24.3 Hauritz to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by White!! Steps out and looks to flick it over the infield, doesn't get the elevation and White takes the simplest of catches at mid wicket. The Kiwis are surely in trouble now, he was edgy since Taylor's wicket and the Aussies are cock a hoop at the moment. They are on top now and the Kiwis have a lot of repair work to do.Brendon McCullum c White b Hauritz 61(75) <4s-3 6s-4>

7.4 Watson to Guptill, out Caught by Ponting!! And there comes the breakthrough, it was a fuller length delivery outside off, he gets forward and drives it on the up off the middle, the skipper dives to his right and takes a good low catch to end a blistering opening stand that looked like taking the game away from the Aussies. Watson strikes in his first over yet again. Guptill c Ponting b Watson 30(22) <4s-5>

19.5 Hopes to Taylor, out Caught by Michael Hussey!! Mr. Cricket takes an absolute stunner! Good length delivery on the stumps, Taylor flicks it uppishly to backward square leg, Hussey moves across quickly and takes a wonderful tumbling catch, sends back the dangerous Taylor and Aus get the timely wicket.

22.2 Hauritz to Stewart, out Caught by Watson at long on!! Tragedy for the Kiwis, a rush of blood from the debutant has done him in. He looked to clear long on but is deceived in flight completely as he holes out to Watto who doesn't make any mistake what so ever at long on. They have lost 2 wickets in quick succession now as the Aussies fightback. Stewart c Watson b Hauritz 4(9)

29.2 Hopes to Styris, out Caught&Bowled!! And the wickets continue to tumble. The ball stopped on him a bit after pitching on the good length area on middle, Styris was through with the stroke early, gets a leading edge back to the bowler who dives forward anf takes a good low catch on his followthrough. Who will take the Kiwis past 250 now? They are in dire straits. Styris c and b Hopes 8(19)

30.4 Johnson to Vettori, out Lbw!! Full and straight does it for Johnson! Fullish delivery on the stumps, Vettori walks across and tries to work it to the leg side, misses it and gets hit on the pads, the umpire has no hesitation giving it out as it would have hit middle and off, Australia are now going for the kill here.

41.1 Watson to Hopkins, out Caught by Haddin!! What a dreaful start to the batting PP, gets a thin edge as he looks to force a length delivery outside off, gets a feather edge and the keeper takes an easy catch. Hopkins c Haddin b Watson 20(32) <4s-1>

38.3 Hauritz to Franklin, out Bowled!! How unlucky can you get! Tossed up delivery on leg stump, it would have been signalled a wide, Franklin goes for the sweep, hits the glove and rolls onto the thigh guard and onto the stump, Franklin is absolutely gutted, but the Aussies will not complain.

43.3 Harris to Tuffey, out Caught&Bowled!! Spears in a perfect yorker on middle, Tuffey tries to dig it out but the ball pops up and a good catch by the bowler on his followthrough. He is walking back to a round of applause from the crowd. He has certainly given the Kiwis some hope with his blistering innings but NZ is in danger of being bowled out well within their quota of overs. Tuffey c and b Harris 34(17) <4s-1 6s-4>

44.1 Johnson to Bond, out Caught by Hauritz!! And the party is over. It was full and straight on middle, Bond went for the big heave over mid on, doesn't connect properly and ends up spooning it to Hauritz who takes a good low catch at mid on to end proceedings for the Kiwis. Australians certainly know now that they have a firm grasp on this match. Bond c Hauritz b Johnson 19(9) <4s-1 6s-1>

0.3 Bond to Haddin, out Caught by Styris!! Perfect start for Bond! The last game's centurion has been dismissed for a golden duck!
