Matt Henry to David Warner, FOUR! Wonderful timing from Warner to get off the mark! Length ball, outside off and skidding off the surface. Warner opens the face of the bat and guides it through point for a boundary.

Trent Boult to Aaron Finch, OUT! LBW! A string of low scores continues for Aaron Finch as he departs early again. Trent Boult gets the better of Aaron Finch yet again who keeps on struggling against the left-arm pacers. This is on a length and around middle and off, shaping back in. Finch, who is standing well ahead of the crease to negate the movement, leans a bit as he looks to play in front of his pads and onto the leg side but misses and gets hit on the front pad. A huge appeal for LBW and the umpire is quick to raise his dreaded finger. Aaron Finch reviews it! Hot Spot doesn't show anything while the Snicko shows no bat. The Ball Tracking shows three reds and Finch has to make his way back.

Matt Henry to David Warner, FOUR! Good shot! Overpitched, outside off. Warner gets low and smashes it straight past mid off for a boundary.

4.3
Trent Boult to Steven Smith, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Trent Boult is best in the business with the new ball and he has two wickets now. Smith's struggle comes to an end! Boult serves a length ball, outside off, the ball lands and moves back in a bit late. Smith tries to drive away from the body but manages an inside edge and the stumps are disturbed. Australia are rocked early by the Kiwi pacer. That's one shot that Smudge will look back in regret. Very loose.

Matt Henry to David Warner, SIX! Counter-punch from Warner! This is full and on the pads. Warner whips it all the way over mid-wicket for a biggie.

Trent Boult to Marnus Labuschagne, OUT! LBW! Trent Boult gets another one! He is spitting fire right now! Just brilliant from the Kiwi! Boult with his orthodox delivery! An inswinging length ball, around off. Marnus Labuschagne gets on the back foot as he looks to defend but misses and gets rapped first on the front pad and then on the second. A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Marnus has a resigned look on his face, Warner tries to have a word with him but Labuschagne is certain that he's plumb in front. He walks back without taking the DRS and the Ball Tracking confirms that it's a good decision from Marnus. Three reds. Not a return to the ODI team he was hoping for.

7.2
Matt Henry to David Warner, OUT! TAKEN! David Warner places it straight into the hands of Michael Bracewell! Australia are in a mood to recreate what they did in the last match against Zimbabwe! Coming to the delivery - short of a length and on middle. Warner pulls it flat and hard. It comes off the middle but flies straight to Michael Bracewell at deep square leg. The only batter who looked in control during his stay at the crease goes now and Australia are four down.

Trent Boult to Alex Carey, FOUR! Releases some pressure! Too full and Carey makes the most of it. He drives it past mid on for four.

11.6
Matt Henry to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! STUMPS SHATTERED! Matt Henry roars in delight and Australia are now five down. Straightness is his signature, says the on-air commentator, and he reaps reward due to that quality. The speedster keeps his line on and around off and serves it on a shortish length at 137.2 kph. The ball lands and jags back in to breach Stoinis' back foot defense. It sneaks through and sends the bails flying. This has been yet another dismal display with the bat from the Kangaroos.

Michael Bracewell to Alex Carey, FOUR! Off the edge and this boundary has come against the run of play. Short in length and outside off, Carey rocks back to cut but the ball takes the outside edge and runs past short third man for a boundary.

Lockie Ferguson to Cameron Green, FOUR! Lucky boundary! Australia need that luck at this moment. Lockie Ferguson bends his back and digs it in short around off at 147.9 clicks, Cameron Green goes on his toes and tries to push it through the line but it takes a thick inside edge, beats the stumps and races away to the fence at fine leg.

Michael Bracewell to Cameron Green, SIX! Smacked! The big man flexes his muscles. Michael Bracewell serves it short and around off, Cameron Green uses the depth of the crease, drops his weight on the back leg and pulls it thunderously in front of square on the leg side for a maximum.

Lockie Ferguson to Alex Carey, EDGY FOUR! Another streaky boundary for Australia and they have the luck on their side at the moment. Lockie Ferguson serves it full and fast, outside off at 148.5 kph, Alex Carey leans forward to drive but gets a big inside edge. It misses the stumps by a whisker and hurries past the right side of the keeper for a boundary.

Matt Henry to Alex Carey, FOUR! Crunching shot! This pitch has eased out now and the soft balls are not doing much. Fuller in length, around leg, Carey whips it past the diving mid-wicket fielder for a boundary.

Mitchell Santner to Alex Carey, FOUR! Wow, what a fluent shot! Floated and full, around off, Alex Carey shows the long extension of his arms and lofts it cleanly over mid off for a boundary. Classy.

Matt Henry to Cameron Green, FOUR! Thumped! Back of a length, around off, Cameron Green rocks back and powers it over mid-wicket for a boundary. This is now the best sixth-wicket partnership in ODIs for Australia against New Zealand, overtaking the record set by Michael Clarke and Michael Hussey (136).

Lockie Ferguson to Cameron Green, FOUR! Superbly played! Lockie Ferguson pitches it up and around off, and Cameron Green doesn't try to hit it too hard. He just shows the full face of his bat and times his lofted shot over the bowler's head for a glorious boundary. 42 needed more.

39.1
Lockie Ferguson to Alex Carey, OUT! CAUGHT! Against the run of play, New Zealand have a wicket. The 158-run stand has been broken but is it too late for the Kiwis? 31 needed more off 65 balls. Coming to the delivery, it's short and outside off, Alex Carey stays back and tries to pull it over the infield on the leg side but ends up hitting it straight into the hands of Matt Henry at wide mid on. Carey is clearly disappointed to not finish the chase. He departs to a standing ovation from the crowd.

40.4
Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! Maxwell holes out! It appeared to be a clean shot, would have been a biggie on any other ground but here, he's caught near the fence. On a length and around middle and leg. Maxwell whips it away and hits it high in the air towards deep square leg. James Neesham runs to his right near the fence and takes a sharp catch. This game is not over yet.

41.1
Lockie Ferguson to Mitchell Starc, OUT! Australia are 8 down and this game is heading to a close finish now. 26 needed off 53 balls. Back of a length, around leg at 144.8 kph, Starc tries to fend it away but he does so uppishly towards square leg where Daryl Mitchell takes a simple catch. New Zealand have a sniff here!

Mitchell Santner to Adam Zampa, FOUR! Zampa showing his batting skills here! What a shot from Australia's number 10. Tossed up, around off. Zampa slog-sweeps it to deep mid-wicket and the ball bounces right in front of the ropes. Four runs needed now.
