| 1.3 : 1.3: J Hazlewood to M Guptill, FOUR! Up and over! Too full and on the pads, Guptill won't miss out and clips it over mid-wicket for a boundary. No batsman will miss out on such balls. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: J Hazlewood to M Guptill, FOUR! Crashed! A fuller length delivery outside off, Guptill throws his bat at it and gets it past cover-point for a boundary. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: M Starc to L Ronchi, FOUR! In the gap! Full and outside off, Ronchi gets under it and looks to go over the off side. He gets it between point and cover-point for a boundary. That wasn't far away from the fielder. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: J Hazlewood to M Guptill, FOUR! Nice timing! Brings this one into the batsman from outside off, Guptill pushes it back down the wicket. The timing is good as Warner rushes after it from mid off. He dives and almost stops the ball but ends up taking it with him over the ropes. A boundary results. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: J Hazlewood to L Ronchi, FOUR! Just over! Fuller outside off, Ronchi just lofts it over a leaping mid off fielder for a boundary. Had there been a taller fielder there, would have been a wicket. |

| 4.5 : 4.5: M Starc to M Guptill, FOUR! Well timed! Starc bowls it full and around off, Guptill just presses forward and pushes it down the ground through mid off for a boundary. When you can hit such shots, you don't need to play the high risk shots. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: J Hazlewood to M Guptill, OUT! Hazlewood strikes! Angles it on a good length on the stumps, Guptill looks to clip it through the leg side but gets a leading edge towards Maxwell at backward point. Glenn makes no mistake and that is a big wicket for the Australians. Martin is disappointed as he walks back to the pavilion. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: Pat Cummins to K Williamson, FOUR! Risky! Fuller outside off, Williamson drives it square of the wicket through point for a boundary. He opened the face of the bat in time to get the placement right. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: Pat Cummins to L Ronchi, FOUR! Chipped! Cummins lands it on a length on the stumps, Ronchi gets under it and picks it over the mid-wicket fielder for a boundary. A typical Ronchi clip that. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: J Hazlewood to K Williamson, FOUR! Short and on the body, Williamson gets under it and pulls it hard through square leg for a boundary. That was hit with a lot of disdain. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: Pat Cummins to L Ronchi, SIX! Hit on the up! Cummins comes in and angles a good length delivery on the stumps, Ronchi backs away and gives himself some room and lofts it over extra cover for a biggie. Sharp catch in the crowd as well. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Pat Cummins to L Ronchi, FOUR! Neatly done! Angles it on the stumps, on a fuller length, Ronchi just lofts it over the mid on region for a boundary. That was hit as straight as an arrow. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: J Hastings to L Ronchi, FOUR! More runs for Ronchi. Angles it on the stumps, Ronchi works it off his pads through backward square leg. Starc hares after it and looks to stop the ball near the ropes. Fails to do so and a boundary results. |
| 12.3: Pat Cummins to L Ronchi, SIX! What a hit! Cummins angles it on the stumps, Ronchi makes room and just flays it over backward point for a maximum. There was a fielder in the deep but the ball sailed over his head. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Pat Cummins to L Ronchi, FOUR! Almost a stunner! Shorter in length outside off, Ronchi moves across to hook it. The ball goes off the gloves down to the fine leg fence. Wade dived to his left but could not stop the ball. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: J Hastings to L Ronchi, FOUR! Played Ronchi! Length ball outside off, Ronchi looks to drive but gets an outside edge. The ball flies down to third man for a boundary. He brings up his fifty, he will want to make it a big one. |
| 14.3: Pat Cummins to L Ronchi, FOUR! Smashed! Cummins bowls it on the stumps, Williamson makes room and crashes it through extra cover for a boundary. He is playing a gem of a knock here. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Pat Cummins to L Ronchi, FOUR! Adding insult to injury! Shorter in length around off, Ronchi looks to give himself room and plays a tennis forehand over mid on for a boundary. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Pat Cummins to L Ronchi, SIX! Ronchi is not stopping here! Length ball from Cummins, Ronchi gets under it and just lofts it over long off for a maximum. This is a serious assault from Luke. 15 runs from the over, with that drop. Cummins has forgettable figures right now. 5-0-52-0! |
| 15.4 : 15.4: J Hastings to L Ronchi, OUT! End of Ronchi fireworks for today! Hastings goes wide of the crease and angles it outside off on a fuller length, Ronchi looks to go hard but does not keep it down. Glenn Maxwell at point takes the catch and pumps his fists in joy. His second catch of the day. The drop has not cost Australia much. Hastings strikes and Ronchi would feel he should have done better. But that is the way he plays the game. The Kiwis have dropped Tom Latham for him. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: J Hastings to R Taylor, FOUR! Brilliant shot! Fuller outside off, Taylor comes forward and drives it through extra cover for a majestic boundary. That was hit superbly by the batsman. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: M Starc to R Taylor, FOUR! This is top batting from the Kiwis! Short and wide outside off, Taylor this time goes even harder and gets it over the point fielder for a boundary. |
| 21.1 : 21.1: J Hazlewood to R Taylor, FOUR! Nicely done! Shorter outside off, Taylor cuts it nicely behind point. The third man fielder, Starc puts in a desperate dive after going to his right but cannot stop the ball. The runs keep flowing. |

