  1. Aus 60-1

    Australia need 113 runs from 72 balls.

    Hmm.

    Worm

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

    We were wondering how Mitch Marsh plays left-arm spin and there we go! It was pretty much a freebie for him.

  3. 6 runs

    Aus 57-1

    Shot!

    Mitch Marsh! He gets down on one knee and hoicks Mitchell Santner into the top tier of the stand.

  4. Double spin for New Zealand, with Mitchell Santner brought into the attack.

  5. If it goes to a super over then I may resign.

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

    I would say that Australia have just got their noses ahead at the moment.

    It could go to a super over. New Zealand wouldn't fancy that.

  7. Aus 50-1

    Need 123 from 78 alls

    David Warner is so brilliantly quick between the wickets. He pushes hard to work two off Ish Sodhi.

    Tidy enough from Sodhi first up, with just seven coming from the over.

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

    Always. You want to take wickets in the middle overs and not let a side get away from you.

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

    You just think the spinners will be key here.

  10. Spin, in the form of Ish Sodhi.

  12. Aus 43-1

    Need 130 from 84 balls

    That's a much better over from Adam Milne, conceeding just one run and a couple of byes.

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

    Yeah, but with David Warner...

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

    I just wondered with Mitch Marsh at the crease if Kane Williamson should have given Mitchell Santner, the left-arm spinner, a bowl.

  15. Aus 42-1

    Adam Milne serves up a couple of leg byes, before David Warner whips his head out of the way of a well aimed bouncer.

  16. Still, one bright spot for New Zealand fans - Daryl Mitchell took a superb catch earlier to see the back of Aaron Finch.

  17. Aus 40-1

    Need 133 runs from 90 balls

    They're going to do it, aren't they?

    My pessimism is well at work here.

  18. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    That was not a good bit of bowling from Tim Southee. It was right in the slot.

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

    David Warner has been looking for that.

  20. 6 runs

    Aus 39-1

    Wallop!

    Into the big arc of David Warner, and he swings merrily from the hip to send the ball into the crowd.
