NZ vs AUS Live Cricket Score

2.2 OUT! LBW! Boult draws first blood and Philippe goes back for a very low score. A very good delivery from Boult and the Kiwis are pumped. A pacy fuller ball on middle and leg, Philippe looks to tuck this one away but the pace is just too much for him to deal with. Gets rapped on the pad and up goes the Black Caps in appeal. The umpire agrees and raises his finger. 8/1

10 OUT! CAUGHT! Ish Sodhi gets the breakthrough and at an important stage too. These two were looking settled until now and this wicket does the Kiwis a world of good. Shorter and outside off, Finch backs away and looks to slam this one through point but does so uppishly. Mitchell Santner is the fielder there, who dives to his left and takes a good catch. 74/2

14.2 OUT! CAUGHT! The decision to bring on Boult by Kane Williamson has paid rich dividends for the Kiwis. Wade was looking set so far and the Aussies would have wanted him to continue but he perishes. A slower full ball on middle, Wade looks to flick but does so uppishly towards the deep mid-wicket region, where Martin Guptill takes the catch, diving forward. 103/4

10.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one falls for Australia and the Black Caps are doing really well to come back into this game. Maxwell goes back for a measly one run. Tossed up, around off, inviting Maxi to go for the sweep. He gets low and does so uppishly, towards the deep square leg region where Trent Boult settles under this one, and takes a very good catch. A nothing shot and Chapman gets his first wicket. 77/3

17.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Guptill gets another catch and Australia lose another. This was a freebie and it had to be dispatched but instead, he holes out. This one is outside off, Marcus Stoinis looks to muscle this one over the fielder at long off but does not quite time it well. An easy take for Martin Guptill in the deep. Ish gets his second of the game as well. 122/5

17.2 OUT! CAUGHT! An action replay of the previous dismissal and Australia lose their 6th wicket. Sodhi doing really well to close out his spell for the day on a bang. He goes for the full toss outside off again, Agar skips down and looks to slam this one over the deep mid-wicket region but again, with no proper timing on this one. Holes out to Martin Guptill again in the deep. 122/6

19.2 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Southee seemed to be missing the mark when he started the over, but he has found his mark here. He bowls a pacy yorker on middle, Marsh looks to play at this but he misses and the ball sneaks in under the bat. The ball does not miss though. You know the rest. 139/7

20 OUT! CAUGHT! Southee gets his second wicket! Full on middle, Jhye Richardson swings it over mid-wicket but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards the fielder where Glenn Phillips takes a comfortable catch. AUSTRALIA END WITH 142/8! 142/8

11.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Riley strikes but it might be too little, too late at this moment! Conway has already done the damage but he would have wanted to stay on longer. On a good length and around off, Conway swings his blade at, looking to go over the cover region but the ball takes the outside edge and flies to the deep point region, where Agar takes an easy catch. 37 needed in 49 balls. 106/1

14.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Guptill's brilliant innings comes to an end but the crowd is on their feet as they show their appreciation! He departs for 71 but he has done his job really well. Shortish and around off this time, Martin Guptill looks to pull this one to the leg side but the ball takes the top edge and flies towards the short fine leg region. Mitchell Marsh settles under this one and takes a nice, tumbling catch. 19 needed in 35 balls. 124/3

12 OUT! LBW! Two in two for Riley! A back of a length ball around off and middle, Williamson looks to flick this one to the leg side but he misses and gets hit on the pad. An appeal and the umpire raises the finger. Kane Williamson goes for the review straightaway. Ultra Edge shows nothing while Ball Tracker says it is umpire's call on the wickets and so, Williamson has to go back. The Black Caps retain their review though. 37 needed in 8 overs now. 106/2
