In the Kiwi's first test win against Australia in 19 years, Betfair punters wagered over $1.5 million on Australia at $1.10 and less.

But it was day four where the markets shifted like quicksand, see-sawing dramatically right up until the final ball:

7 - Lyon LBW decision reviewed

• Betfair punters traded $102,000 on Australia to win the test at odds of $1.02

• Over $1.5m AUD was traded on Australia to win at odds of $1.10 or less.

• New Zealand was backed at a top price of $42 to win the test at 11.15am this morning (day four)
