Inn Break
That ends the game. Australia stay on top, with 14 points while New Zealand are tied with India on 11 points. Sunday, June 30, 2019, sees two of the potential tournament favourites taking on other. Though, whether those tags are still relevant or not, is a different question. India and England clash at Edgbaston and the game begins at 10.30 am local (0930 GMT). ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
Victorious Australian captain, Aaron Finch, says that he is feeling very happy at the moment, to see his side recover from 92/5. Jokingly says that it is nice to see the middle order get some hit in the middle but then is serious enough to quickly point out that it was not the matter they intended to give them that. Praises Carey's knock and all his bowlers. On Australia's improved bowling performance, Finch says that in the past, they have been defensive in overs 20-40, where they have observed other teams take wickets. Of late, they have been doing that and it has resulted in a change of fortune. On being asked whose idea was it to give Steve Smith the ball, Aaron says that he looked up at the team's balcony and was getting some indications from Justin Langer and Ricky Ponting while Smith himself was keen to bowl.
New Zealand skipper, Kane Williamson, says that it was a challenging pitch to bat and as a bowler, if you hit the right areas, you could pick up wickets. Admits that they were in a position of strength for the first half but then credits the Aussies for rebuilding their innings. On the possibility of Trent Boult coming back earlier for his final spell, Williamson says that the match-ups kind of dictated the bowling changes. For instance, he says, that spin was proving to be a bigger threat and hence, Kane decided to continue with spin. Praises Carey for taking the game away from them. On his own team's batting, Williamson sportingly admits that Australia adapted better to this surface than the Kiwis. Stresses that the New Zealand batsmen struggled to get partnerships. Wants his side to forget this match quickly and move forward. On the final league game against England, Kane says that the playing surface will be key. Wants to take a day's break for now and then look ahead to the next game.
ALEX CAREY HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH. On Australia's poor start with the bat, Carey says it was not the start they wanted. Further adds he just wanted to spend time, assess conditions and bat as deep as possible. States the wicket was towards the slower side, there was turn and Kane Williamson was bowling well. Tells he though stuck to his strengths and it turned out to be a nice day for him. Credits Khawaja for the way he played and also praises Starc for the way he bowled. Informs he is enjoying batting at the moment and likes spending time in the middle. Further adds he is happy with how he is keeping as well. Ends by saying they go to Manchester now and that is also a big game and they would look to work on their weak areas.
What is wrong with New Zealand? Peaking too early? They were well on course to make it to the semi-final but two successive losses have pegged them back a touch. If England lose to India on Sunday, the Kiwis will confirm their semi-final berth automatically. They will be hoping that happens. Stay tuned for the presentation...
24 wickets in this World Cup for Mitchell Starc. Yards ahead of the next best, Lockie Ferguson, who has 17 scalps. He becomes the FIRST PLAYER WITH 3 5-FERS IN ODI WORLD CUPS. The bowling attack was just too good and guess India and Australia are the only two teams in this competition who believe that if they get anything over 200, they have the bowling attack to defend that.
Back-to-back losses for the Black Caps. However, in this game, they looked totally at sea while batting. They got off to a quick start but then surprisingly, fell back. Once they got defensive, Australia got an opening and they pounced. Starc, Behrendorff and Cummins then choked the Black Caps and Nathan Lyon did his bit.
A walk in the park for Australia. At the halfway mark, probably felt that 243 was 20 runs shy but the bowling just stepped up a notch. The Kiwis barely got going and and leave aside a brief half century stand between Taylor and Williamson, they were never in the chase.

Mitchell Starc To Mitchell Santner OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! A huge smile on Starc's face and why not? He has picked a fifer. Second in this World Cup and his 7th in ODIs. He bangs it short and down the leg side. Santner helps it on its way but does not keep it down and the ball ends up landing into the hands of Behrendorff at fine leg. AUSTRALIA WIN BY 86 RUNS!

Now then, not seen this happened often! The ball seems to have gone missing. However, they have found it but it seems like Warner and the security guard were searching for it at the wrong place. Warner though, takes some time out and eats some chips offered by one of the spectators. Finch looks at that and smiles.

Mitchell Starc To Lockie Ferguson OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Starc gets his fourth! This is trademark Mitchell Starc. He comes running in from around the wicket, bowls it slightly fuller on middle and off. It pitches and straightens. Also skids through. Ferguson is not only late in bringing his bat down but also plays down the wrong line. The furniture behind is disturbed. Can he take a fifer in this over? Also, he is on a hat-trick. We have already seen one today, will we see another?

Mitchell Starc To Ish Sodhi OUT!
OUT! Ball Tracker shows it to be clipping the top middle which means it is umpire's call and Sodhi has to continue walking. He does not take the review with him though. This is slightly fuller and it is fast, angling into middle from around the wicket. Sodhi looks to defend but misses to get hit on the front pad. An appeal follows and the umpire raises the finger. Sodhi walks upto his partner and reviews just in the nick of time. Replays roll in and they show the on-field call is the right one. The extra ball works for Australia. Starc gets his third. The defending champions two wickets away now.
A review taken in the nick of time! Ish Sodhi has been adjudged LBW to Starc. He has a discussion with Santner and then takes the review. No inside edge while Ball Tracker shows it to be clipping the top of middle stump. Good bye, Ish.

