The Black Caps have named an unchanged 12 for the second test against Australia.

The second test starts in Wellington at the Basin Reserve on Friday.

Team: Stephen Fleming (capt), Lou Vincent, Nathan Astle, Craig Cumming, Craig McMillan, Hamish Marshall, Brendon McCullum, Iain O'Brien, Daniel Vettori, James Franklin, Chris Martin, Paul Wiseman.
