  1. It's not a no-ball.

  2. Jeremy Coney
    Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Was it too leg side, that's the thing?

  3. Australia review

    GOT HIM! Surely?!

    This looked plumb lbw on the hat-trick ball.

    Jason Behrendorff reviews.

  4. Gotta be a yorker? The crowd is on Boult's side. Here we go...

  5. Jason Behrendorff will face the hat-trick ball...

  6. Jeremy Coney
    Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Again a very full ball, giving it every chance to reverse. The pitch is quite rough, maybe the ball is getting excoriated and gripping in the air.

    WICKET

    Starc b Boult 0 (Aus 243-8)

    Gone first ball! Mitchell Starc spends more time walking to the middle than standing at the crease. He is beaten by a swinging yorker. Lovely.

    Hat-trick anyone?

  8. Jeremy Coney
    Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    A very full ball, he wanted to go leg side so tippy--toed across his stumps. It was a very full ball and beat the stroke.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Khawaja b Boult 88 (Aus 243-7)

    Bowled! Khawaja's go-to plan has been to step across and heave to leg. He tries again but is bowled by a yorker around his legs.

    He has played an important innings for the Aussies from number three, holding things together. He goes for 88 from 129.

  10. Aus 243-6

    New Zealand are protecting the boundaries. Cummins nabs a single.

  11. Aus 242-6

    Just another single for Khawaja. It doesn't look like he'll scrap to three figures.

  12. Trent Boult will bowl the final over.

  13. Aus 241-6

    Well...

    The pitch has been causing problems so if you're a bowler you've gotta use it. Don't bowl a full toss! Pat Cummins swats it away.

    A positive punch of the gloves from the Aussies. They like that.

  14. Aus 237-6

    Australia can't find the boundary. Only Alex Carey has really managed it today.

  15. Aus 234-6

    Thanks for following, Joe! My colleague Jack Skelton, a regular live-texter on these pages, is there on a well-earned weekend off. If you hear someone ranting about Ian Bell, that'll be him.

    Ferguson beats Khawaja with a bouncer as the batsman attempts a ramp.

    Currently enjoying the sun, songs and ice cream at Glastonbury. What more could Simon Mann want?!? Get yourself down here tomorrow.

    Joe, live from Glastonbury but actually from Liverpool

  17. Aus 233-6

    Lockie Ferguson will bowl the penultimate over.

    He goes fast and full. Khawaja takes one.

  18. Jeremy Coney
    Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    That's a reasonable over from Boult - you can live with eight from the over.

    It looks like 250, which looks like the absolute outside of what New Zealand can achieve.

  19. Aus 232-6

    Pat Cummins ends the over by keeping things ticking with a well-run two. Australia will be delighted to have got this many from 92-5.

  20. Aus 230-6

    Short ball... Missed.

    Full ball... flicked for one.

    Decent bowling from Trent Boult but is this too late for New Zealand. Have they let this one get away?
