    "This is Australia's lowest total batting first in a World Cup match. The previous lowest was 159-9 in 60 overs v England at Lord's in 1979 (Geoffrey Boycott 2-15).

    "Brad Haddin and Pat Cummins's stand of 45 is Australia's highest World Cup 10th-wicket partnership, beating the 41 added by Jeff Thomson & Dennis Lillee against West Indies in the final at Lord's in 1975."

    The interval is due to come in 50 minutes. Can New Zealand reach their target before the break to rub it in even more?

    Australia's total of 151 is their joint-second lowest score in World Cup matches.

    Their lowest came in 1983 when they were dismissed by India for 129 at Chelmsford. But their effort today matches the 151 they scored against West Indies at Headingley, also in 1983.

    New Zealand's Daniel Vettori, who took 2-41 from 10 overs: "After the start that Australia got, to fight back was amazing.

    "The noise was fascinating - that one over from Trent where he got a couple of wickets got everyone involved. I don't think I've heard anything so loud since I've been in New Zealand.

    "It's going to be a fun chase and a lot of fun for the crowd."

    "Haddin was out-thought - he got done by a slower ball. But you can't blame him for that. He did really well."

    "151 all out - in their wildest dreams before this game New Zealand wouldn't have thought that."

    He picks out substitute fielder Tom Latham at short third man and Australia's innings is over. New Zealand need 152 to win this one.

    We asked if Anderson could make the difference and he does. He pitches it shorter than the previous ball, which was hit for six, Haddin went through the shot a bit early and got a thick edge.

  9. Aus 145-9 (Haddin 37, Cummins 7)published at 03:30 Greenwich Mean Time 28 February 2015

    This partnership is now up to the eighth highest 10th-wicket partnership in World Cups. Every run for Australia is so crucial. Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc and the rest of the Aussie attack are going to become more hopeful for every run added.

    New Zealand's Martin Guptill saves a four with a one-handed stop. The crowd cheer loudly thinking he has caught it, but Pat Cummins has played it into the ground first. The ball is now thrown to Corey Anderson. Can he claim the last wicket?

    Pat Cummins gets his first boundary. A fullish delivery on middle and leg and he drives it to beat mid on for four. This last-wicket pairing have now put on 38 runs, to frustrate the hosts.

    Jack Elliot:, external I can see why the ICC want to reduce the World Cup to 10 teams, this match has been so one-sided.

    SkillsyOz:, external Australia creatively stifling Brendan McCullum's chance of making a ton by being all out for not a hell of a lot!

  16. Aus 140-9 (Haddin 36, Cummins 3)published at 03:18 Greenwich Mean Time 28 February 2015

    Not many Australians deserve credit for their performance today, but Brad Haddin has batted intelligently to keep the strike as much as possible, while also slowly giving his bowlers a decent target to defend. The last ball of the over goes for four, despite Martin Guptill's desperate dive.

    David Wallace in Spain: NZ would do well to remember Ashton Agar.

    For those who don't remember, Australia's Agar broke the record for a Test number 11 by making 98 against England in the first Ashes Test at Trent Bridge in 2013.

    Brad Haddin is riding his luck a bit and the Australia innings is nearly over as he goes airborne, but Martin Guptill, scampering back from backward point, cannot get there in time. It came after Haddin had earlier cut a delivery over short third man for four.

  20. Aus 129-9 (Haddin 25, Cummins 3)published at 03:09 Greenwich Mean Time 28 February 2015

    Australia need all the help they can get. So they are delighted when the ball is thrown in by a fielder and bounces off the edge of the pitch and goes for an overthrow. That is the only change to the score in the 28th over.
