  1. NZ 47-1

    Shot!

    Kane Williamson takes two skips down the pitch to Mitchell Marsh and thwacks it over the covers for his first boundary.

    More of that intent please.

    I believe the collective noun for Mitchells is "a Walford".

    Mikko, Brighton.

  3. Another bowling change for Australia.

    Mitch Marsh comes on to replace Glenn Maxwell.

  4. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Both spinners have bowled at a good pace and a little bit back of a length, so it is difficult to come down to. New Zealand are trapped.

  5. NZ 40-1

    Guptill 22, Williamson 6

    Excellent start from Adam Zampa with just three singles coming from his first over.

    Kane Williamson only has six from 12 balls so far. Both he and Martin Guptill are finding scoring difficult on this pitch.

    It certainly doesn't seem to be coming onto the bat as well as it did in Thursday's Pakistan-Australia semi-final.

  6. Mitchell entertained briefly before he fell...

  7. Time for a bit of leg-spin.

    Adam Zampa, who is the leading wicket-taker in the Super 12 stage of the World Cup, is going to have a bowl.

  8. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    It's important these two not only get the singles but take that risk and get the odd boundary.

  9. NZ 37-1

    Glenn Maxwell is bowling round the wicket and firing the ball into the bodies of the New Zealand batters.

    He is looking to limit their ability to free their hands and it worked well in that over with just five singles coming off the over.

  10. More spin from Glenn Maxwell as soon as the powerplay finishes.

  11. From the press box

  12. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Aaron Finch is a very smart T20 captain. He watches a lot of cricket.

  13. NZ 32-1

    Guptill 17, Williamson 3

    Hmmm. Josh Hazlewood bowls two more dots to make it five in a row at the start of the over before Kane Williamson flicks, uppishly, over square leg for a couple.

    Powerplay over. New Zealand haven't got away from Australia. Aaron Finch's fields have been very good so far.

  14. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    I'm surprised Guptill hasn't used his feet, especially to Cummins. He uses the wicket and swings through the line of the ball.

  15. NZ 30-1

    Dot. Dot. Dot.

    The pressure is building on New Zealand.

  16. Josh Hazlewood will bowl a third successive over.

  17. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    We had seven dot balls in a row, including the one that took the wicket.

  18. NZ 30-1

    Aaron Finch rotates his bowlers in the powerplay and it is a tactic that has worked for them in this tournament so far.

    Pat Cummins is the latest to have a go and he starts well with just two singles from the over.

    There have been 18 dot balls so far. That is a lot.

    Anything short of super overs, balls ricocheting off bats and using an archaic way of deciding who won this final and I'll be very disappointed.

  20. NZ 28-1

    New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is the new batter and he punches his first ball into the covers, but it is straight to the fielder.

    Josh Hazlewood has figures of 1-9 from his two overs. A good comeback from being smacked round the park on Thursday.
