    Chris Green

    Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    There's that short boundary and there's that 190 strike-rate from the get-go for Neesham. Players are training to do this and these two will really look to push it until the end.

  2. NZ 168-3

    The very best of Jimmy Neesham.

    Sits back in his crease, waits perfectly for the ball and carves it over mid-wicket for six. Absolutely nailed it.

  3. NZ 161-3

    Stoinis pulls it back nicely, just singles coming from the rest of the over.

    Three overs to go, time for Conway and Jimmy Neesham to go big.

  4. Post update

    Devon Conway moves on to 77 from 49 balls. Here's how he reached his half-century with a six.

  5. NZ 156-3

    A glorious drive down the ground for four from Devon Conway puts the pressure on Marcus Stoinis first ball.

    That looked like it belonged in a Test match. Just lovely.

    The run map shows Devon Conway scored 76 with 2 sixes, 6 fours, 1 three, 7 twos, and 23 singles for New Zealand

    Josh Hazlewood celebrates dismissing Glenn Phillips

    Fantastic bowling from Hazlewood, he just backed his plan. Phillips was trying to create room but Hazlewood gets that extra bonce with his height and the ball went straight up.

  7. WICKET

    Phillips c & b Hazlewood 12 (NZ 152-3)

    A horrible slog across the line from Glenn Phillips gets a top edge and it plops up nicely for a simple catch for Josh Hazlewood.

    Hazlewood bangs it into the pitch, encouraging Phillips to pull, but it's not executed at all. But he had to go for it, with four overs left.

    Australia continue to wrestle back a bit of control.

    The change of bat works for Glenn Phillips. He gave himself room and just clubs it back past the bowler.

  9. NZ 149-2

    Glenn Phillips responds with a baseball-type heave over mid-off for four.

    Devon Conway hits four over mid-off
  10. Not out

    Could fit a bus through the gap between bat and ball.

    As you were.

  11. Australia review

    Australia think they've got Glenn Phillips caught behind. This is weird, there was barely an appeal from either the keeper or the bowler.

    I'm not holding out much hope.

    Former Australia fast bowler on Test Match Special

    It's really important in games like this that you don't lose momentum. New Zealand have got it at the moment and they need Conway to stay there, maybe knock it around for a few overs then go big the last couple.

    Chris Green

    Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Conway has been going through his gears nicely in this innings. Now they've got that platform built, he's starting to go and hits that powerfully down the ground.

  14. NZ 144-2

    Devon Conway keeps going after Adam Zampa.

    He's almost stumped but gets his foot down just in time before Matthew Wade whips off the bails, but follows it up with a crunching shot down the ground for four.

    Zampa finishes with 1-39 from his four overs.

    Five overs to go. What can New Zealand get from here? And how can Australia stop them?

    That's a brilliant shot. Not a bad ball from Cummins but he's punished through the covers.

    Matt Clinch

    BBC Test Match Special

    That races down to the rope for four. Nothing more than a push through extra cover. Phillips is off the mark with a boundary.

  17. NZ 134-2

    The most exquisite timing from Glenn Phillips brings him four past extra cover, despite Cummins having a fielder placed out there.

    This could be exciting if Phillips gets into his groove. He is very unconventional but always entertaining.

    SCG

    We've gone through all the motions and it's hitting between middle and off stump. Adam Zampa makes the important breakthrough. That brings Glenn Phillips to the middle.

  19. WICKET

    Williamson lbw b Zampa 23 (NZ 125-2)

    Crashing into the stumps.

    Adam Zampa responds well as the batters were targeting him, and New Zealand's captain has to go.

    That might not be the worst result for New Zealand with seven overs to go. Get some big hitters in - Williamson's run-a-ball 23 was slowing things down a bit.

    I thought Williamson was getting a send-off and that's why he stopped. But no, those days are done. He's got two reviews so he might as well use one.
