NZ vs AUS Live Cricket Score

4.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Big, big wicket for Australia. The in-form Guptill is walking back early and Billy Stanlake strikes. A short ball outside off, Guptill makes room and tries to slap it over mid off. It goes off the toe end and straight to the Aussie skipper, Warner who takes it and pumps his fist. The Australians are delighted and they needed this wicket as New Zealand were off to a flier. 48/1

5.2 OUT! Richardson gets his revenge! Two wickets in quick succession for Australia. Another slower ball outside off, Munro once again uses his feet but is deceived completely. He mistimes it straight up in the air towards mid on, where Agar, settles himself under it and pouches it. Both the openers are back in the hut for New Zealand and Munro, once again after a start, perishes. 59/2

7.4 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Once again a left arm spinner gets the better of Williamson! Agar shows courage to toss the ball up on off, Williamson charges down the track and also makes room. He has a wild, ugly swing across the line but misses to see his off stump get uprooted. New Zealand are three down now and are losing their way here. 72/3

8 OUT! Two in the over for Agar! New Zealand lose their sole review. A waste of a review to be honest by Chapman. Agar bowls it very full on middle, Chapman goes down on one knee and tries to sweep it. He seems to have missed it to get hit flush on the pads. The Australian players appeal and the umpire raises his finger. The batsman walks up to his partner and has a chat. They go upstairs and replays show no bat involved and Hawk Eye shows three reds. Chapman has been given his marching orders and New Zealand, after a flying start, are in trouble here. 73/4

9.5 OUT! In the air...caught! Half the side back in the hut for New Zealand within the 10th over. Agar gets his third. He tosses it up on middle, wanting Grandhomme to go after him. The batsman does so as he mistimes his heave towards deep mid-wicket. Maxwell there does not have to move an inch as he gobbles it. The dangerous Colin walks back and he is dejected with himself, not a shot he needed to play. 91/5

10.2 OUT! Another one bites the dust. In a bid to clear the 'small' ground, the Kiwis are falling like a pack of cards here. Mind you, we are just into the second half as far as the overs bowled are concerned and New Zealand are already 6 down. This is banged in short down the leg side, Santner looks to play the pull. Seems to have missed it but Carey catches it and puts in an appeal, which is upheld. Another look shows that Mitchell has indeed gloved it. Troubles complicate for the hosts. 93/6

12.4 OUT! Timber! Stoinis delivered a similar delivery on the first ball of the over and that was outside off. This time it is in line of the stumps and that's fatal for the batter. Yorker on off, Seifert plays completely down the wrong line. Ends up missing the ball and losing his off stick. Stoinis is pumped as anyone after hitting the bull's eye would be. The Kiwis sink further. 101/7

13.4 OUT! Why, oh why, Southee? You'd just hit a wonderful boundary and there are still over 6 overs to go. Yet you choose to take the aerial route. This is full in length, Tim decides to thwack it and collect a maximum. All he does is find Maxwell at deep mid-wicket to perfection. Glenn just had to bend low and take that, which he did. 110/8

19.4 OUT! That's all for Sodhi with the bat tonight. Full length ball on the stumps, he looks to go for another big one over the mid-wicket region. Ends up missing the ball and losing the sticks. A good hand from him ends. 148/9

9.2 OUT! Warner falls to Sodhi twice in two occasions now. This is the googly on off, Warner goes back to cut it but misses and the ball strikes the off stump and lobs to hit Seifert on the helmet before going to hit the stumps again. Sodhi and the Kiwis are up and running in celebration. Warner isn't sure whether he is clean bowled or stumped and asks the umpire before walking off after getting the confirmation. Is this the wicket the Kiwis needed? 78/2

8 50 and OUT! Short will be kicking himself. He looks to fetch more runs off this over and that proves to be his undoing. Looks to go over long on but fails to get the distance. Chapman from long on settles under it and takes it safely. The crucial breakthrough for New Zealand is here. 72/1

10.3 OUT! Yes, they have! The move to promote Agar up the order has not worked. He has been stumped. He gives the bowler the charge but does it a little early. Santner sees him and fires it full and wide outside off. Agar misses his shot. The keeper does really well as he collects the ball from way outside off and quickly whips the bails off. He appeals and the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays roll in and Agar is very short. Three quick wickets for New Zealand, game on. 67 needed now. 84/3
