Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special
Williamson did the hard work; he slid across. He just couldn't quite get the angle.

BBC Test Match SpecialIf he had struck, that would have been the end of Finch. That was a wonderful piece of fielding.
Aus 100-3published at 13 overs
Need 51 more to win
Maxwell drives away and Southee puts in an excellent dive, assisted by the rain-flecked surface, to save the boundary and concede just two.
Boult then produces an immaculate cross-seam yorker. Skills. A cross-bat heave from Maxwell then brings one.
Another yorker and Finch has to scurry the single - oof, chance! Williamson does brilliantly to slide and sling off the throw in one movement but misses the stumps. Finch was miles gone if it had it.
A terrific diving stop from De Grandhomme at square leg follows. That's the 100 up for Australia but New Zealand are bowling and fielding superbly out there.
Aus 95-3published at 12 overs
Maxwell 8, Finch 5
Munro trundles away but the line and length are tight enough to keep Maxwell and Finch to just seven off the over.
The Kiwis have dragged themselves back into this admirably. They need both of these batsmen out quickly though.
Trent Boult is coming back on to try and do just that.

Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match SpecialThat was a big shot from Maxwell - he went for a maximum. Well done to Ross Taylor - he pegged it and threw absolutely everything at it.

Target 151
Chance! Glenn Maxwell completely miscues a hoik and Ross Taylor turns and sprints after it but the ball just evades his dive.
New man Aaron Finch gets off the mark with a single before picking up two through mid-wicket. Top over from Santner.

BBC Test Match SpecialCould we see something special here from New Zealand?
WICKETpublished at 10.3 overs
Agar st Seifert b Santner 2 (Aus 84-3)
The frankly bizarre decision to send out Agar at number three is quickly proven to be folly as he was duly out of his ground and stumped playing an ugly heave.
Umpire reviewpublished at 10.3 overs
Ashton Agar takes a right old agricultural heave at Mitch Santner, misses and Tim Seifert takes off the bails.
The umpire sends it upstairs but Agar looked to be a fair way out.

Aus 83-2published at 10 overs
Target 151
Here is Glenn Maxwell in at four. Can New Zealand capitalise on two new batsmen at the crease to nip out a few more wickets?
Tremendous stuff from Sodhi, conceding just two off the first five balls.
Oof, unlucky. Agar tries to flay the last away, misses it but the ball also just evades the stumps and Seifert to run away for four byes.

Ex-England batsman on Test Match SpecialIt was almost like Warner couldn't believe he'd missed it. That's a big wicket for Ish Sodhi and New Zealand.

Warner b Sodhi 25 (Aus 78-2)
Sodhi rips it past Warner's attempted cut shot and the ball flicks the top of off stump!
Hang on, Warner isn't walking. Does he think Seifert broke the bails with his gloves instead of the ball?
He's bowled you, mate! Warner finally does realise what's gone on and trudges off.

Target 151
Warner continues then and picks up another couple of Santner.
Chris Lynn will not be able to bat after that injury he picked up while fielding, but it feels a bit odd for the Aussies to send out Ashton Agar in Lynn's spot of three.
Glenn Maxwell anyone?

Sure enough, Warner kept his back foot back in his crease and he's not out.