| 32.5 : 32.5: M Starc to R Taylor, FOUR! Fuller delivery into the stumps, Taylor clips it beautifully through the mid-wicket region. Hazlewood gives it a chase from mid on. Tries stopping it with a dive but carries himself into the ropes. The umpire goes upstairs to check and the replays show that Hazlewood's leg was touching the ropes when he made contact with the ball. Boundary signaled. |
| 33.1 : 33.1: J Hastings to K Williamson, FOUR! Fantastic! Back of a length delivery outside off, Williamson slaps that over the backward point region for a boundary. |

The 99-run stand comes to an end. |
| 36.4 : 36.4: J Hastings to K Williamson, FOUR! Dragged on! Slower delivery on a shorter length, following the batsman down the leg side. Williamson just sits low and pulls it through the backward square leg region for a boundary. |
| 36.6 : 36.6: J Hastings to K Williamson, SIX! Shot! Another short delivery outside off, Williamson smashes that one over the mid-wicket region for a maximum. Shaun Pollock on air mentions that had Travis Head been in the line of the ropes then he could have had half a chance. |
| 38.2 : 38.2: J Hastings to N Broom, FOUR! Sloppy fielding! Short delivery into the batsman, Broom pulls it over the wide mid-on region. Henriques from long on goes to his right and dives to stop it. The ball goes under him and into the fence. |

| 39.1 : 39.1: Pat Cummins to K Williamson, OUT! Williamson departs! Very full outside off, Williamson throws his bat at it and gets it straight to the fielder at point. Moises Henriques the fielder there, throws it quickly back to the bowler. Cummins collects it well and throws it back on the stumps.

The Kiwi skipper has to dep |

| 1.2 : 1.2: T Boult to D Warner, FOUR! Poor ball! On the pads, Warner tucks it to the fine leg fence for a boundary. Easy runs, these. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Tim Southee to D Warner, SIX! BOOM! Shorter and just around off, Warner does not miss out and carves it over point for a maximum. Both his feet were off the ground when he played that shot but got superb connection. Shikhar Dhawan from India, plays that shot a lot. It was also in the Champions Trophy 2013 that he announced himself with the shot. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: T Boult to D Warner, OUT! Edged and gone! Shorter length outside off, Warner looks to go big coming down the wicket.

| 7.3: T Boult to M Henriques, FOUR! Top edged! Shorter in length, Henriques goes for the pull but gets a top edge. The ball flies over the head of the keeper for a boundary. |
