Batting R B 4s 6s SR

Martin Guptill c Marcus Stoinis b Daniel Sams 97 50 6 8 194

14.4

Daniel Sams to Martin Guptill, OUT! Guptill holes out! Heartbreak for him! Conway remained on 99 in the last match and now Guptill falls on 97. What a knock though! He has repaid the faith shown in him by the selectors. Fuller and on off, Martin tries to nail it over long off but fails to find enough power on his shot. Stoinis makes no mistake near the rope and Guptill will have to depart.

Tim Seifert (W) c Aaron Finch b Kane Richardson 3 6 0 0 50

3.1

Kane Richardson to Tim Seifert, OUT! Soft dismissal! Kane strikes immediately. Serves a back of a length ball around off, it sits in the wicket and cramps the batsman for room, Seifert jumps and tries to punch it through the line. But he mistimes it in the air and it's a simple catch for Finch at covers.

Kane Williamson (C) b Adam Zampa 53 35 2 3 151.43

15.5

Adam Zampa to Kane Williamson, OUT! Drags it on! Zampa dishes out a well-disguised googly, it's around off and Williamson fails to pick it. He attempts to nudge it around but gets an inside edge onto the stumps. A vital breakthrough for Australia but New Zealand won't mind it too much at this stage. A fine knock by their skipper is over.

James Neesham not out 45 16 1 6 281.25

Glenn Phillips b Jhye Richardson 8 6 0 1 133.33

17.3

Jhye Richardson to Glenn Phillips, OUT! Bowled! Smartly bowled by Jhye. He kept on bowling wide outside off and then all of a sudden bowls it full and straight, in the line of the stumps. Phillips was frustrated with all his plays and misses and decides to invent a shot. Gets across for the paddle scoop but fails to connect. The ball though connects with the stumps and it's a big wicket for the Aussies as Glenn can get dangerous in these situations.

Devon Conway c Adam Zampa b Kane Richardson 2 3 0 0 66.67

18.4

Kane Richardson to Devon Conway, OUT! Conway is done quickly, a rare low score for him. Short and wide outside off, Devon flashes his bat at it and it flies off the outer half to deep backward point. Adam Zampa makes no mistake in the deep. Australia doing well in the end stages.

Mitchell Santner c Glenn Maxwell b Kane Richardson 0 1 0 0 0

18.6

Kane Richardson to Mitchell Santner, OUT! Santner goes first ball. Clever slower delivery, around off, Santner aims for a big shot but ends up towering it high in the air off the toe end of his bat. An easy catch for Maxwell at long on. Terrific over by Kane, 4 runs and two wickets off it. Just 10 runs in the last two overs.

Tim Southee run out (Matthew Wade / Daniel Sams) 6 3 1 0 200

19.5

Daniel Sams to Tim Southee, OUT! Run out! A short delivery wide outside off, Southee swings and misses. Neesham wants a bye and scoots to the other end. Wade has a shy at the striker's end but misses. Sams does well to back the throw and deflect it onto the stumps at his end. Southee is short.

Batting R B 4s 6s SR

Matthew Wade (W) c Kane Williamson b Tim Southee 24 15 3 1 160

3.3

Tim Southee to Matthew Wade, OUT! Caught at mid off! Southee serves a short of a length ball outside off, at 135 kph, Wade hangs back to slap it through the line and aims to clear the infield. But the ball sits up a bit onto him and he ends up handing a simple catch to Kane Williamson. 186 needed off 99 balls.

Aaron Finch (C) c Glenn Phillips b Ish Sodhi 12 14 1 0 85.71

7.6

Ish Sodhi to Aaron Finch, OUT! Sodhi strikes in his first over to dismiss the Aussie skipper. Smart bowling. The leggie kept on asking Finch to hit through the off side but he restrains. This time it's short and Finch decides to go across the line. Attempts for a big pull shot but fails to time it well. It goes high in the air and Glenn Phillips takes a tumbling catch at deep mid-wicket. Another flop show by Aaron. 150 needed off 72 balls.

Josh Philippe c Devon Conway b Mitchell Santner 45 32 2 3 140.63

12.3

Mitchell Santner to Josh Philippe, OUT! That is a simple catch to the fielder. A fine knock by Philippe is over. Santner has two now. Floated and full around off, Philippe leans into the drive and tries to go inside-out but fails to time it well. A simple catch for Conway at deep cover.

Glenn Maxwell c Ish Sodhi b Mitchell Santner 3 5 0 0 60

10.1

Mitchell Santner to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! No show from Big Show! Santner gets the wicket. Maxwell falls flat in the trap! Flighted and full around off, Maxwell nails his reverse sweep but cannot beat the brilliance of Sodhi at short third man. He times his jump to perfection and plucks it out of thin air. Disbelief on the face of Maxwell as he returns.

Marcus Stoinis c Tim Southee b James Neesham 78 37 7 5 210.81

19.5

James Neesham to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! It has gone sooooo high... SOUTHEE UNDER IT! The crowd has gone bonkers. Too full and on middle, it's in the slot, Stoinis tries to hammer it over the leg side but ends up skying it behind the bowler. Southee moves across to his left from long on and hangs onto the catch. Neesham has done it. Kane is the new batsman.

Ashton Agar c Devon Conway b Mitchell Santner 0 1 0 0 0

12.5

Mitchell Santner to Ashton Agar, OUT! The move to send Agar up the order backfires. Once again Santner and Conway combine to pick up a wicket. A short delivery around off, Agar camps back to pull but it comes off the bottom half of his bat and he hits it aerially to Conway at deep cover. Australia staring down!

Mitchell Marsh c Tim Seifert b Mitchell Santner 0 1 0 0 0

12.6

Mitchell Santner to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! Third wicket in the over and the wheels are coming off for Australia. Marsh has been strangled down the leg side. Santner delivers an arm ball around leg, Mitchell tries to flick but gets a faint tickle behind. Seifert shows great reflexes to catch it and Marsh walks. 6 runs and 3 wickets in Santner's last over of the spell and it has pushed Australia deep into a corner.

Daniel Sams c Glenn Phillips b James Neesham 41 15 2 4 273.33

19.1

James Neesham to Daniel Sams, OUT! It's a WICKET! Neesham, you lucky chap! The crowd goes bananas. Crucially, it's a dot ball. Full toss on middle, Sams tries to heave it over mid-wicket but finds the fielder near the fence. Glenn Phillips hangs on to the pressure catch. 15 needed off 5 balls. Stoinis is back on strike.
