7.42pm: The definitive innings of two halves, but the Kane Train has got NZ to a score - the highest total in a men's T20WC final, in fact. From 57 for 1 after 10, they piled on 115 during the second half. Kane Williamson's 85 from 48 was a masterclass, but needed a slice of luck, having been dropped on 21. Will Australia live to rue that moment in the match? We'll see soon enough. The magic number batting first here was said to be 180, so NZ are just short of that - but this is a decent tally in a final. Sid will be here to rev up Australia's chase in a mo
Here's Glenn Phillips: "Bit slow, if you put it into the wicket with spin on it it gets hold, but the way Noss [Williamson] played was unbelievable. It was about going about every over as we thought necessary, Zampa bowled some good overs, but the way Noss took Starc down was unbelievable and turned the match for us a little bit. [Enough?] In finals cricket you never know, but we'll stick to our plans and keep it simple."
"Starc equalize the fastest 50 in this tournament along with Rahul and Malik," snickers Deep
Starc is sat on the ground inspecting his studs, looks like he needs another pair of boots running out
Starc to finish, three overs for 50 so far. Slight delay while umpire Kettleborough has a new ball-counter run out
