Hammer springs quake

A magnitude 7.5 earthquake hit near Hammer Springs, and was widely felt in both the South and North Islands.

The Pakistan cricket team is in New Zealand. The team, which was in a Nelson hotel at the time of the quake, is OK but a bit shaken.

Pakistan management say their cricketers are fine after a "scary" overnight earthquake and are expecting to fly to Christchurch as scheduled on Monday afternoon.

Wellington's Basin Reserve is being inspected by officials, with a strong likelihood the four-day Plunket Shield match between Wellington and Central Districts, scheduled to start at 10.30am, will be delayed or postponed

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. ... When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs.
