    It's an eerie silence in the ground. The crowd can sense Australia are in a bit of a pickle.

  2. Stuart Clark

    Tim David has a lot of pressure on his young shoulders.

  3. Aus 52-4

    Target 201

    Tim David, the man with two first names and two countries (he also played for Singapore) is the new batter.

    It's a big ask from here.

    That was a fantastic bit of fielding. Unbelievable.

  5. Stuart Clark
    Former Australia fast bowler on Test Match Special

    That's going to take some beating for catch of the World Cup. Millimetres off the ground. The golden night for New Zealand continues.

    Stoinis c Phillips b Santner 7 (Aus 50-4)

    Whadda catch!

    You won't see many better than this at the World Cup. Glenn Phillips has flown through the air to hang on to Marcus Stoinis. Deep cover, running round to his right, throwing himself full length and holding on in both hands.

    Air Phillips.

  7. Andrew Moore
    BBC Test Match Special

    I'd say the run rate at 12 and a half is comfortably uncomfortable.

  8. Aus 50-3

    Target 201

    More spin from the Black Caps, this time leggie Ish Sodhi. Maxwell decides enough is enough and reverse-hacks to cover for four. That's the first boundary since the second ball of the fifth over.

    The worm shows Australia are 31 runs behind New Zealand. Australia are 50 for 3 after 8 overs. At the same stage New Zealand were 81 for 1.

    Matt Carver: So Australia failed at chasing in three of three games against England before this World Cup then chase in the first game? Seems a bit of a silly decision now.

  10. Aus 41-3

    Target 201

    Australia are going nowhere here. Santner has burgled another over. The required rate is above 12. The win predictor has got the Kiwis at 97%.

    I don't always trust the win predictor, by the way. About as reliable as a weather forecast.

  11. Andrew Moore

    They're in trouble. They need a big partnership that bats for the next five or six overs to try and get some momentum.

  12. Aus 37-3

    Target 201

    If you need some amusement, have a look at how David Warner got bowled by Tim Southee.

  13. Aus 37-3

    Target 201

    Marcus Stoinis has got biceps like Christmas hams. Honestly, if he gave you a cuddle, you'd never want to be let go. The Aussies might need a hug after this. Lockie Ferguson, with his rockets, has bowled the last over of a powerplay that has belonged to the Kiwis.

  14. Aus 34-3

    Target 201

    Australia are miles behind N̶e̶w̶ ̶Z̶e̶a̶l̶a̶n̶d̶ Finn Allen on this graphic...

    worm shows Australia are 26 runs behind New Zealand. Australia are 34 for 3 after 5 overs. At the same stage New Zealand were 60 for 1.

  15. Stuart Clark
    Former Australia fast bowler on Test Match Special

    It's very hard to keep the momentum going. We just keep having new batters at the crease.

  16. Aus 34-3

    Target 201

    New Zealand would actually be very polite party crashers. They would probably knock on the door, bring their own booze and tidy up afterwards.

    Marcus Stoinis is the latest arrival.

  17. Stuart Clark
    Former Australia fast bowler on Test Match Special

    A good piece of fielding by Jimmy Neesham. Taking the ball right above the Grand Stand.

    Marsh c Neesham b Southee 16 (Aus 34-3)

    Big trouble now!

    Mitchell Marsh is on his way and Australia have lost three in the powerplay.

    A loft into the leg side is well held by Jimmy Neesham on the deep mid-wicket fence. It looked simple, but that would have got lost in the lights.

    New Zealand are crashing the party.

    Can we take a moment to appreciate New Zealand's kit? There's not enough grey knocking around in sport kits.

  20. Stuart Clark
    Former Australia fast bowler on Test Match Special

    The Australians really need Maxwell to stand up and deliver the innings they know he can.
