- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 Right at the base of off and the stumps are left in a mess! That's the wicket they were searching for. Yorker on off, he charges down, but the ball sneaks below his bat and the Australians are elated. Allen's cameo comes to an end but what a start he has provided NZ. 56/112.6 Zampa has his man. The finger goes up. Williamson chats with Conway and belatedly calls for a review of the on-field out decision. This looks pretty adjacent, however. Too full for the sweep or rather the reverse-sweep. Dips in front of his boot and strikes him low on the front pad in front of middle. Was there some bat involved? Nope. Ultra Edge detects nothing. The tracker returns three reds and Williamson has to go for a run--ball 23. Zampa has got the better of the NZ skipper once again 125/215.6 Hazlewood has bounced out Phillips. He was looking to back away and crash another one down the ground. But Hazlewood pounds it into the middle of deck gets it to kick up towards GP's throat. He flaps a top edge in the air. Hazlewood runs forward and snags the return catch 152/3Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL200/3 (20 Overs, RR: 10)Fall of wickets: 1-56 (Finn Allen, 4.1 ov), 2-125 (Kane Williamson, 12.6 ov), 3-152 (Glenn Phillips, 15.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 Strikes first ball! Oh, dear that's so unlucky. Short of a good length around the leg stump. He looks to swipe that away and gets a thick inside-edge onto his thigh pad. The ball then lobs up, hits the back of his bat and goes onto dislodge the bails. Warner is filthy with himself. Throws his head back but New Zealand are not going to mind one bit! 5/13.6 Finch looks for a similar shot to Marsh but does not get the elevation! Flighted outside off, he gives himself room, looking to loft over the covers. Does not get all of it and Williamson at extra cover pouces a good catch, reverse-cup. 30/24.5 Into the night sky, and Neesham takes a brilliant catch! Australia are crumbling. Another slower off-cutter from Southee outside off. Marsh looks to go straighter but is a touch early into the shot which causes him to drag it towards deep midwicket. Neesham steadies himself, and despite losing the ball in the lights catches it safely 34/313.3 Sodhi knocks over Maxwell. The asking rate keeps soaring. Maxwell goes for another big reverse-sweep, he dares to take it from the stumps. He misses it this time. Sodhi hits the top of leg stump and celebrates 89/78.2 Oh, my days what a catch! Superman, you play cricket? Floated outside off. He gives himself room and gets a good chunk of it over covers. He would have been anticipating at least a couple of runs there, if not more. But Phillips runs to his right from deep cover, leaps full-length, parallel to the ground, gets both hands to it and completes a catch to remember. Certainly a contender for catch of the tournament! 50/410.2 Six and out! Caught by Neesham at deep miwicket this time. The last ball was fuller, this is even shorter and turns away further from David. He slogs again but does not get enough elevation to clear Neesham. Santner's evening has gotten better 68/512.2 Edged and gone! On a length outside off, he looks for a drive on the up but that wasn't full enough. Wade can only get a thick edge with Conway completing a comfortable take. Ferguson is pumped up and why not! 82/617.1 Conway settles under this skier. Quite fittingly, he helps NZ seal the deal. NZ end their hoodoo in Australia. Possibly another cutter from Southee outside off, on a length. Cummins has a roundhouse swipe at it and can only top-edge it into the big gloves of Conway 111/1016.1 Boult castles Starc and gives him a taste of his own medicine. Nice and full, slanting into the left-hander, skidding into the left-hander. Starc can't touch it. Boult hits his target and takes NZ a step closer to victory 109/816.3 Boult knocks over Zampa too. Zampa shuffles outside leg, aims to spank it over extra-cover. Boult shows off his knuckle ball. Brings this back in and gets it to bounce to hit the top of leg stump 109/9Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL111 all out (17.1 Overs, RR: 6.46)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (David Warner, 1.1 ov), 2-30 (Aaron Finch, 3.6 ov), 3-34 (Mitchell Marsh, 4.5 ov), 4-50 (Marcus Stoinis, 8.2 ov), 5-68 (Tim David, 10.2 ov), 6-82 (Matthew Wade, 12.2 ov), 7-89 (Glenn Maxwell, 13.3 ov), 8-109 (Mitchell Starc, 16.1 ov), 9-109 (Adam Zampa, 16.3 ov), 10-111 (Pat Cummins, 17.1 ov)
