5.06pm Quite a grandstand finish, but importantly Australia have finished with a very defendable 243 for 9 on this surface. Trent Boult with the headline performance right at the end, but it was Lockie Ferguson's pace that rattled Australia right up top. Colin de Grandhomme did a great job, too, and it was down to a rearguard from Alex Carey and Usman Khawaja, with a good little hand from Pat Cummins, that has lifted them to a fighting total. Still everything to play for here, surely? Al Muthu will be at the helm when we return for the New Zealand chase. Stick around till then!
New Zealand were at the receiving end of the first hat-trick in World Cups -- all the way back in 1987 -- and Trent Boult gets them their first ever on this day!

Boult on a hat-trick. He already has one in ODIs, but no New Zealand bowler has done it in World Cups. Behrendorff to face
