second innings, but he did bat day four and was able to run between the wickets although he was never required to sprint. But with New Zealand 1-0 down in the series, Southee was asked specifically post-match whether Wagner could be recalled for Christchurch and he did not rule it out.

"We haven't had a lot of discussions as yet," Southee said. "We'll see how Will scrubs up. The physio hasn't sort of put a timeframe on it or how bad it is. We'll just wait and see how Will goes over the next couple of days. I'm sure there'll be an update in the next 24 hours."

"We obviously have to go on and make a decision on who comes in and what role we sort of see that playing out in Christchurch."

"[Wagner's] had a great reception here over the last week where he got a couple of moments on the field and obviously he's been a fan favorite for a long time."
