New Zealand's 15-over score of 46-2 is the lowest of the tournament so far. Of the 16 overs so far, 12 have gone for two runs or fewer.

The dot ball count is now up to 73.

The players and umpires are 'taking on fluids' as they say these days - or 'having a drink' as it is also known.

Jason Behrendorff keeps it tight until Ross Taylor edges the last ball of the over into his hip and off for a single.

Target 244

The NZ skipper edges Lyon, Carey cannot take it and the ball deflects to Steve Smith at slip - but he spills it as well!

Can Williamson punish that mistake?

Excellent cricket all round - Taylor sweeps Lyon powerfully towards the boundary, but Marcus Stoinis dives in to claim and throw back to Carey in one movement, and keep it down to a single.

The pitch is doing a bit - that Guptill wicket saw the ball keep low, then Taylor was fending off a lifter, and Lyon is getting some turn.

What can Taylor and Williamson make of it?

That wicket was built by pressure. It is not the easiest wicket to bat on. Ross Taylor brings so much experience to this tournament and is due some runs. This partnership is the key to this chase.

Replays show it was umpire's call - but it was mighty close. A good decision not to review

Ross Taylor strides out, but his first ball lifts, hits the glove and he gets a single as it loops out to gully.

Looking at the replay, it looks like it might have pitched outside leg stump. I am seriously surprised.

Nathan Lyon is on at the Nursery End in place of Pat Cummins.

The off-spinner's first over is a tidy one, just two from it.

It has been a tidy start from the Australian bowlers.

There hasn't been movement from any of the bowlers really. They have relied on line and length.

Here's Henry Nicholls' errant swish that saw him depart for eight.

Classic Williamson - up onto his toes to push Behrendorff past point up the hill for four.

The NZ skipper and Guptill then exchange a quick glance that is enough to tell them both that a quick single is on. Almost telepathic.

The 1981 underarm incident - when Australia captain Greg Chappell instructed his brother Trevor to bowl underarm (it was legal then) because New Zealand needed six to win off the final delivery - was one of the best things that happened to New Zealand cricket.

Two things happened that day - everyone focuses on the last ball but Greg Chappell got 90 odd that day and on 50-odd he hit one in the air off Lance Cairns and Martin Snedden made a lot of ground to take a diving swallow catch that was really well judged.

Greg didn't even look - he just put his back to the action and stayed at the crease at the non-striker's end because they'd taken a single.

Donald Weser, the umpire, went to consult with the other umpire and they decided between them that neither of them had actually turned and bothered to see whether the catch had been taken, they were too bothered making sure that the batsman didn't ground their bat short of the popping crease so it would have been a short run.

They couldn't give it out and that set our hierarchy on the ground going.

That feeling then started to fester away among us - then the last ball occurred which was the final nail in the coffin for many of us.

I remember John Bracewell, in particular. He was stood outside our changing room waiting for all the Australians as they went past and was challenging them for a street fight out back. He'd spread a big New Zealand flag out on the floor.

They apologised saying 'we're sorry about that, Greg has broken a moral code their today', 'a moral code' says Bracers, 'he doesn't even know the road code' and 'keep off our flag, no-one stands on our flag'.

They were actually tip-toeing around our flag, going around apologising to all our players.

From that moment on, New Zealand were galvanised every time we played them.

Cummins sends a rib-tickler towards Guptill that has the opener hopping about. Carey has half a thought of appealing for a catch after a leg side swish, but thinks better of it.

Against Australia it has always felt like you're playing an older brother that used to take you into his bedroom and give you a good old sharp punch.

Early on when our nation was just starting out politically, their politicians came over saying 'we'll include you as part of our nation if you like - just like Tasmania'.

Our reply was 'no we won't thank you very much'. Then they took to sport to bully us - and they did for a while.

In 1946 when they played a Test match against us and beat us quite comfortably, they decided they wouldn't play us again for 27 years.

That built up quite an indignity among the New Zealanders. We have often felt patronised.

Then, going to Australia and playing them... it felt was different - it was much more robust, brash and an aggressive sort of attitude about the game.

It does seem to be quiet at Lord's - but then not much was happening until that wicket...

That brings Kane Williamson to the crease, and the Black Caps' skipper races through for two behind square leg off his second delivery.

There had been just three runs from two overs prior to the wicket - Nicholls just ran out of patience.
