So New Zealand have got to 130 but Australia will be pretty happy with that effort in the field. By and large they kept control of the run rate throughout. Jonassen the leading wicket-taker and Wareham bowled very nicely. Vlaemick's return was rapid and good to see. I'll be back in a few minutes for the chase.

Schutt to Mackay, no run, now tries a scoop to the leg side and is given lbw...calls for the review. A full, straight delivery, but that's taken a massive bottom edge into the pad!

Schutt to Mackay, 4 byes, goes for the reverse sweep first ball! The ball beats everyone and scoots away for four byes so it's a boundary in an event