Mitchell Starc To Tom Latham OUT!
OUT! Caught! Steve Smith, you beauty! Boy, he has plucked out an absolute blinder here. Full and on the pads, Latham flicks it uppishly. For a second, it seems like the ball is travelling to the mid-wicket fence. But there is someone else also travelling. In fact, he is flying. Superman Steve Peter Devereux Smith. He flings himself to his right at short mid-wicket and takes it one-handed. Starc runs to his left and hugs his former skipper. Next, Warner comes, beaming all along. Slowly, the entire team envelopes him. What a catch. Earlier in the day, when Smith was batting, Guptill had picked up a blinder. That time Smith was perplexed. Nature has given him a chance to get even.

Steve Smith To Colin de Grandhomme OUT!
OUT! Colin de Grandhomme holes out! With all due respect to Smith, out of all the quality bowlers Australia have in their ranks, it is Steve Smith who gets him. Masterstroke from Aaron Finch. A golden duck for de Grandhomme. Smith floats this up and lands it around off. Colin needs no sighters and he straightaway looks to clear the ropes. That is probably what he was sent out for but does not get the timing right. It goes down Khawaja's throat who makes no mistake at long off. The big-hitter is gone and New Zealand slip further.
Steve Smith is back again. 1-0-4-0 so far.

Pat Cummins To Ross Taylor OUT!
OUT! In the air... taken! Carey does not look confident under it, he though takes it in the end. End of Ross Taylor and New Zealand's chances of chasing this down have been dented big time. Taylor had to go for it, the pressure of the increasing run rate was getting to him. He shuffles across and aims for the shorter side, looking to slog this length delivery on middle. There is extra bounce and hence the top edge is induced. It goes up in the air towards the left of the keeper. Carey seems to have not judged it well but in the end, does manage to take it. Cummins gets his first and it is a big one. 126 needed in 110.

Good fielding again! This is angled across from the off pole. Latham looks to put bat on ball but it goes off the outer half towards cover where Warner dives to his right and saves a run.

Nathan Lyon To Ross Taylor
NOT OUT! Latham's dive has saved him. This is floated up on off, Taylor works it towards mid-wicket and wants a single. Latham obliges. Maxwell gets to the ball quickly and hits bull's eye at the striker's end. An appeal and it is taken upstairs. Replays show that Latham's dive ensures he made his ground.
Have Australia pulled off something brilliant or has Latham's dive saved him? An appeal for a run out has been taken upstairs. Looks close.

Mitchell Starc To Kane Williamson OUT!
OUT! Caught behind! Finch gets Starc back for a wicket and a wicket is what he gets. A big one at that. Kane Williamson. It is on a length outside off, Kane looks to guide it towards third man but ends up feathering it too fine. Simple catch for the keeper and Kane arches back, looking at the sky in disappointment. Australia breathe again. A rare flop show for Willy. The 55-run stand is broken and New Zealand need 147 from 146 balls.

Safe as a house. On middle, Kane flicks it through mid-wicket and calls for two again. He gets those comfortably but the throw is at the bowler's end. Starc tries to deflect the bails but Taylor is well in.

DRINKS! Australia will surely be the happier side of the movement. They have got the openers and not let New Zealand score freely too. In fact, the Kiwis are going at just 2.93 per over. Yes, that can be covered up but they need a partnership. They have their best two batters out there and a lot of hopes will be on them. Australia on the other hand, know they need to get rid of the two as soon as possible.

DROPPED! If there is one batsman you don't want to drop in this New Zealand side, it is Kane Williamson. Yes, it did take a deflection off the keeper but should have been taken. This is tossed up outside off. Williamson looks to hit it through cover which is against the turn. The ball goes off the outside edge, hits the glove of Carey and then goes towards Smith at first slip. He is taken aback. The ball hits him on the chest and falls onto the ground.

OUT! LBW! Jason Behrendorff gets another! He is making a name for himself in this World Cup. Once again, the ball coming back in causes problems for Guptill. It is fuller and around middle, tails back in. Guptill looks to drive but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal and the umpire raises his finger after giving it a thought. Guptill straightaway starts walking. He could have probably taken a review there as it seemed to be going down leg. Replays still not shown though and Australia won't care. An uncharacteristic innings from MG comes to an end. He scored 20 from 43 balls. Australia on top at the moment. 202 needed in 221 balls. Hawk Eye though confirms, it would not have mattered had Guptill reviewed as it shows to be clipping leg pole.

Williamson is off the mark! Good running! This is on middle, KW works it with soft hands through backward square leg. The weight is perfect on the shot and hence, the batters take two.

Good length and just outside off, this is left alone.
Kane Williamson walks out to bat. He has been brilliant in the tournament so far and his team needs another good innings from him here.

Jason Behrendorff To Henry Nicholls OUT!
OUT! Caught down the leg side! Nicholls should be very, very disappointed with himself. That is probably the worst ball you could get out too, also one of the rare bad balls Australia have bowled today. It is short and down the leg side. Nicholls looks to pull but the ball hits the glove and goes into Carey's mitts. He appeals, the umpire looks at the square leg umpire and then raises his finger. Australia have got the reward for the tight bowling. Nicholls' comeback in the team is not a good one. Jason Behrendorff begins from where he left off in his last game. 215 more needed in 244.

Jason Behrendorff To Henry Nicholls
That is a jaffa! Just how do you play those? This is angled into the off pole, pitches and then moves away sharply. Nicholls does nothing wrong in playing the original trajectory but is beaten by the away movement.

And the change of ends almost worked! He gets the ball to swing also. The line is a little too straight, it is around middle and then tailing back in. Guptill looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. A huge shout but the umpire turns it down. Looked close. Hawk Eye shows it would have clipped the leg pole.
Jason Behrendorff is back! Change of ends for him.

Jason Behrendorff to start proceedings for Australia with the first new ball. He was brilliant in his last game and Australia need him to step up here. Here we go...
