Australia notches 378-5 in 2nd ODI vs New Zealand

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) Opener David Warner scored a run-a-ball century - 119 from 115 deliveries - to pace Australia to an imposing total of 378-5 after being sent into bat in the second one-day international against New Zealand on Tuesday.

Some pre-toss rain induced New Zealand captain Kane Williamson to bowl first despite the fact that the small Manuka Oval had been kind to teams batting first in the past five ODIs at the ground - 348, 411, 372, 267 and 329 runs had been put on the board.

Australia captain Steve Smith, who scored 164 runs to lead Australia to a 68-run win in Sydney on Sunday in the first match of the three-match series, scored 72 on Tuesday.

New Zealand bowlers Matt Henry, Trent Boult, Colin de Grandhomme and Jimmy Neesham gave up more than seven runs per over.

The third match is scheduled for Melbourne on Friday.
