Austin, 23, of Broadwater Avenue, pleaded not guilty to murder in December. His trial began on March 1 and is expected to conclude on Friday.
It is alleged he fatally stabbed Mr Wise during an altercation near Mowbray Place, Fleetwood, on June 24. Emergency services were called at 8.05am to the junction of Laidleys Walk and Macbeth Road, where they found the victim, a dad of one, with a suspected stab wound.
He was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital where he later died.
Post-mortem tests gave the cause of death as a single stab wound to the neck.
The trial continues.
