Something has got to give soon.
Latham does not look comfortable at all against the short ball. He gets in another tangle.

Certainly a lot cooler and more comfortable watching temperatures now for this crowd as the sun sets behind the Grand Stand.
Seems set up for a bit of a grand stand finish too potentially as Australia keep strangling this New Zealand innings.
Not many have left their seats to tear themselves away that’s for sure.
Good news for New Zealand fans! Mitch Starc is out of the attack.
Bad news! It's Pat Cummins replacing him.
Target 244
Just three from the over and that screw is getting turned tighter and tighter. Nathan Lyon has only conceded 14 runs from five overs.
137 needed from 126.

If he hadn't launched the dive, he would have been out.
Yep. Latham has made his ground. Brilliant fielding from Maxwell regardless.
A very good dive might have saved Tom Latham.
Direct hit. David Warner is celebrating. Tom Latham could be in trouble.
Target 244
It feels like the life is being sucked out of this game.
The required run-rate is 6.36, perfectly manageable. The problem is New Zealand have only managed 3.71 so far.
Four dots from Starc to Latham. Just how do you play him?
There'll be no more of this tonight from Kane Williamson...
Need 141 more runs to win
The Aussies are hunting in their bright yellow strip. Steve Smith throws his hands onto his head at slip when Latham leaves one to Lyon outside off.
Taylor then gropes forward, not playing cleanly. Alex Carey sprints to stop the single.
Pressure.
Ross Taylor will be crucial now.
He takes a single to edge his side to 100. The crowd cheer, trying to urge the Kiwis on.
Need another 146 runs to win
New batsman Tom Latham, who has hardly scored a run in the tournament, is greeted by a bouncer arrowed at the throat.
He does not play it convincingly at all. Better prepare yourself for a few more bouncers, Tom.

Starc does it again! Using the angle, he goes across Williamson and he has almost guided it from under his eyes straight to Carey.
Williamson c Carey b Starc 40 (NZ 97-3)
The dream crusher does it again.
Four balls into his new spell, Mitchell Starc removes New Zealand captain Kane Williamson. It's a poor shot from Williamson. He gropes with no foot movement, trying to guide the ball to third man, and feathers an edge to the keeper.
But I have bad news for Black Caps' fans. Mitchell Starc is back. An important phase. He has crushed plenty of dreams on this ground.
Thanks Tim.
Good to see some intent from Williamson in the last few overs.
New Zealand need 152 runs to win from 150 balls. Certainly do-able.
