  1. WICKET

    Neesham run out 58 (NZ 383-9)

    Oh no!

    Short ball from Starc and Neesham doesn't get hold of it, the ball pops up into the deep legside field. Labuschagne takes it and rattles in the throw for Inglis to take out the stumps, the diving Neesham is well short.

    Lockie Ferguson is coming out for the final ball, six needed.

  2. NZ 382-8

    7 runs needed from 2 balls

    Into the leg side... cut off at the boundary again!

    Labuschagne might have fielded badly a few balls ago, but it's a great sideway left to cut off the boundary with his left hand.

    Brave fielding from Maxwell, especially having had a broken leg recently. That is commitment to winning this game.

  4. NZ 380-8

    9 runs needed from 3 balls

    Neesham drives down the ground - is that going to go for four... no!

    Maxwell sprawls and cuts it off, taking the ball on the roll. They run two.

    Great running from Trent Boult, never in doubt that was a two. Starc wanted that, but you don't want to run Boult out here.

  6. NZ 378-8

    11 runs needed from 4 balls

    Neesham pushes through for two quick runs into the leg side.

    Mitchell Starc bowling wides might cost Australia this game. New Zealand are now much more squarely in the hunt.

  8. NZ 376-8

    13 runs needed from 5 balls

    Five wides!

    Starc fires one down the leg side and it races away to the boundary. Starc hasn't had the best day.

    That could have been four extras, Labuschagne threw it in like a rocket.

  10. NZ 371-8

    18 runs needed from 5 balls

    Boult races through a single to bring Neesham back.

    Labuschagne hurls down the bowler's end, that could have flown anywhere!

  11. Post update

    Australia have had to bring a fielder in for a slower over-rate.

  12. How's stat?!

    This is the highest scoring match in World Cup history, currently on 378 runs.

    This is also the biggest second innings score in a World Cup match ever.

    It was there, it was in the slot, it was there to be hit and Neesham just hit that straight back into the bowler.

  14. NZ 370-8

    19 runs needed from 6 balls

    Two dot balls from Hazlewood - great recovery!

    A wide yorker that Neesham doesn't pick, before the New Zealand batter hits one into the pitch and can't take the run - Boult will be on strike for the final over.

  15. NZ 370-8

    19 runs needed from 8 balls

    Neesham pulls Hazlewood for four!

    That's his half century, and this is now the highest scoring match in World Cup history.

    In a game where New Zealand's net run rate could've taken a battering, New Zealand have mad a brilliant go of this.

  17. NZ 366-8

    23 runs needed from 9 runs

    Boult takes a single defending the short ball.

    Neesham then drives into the covers and takes two.

  18. NZ 360-8

    26 runs needed from 11 runs

    Oh, Trent, I was wrong to doubt you!

    Six down the ground - Labuschagne takes the catch on the boundary but he's stumbling into the rope as he does so.

    The next ball cannot be a dot. A dot here and the game is almost gone, when it has almost gone already.

  20. NZ 354-8

    32 runs needed from 12 runs

    Starc sends down a wide, before tucking up Neesham a little and he can only take a single from his pull shot.

    Boult faces the final ball and takes a single into the covers - surely you want to give Neesham the strike for the next over?
