- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 Got him! Played on. Shortish ball on middle and off coming into the ball, Redmond didn't account for the inswing, it takes the inside edge and crashes into leg stump 11/122.5 And Doherty strikes. Guptill goes lbw. Pitched up, on middle, Guptill tries the sweep, but misses to be rapped on the back pad. Umpire had no hesitation that it would have gone on to hit off 115/234.4 Fulton goes. That's a big wicket for Australia. Length delivery, Fulton goes for an extravagant drive. It was miscued and Tait runs back from extra cover to end Fulton's stay 170/429.4 Sensational catch by Phil Hughes at the long-on boundary. Marshall slogged it to deep long-on where Hughes held it just inside the boundary. He was overbalancing and just as he was going to step across the rope, he tossed the ball up and managed to get back inside the field of play and made a dive to catch it before it dropped. Great thinking from Hughes there 152/344.2 Another wicket goes down. Broom goes. Comes down the track and tries to pull a short of length ball, gets the top edge and a simple catch for White at midwicket 206/741.1 Stumped! Easy for Ronchi. Elliott comes down the track and tries to play an inside-out drive, didn't quite get to the pitch, and is beaten by the turn to be stranded a long way out 198/543.1 Another wicket for Doherty. Not off a very good ball this time. Length ball wide down the leg stump, Nathan McCullum tries to sweep and only manages to drag it back onto his stumps 204/647.3 Patel tries to repeat the shot that fetched him a boundary in the last over but is bowled this time as he is undone by the turn 218/848.3 Length delivery, angling in to Gillespie, who gives himself room to try power the ball over the top. He gets nowhere near the ball and his middle and leg stump are uprooted 221/9Extras29 (b 1, lb 11, nb 2, w 15)TOTAL235/9 (50 Overs, RR: 4.7)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Aaron Redmond, 3.2 ov), 2-115 (Martin Guptill, 22.5 ov), 3-152 (James Marshall, 29.4 ov), 4-170 (Peter Fulton, 34.4 ov), 5-198 (Grant Elliott, 41.1 ov), 6-204 (Nathan McCullum, 43.1 ov), 7-206 (Neil Broom, 44.2 ov), 8-218 (Jeetan Patel, 47.3 ov), 9-221 (Mark Gillespie, 48.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 lovely ball, pitches on a good length on the middle stump and swings away from the left-hander. simple catch to the left of second slip, taken gleefully by Broom. 9/16.4 again on leg stump, a loud appeal for leg before wicket, umpire reckons it was going on to hit, another strike by Gillespie 47/32.1 down the leg side, the umpire has given him out, the batsman looks shocked 18/222.5 a superb piece of fielding by the fielder in deep point. A direct hit finds the batsman short by a few inches. The collapse continues ... 97/810.2 length was on the fuller side again, and it was wide outside off, North tries to repeat the previous stroke and only manages to get an outside edge, and the keeper Reece Young takes a smart catch 67/410.4 Voges' stay i brief. Elliott is delighted. That's his second wicket in three balls. A leg side delivery is feathered by Voges to Young as New Zealand take control of the match 67/514.4 Noffke's gone! outside off on a length, that one went a touch away, gets the outside edge, and yet another catch for Reece Young. he umpire didn't actually give that out, Noffke walked 73/616.3 And Doherty goes. Charges down the track to a back of a length delivery on off stump, tries to loft over mid-on but doesn't get hold of it and results in a simple catch for Fulton at mid-on 73/726.1 and that's it. A rout by 129 runs. Siddle backs away and tries to get his bat on the ball, he ends up outside his crease, Reece continues the good work and stumps him in a flash. 106/1024.2 flighted, batsman played all over it, another one bites the dust 97/9Extras12 (lb 5, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL106 all out (26.1 Overs, RR: 4.05)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Phillip Hughes, 0.5 ov), 2-18 (David Hussey, 2.1 ov), 3-47 (Luke Ronchi, 6.4 ov), 4-67 (Marcus North, 10.2 ov), 5-67 (Adam Voges, 10.4 ov), 6-73 (Ashley Noffke, 14.4 ov), 7-73 (Xavier Doherty, 16.3 ov), 8-97 (Cameron White, 22.5 ov), 9-97 (Doug Bollinger, 24.2 ov), 10-106 (Peter Siddle, 26.1 ov)
