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!
The field comes in, Patel gets rid of his helmet, and his gloves. He wants to feel as light as possible.
There's never been a tie between these two sides in ODIs
Jeetan Patel walks in.

4 to get off 5, Southee on strike, the keeper is standing behind
5 to get off 6 balls, tension!
