NZ vs AUS Live Cricket Score

6.4 OUT! TIMBER! Cleans him up! Ben Sears strikes and he is absolutely delighted about it. Why not? He was thumped for a biggie and a bundary off his first two balls and he comes back to get the big hitting Head. A welcome wicket for the Kiwis as these two were finding the boundaries at will. Full and straight, you miss, I hit. Head misses as he looks to clear mid-wicket and it hits the stumps. Actually, he did not miss, he got an inside edge onto the stumps. A good little innings though from Head. He has got his side off to a flier. 85/2

2.1 OUT! LBW! That looked close! Very full and around off, swings in. Smith seems to miss his clip and gets hit on the pads. Comes in very late. New Zealand will take it upstairs. UltraEdge shows pads first. Ball Tracking shows THREE REDS. Excellent review and superb delivery from Lockie Ferguson! Swings in very late to get caught inside the crease. 32/1

9.1 OUT! TAKEN! That dropped catch has not cost a lot and New Zealand fighting back now. Skipper gets skipper. This is fuller, slightly slower. Marsh looks to go over long on but is slightly early in the stroke. It goes off the toe-end and Boult at long on takes another catch. He does really well to hang on there, just ahead of the topes. 108/4

8.5 OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the fielder and it is a no show from the Big Show! Ben Sears, let me remind you, he went for 11 from the first three balls he has bowled but since then, has just conceded just the one run and taken two wickets in the next 8 deliveries. This is another massive wicket. This is fuller and on middle, Maxwell clears his front leg and thumps it down but straight to long on. This time the catch is taken. Wickets is the only way New Zealand can get back into the game. 104/3

10.1 OUT! GONE! Chapman takes it this time! Short in length and on off, Inglis looks to pull but edges it over to deep square leg. Mark Chapman runs in from deep, not easy again but does well to hold onto it. Short stuff and hard length deliveries are working. 115/5

14.2 OUT! TAKEN! David goes! Huge wicket for the Kiwis! A length ball, outside off. David hits it hard but it goes more off the upper half of the blade and to cover. Mitchell Santner runs to his left and takes the catch. Australia in a bit of trouble. 138/7

11.3 OUT! Another one goes! Mitchell Santner gets his second. This is short and outside off, maybe extra bounce as Wade goes for the pull but hits it straight up and Mitchell Santner doesn't even move from his place. Easy catch. 122/6

18.5 OUT! TAKEN! Cummins falls but these he has played a handy innings for his side. A slower one on middle, this is lofted down towards long on where the fielder takes an easy catch. 171/8

19.4 OUT! TAKEN! Lockie Ferguson has three. He has been brilliant. Fuller and on off, a slower one. Adam Zampa mistimes it towards mid off where it is taken easily. 174/9

19.5 OUT! TAKEN! Lockie Ferguson has four. Top, top spell from him and Australia have been bowled out for 174! This is full and outside off, Josh Hazlewood carves it towards deep point. Josh Clarkson takes an easy catch. 174/10

1 OUT! BOWLED! Chopped on! A length ball, outside off, no movement this time and Allen looks to punch with hard hands but bottom edges it back onto the stumps. Unlucky but Allen has to go. 6/1

3.1 OUT! TAKEN! That is a serious catch from Wade! Just superb! Short and wide of off. Will Young pulls but gets a top edge to square leg. Matthew Wade runs, keeps his eyes on it, dives and it just sticks into his gloves. Excellent catch. 14/2

5.3 OUT! DRAGS IT ON! Santner falls. His struggle comes to an end. Short and outside off. Santner looks to clear his front leg and pull but gets an inside edge onto the stumps. He really struggled to get going. This could be a blessing in disguise for the Kiwis. 26/3

13.3 OUT! TAKEN! That should be it! The main man goes.Floated, full and on middle, Invites Phillips to go big but just like other batters he mistimes and Tim David at long on takes the catch. Adam Zampa has been so good today. 83/7

6.3 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust. It is all falling apart too quickly for the Kiwis. Shorter and on middle, Chapman looks to pull. This goes more off the toe end and towards mid on. David takes it. 29/4

11.5 OUT! BOWLED! New Zealand lose half of their side now. Adam Zampa was looking for that leg pole, goes again but bowls it much quicker than the previous ball. Josh Clarkson fails to dig it out and it crashes the stumps. 74/5

12 OUT! GONE! Adam Zampa is on a Hat trick! This is full and wide outside off, was the googly. Adam Milne goes for a big drive but gets a thick inside edge and it crashes the stumps. Australia all over the Kiwis. 74/6

15.5 OUT! TAKEN! Zampa gets his revenge and his 4th. Tossed up outside off, this lands and spins away. Trent Boult looks to go over cover but this goes off the outside edge towards point and it is taken. 100/8

17 OUT! TIMBER! That is the end of the game as Conway won't be coming out to bat. On middle, Lockie Ferguson swings but misses and this hits the stumps. Australia win by 72 runs! 102/9
