9.50 pm: What a superb low-scoring thriller at the WACA. New Zealand pip Australia by two wickets off the last ball. They'll be mighty thrilled with the effort but it should have never got this close.

Kyle Mills is the Player of the Match for taking four wickets and then scoring 26 runs just when the chase got really tense. The next game is on Friday at the MCG, do join us for that. Thank you for your emails, on behalf of today's commentary team (Jamie, Sid R, and Kanishkaa) this is George Binoy signing off. Good night!

Bracken to Vettori, 1 run, he's done it! Vettori's hit the winning run! Bracken bowls a full ball outside off stump, he was looking for the yorker no doubt.Vettori loves width outside off, he loves the cut, and he places the ball through backward point and yells in triumph

The field comes in, Patel gets rid of his helmet, and his gloves. He wants to feel as light as possible.

Bracken to Patel, 1 run, just opens the face of the bat and steers it to short third man, New Zealand can't lose now, the scores are level

There's never been a tie between these two sides in ODIs

Bracken to Vettori, 1 run, fires in the yorker and he gets underneath a low full toss and works it away to deep square leg

Bracken to Patel, 1 run, gets forward and steers it down to backward point and the batsmen are struggling, the fielder has a shy at the bowler';s stumps and Patel is nowhere in the scene

Jeetan Patel walks in.

Bracken to Southee, OUT, timber! Bracken bowls that deadly off cutter and Southee fails to pick the slower ball, he exposes his leg stump and tries to heave it away over square leg as the ball thuds on to his middle stump

TG Southee b Bracken 3 (11m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

4 to get off 5, Southee on strike, the keeper is standing behind
