- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.1 Warner bites the dust! Phillips breaks through! Floated up a shade on middle and off. Warner plants his front foot and tries to chip it over Phillips. Does not quite get to the pitch of the ball, though, and Warner ends up popping it straight back to the bowler. He was a little tentative on that stroke, surprisingly, and it has led to his downfall! 175/123.2 Head perishes now, and Phillips has two! Another fullish delivery pushed through, this time on middle and leg. Head tries to stay back and force it through the off side but the ball skids through, going past his bat and smashing into the stumps. Phillips is ecstatic but take nothing away from this truly extraordinary innings - one of the best you will see this World Cup! 200/236.3 clean bowled! Marsh completely deceived. Soft dismissal. Good length, drifting into off, he went back in two minds and tried to force down the ground and just missed it. It crashed into the top of off 264/429.4 soft dismissal, Phillips has three now! Floated up full outside off and Smith's eyes light up. He thinks he can go over mid off and pick up a boundary but the ball dips right under his bat, meaning that he cannot get the elevation he is after. Offers a tame catch to mid off, and Australia in danger of losing their way now! 228/338.1 top edge caught at deep midwicket! This was well bowled. Tossed up slower and wider of off, Labuschagne was sucked into the slog sweep and gets a top edge flies high to deep midwicket and Ravindra runs in off the rope and takes an excellent catch 274/544.3 holes out to long-off! Huge scalp for Neesham! Good planning and execution. From around the wicket, he went wide and full, Maxwell stepped across and tried to launch over long-on and sliced it high to long-off and it's well held by Boult running in 325/648.1 Finally a catch is held! Phillips at long-on. Very full jammed into off, Inglis is sitting deep trying to get under it but he hits it flat to long-on and Phillips pouches this one diving forward 387/748.3 given lbw! Looks plumb. Cummins reviews. Yorker speared at middle and off, Cummins is sitting right back in crease to try and flick it behind square, it beats the bat and hits him flush on the bottom of the pad infront of middle and off. Cummins sees the replay and does not wait for ball tracking. He walks off. It was plumb. Ball tracking has it smashing off stump low down 388/849.2 holes out to deep square! Australia bowled out! Length slower ball outside off, Starc was trying to heave this over deep midwicket and got it off the toe of the bat, it travelled a long way but Neesham was right on the rope and held on 388/1048.6 stumps splayed everywhere! Boult gets three in the over. Zampa skips out and shimmies leg side, Boult fires full and straight, beats the outside edge and it crashes into middle 388/9Extras9 (b 1, nb 2, w 6)TOTAL388 all out (49.2 Overs, RR: 7.86)Fall of wickets: 1-175 (David Warner, 19.1 ov), 2-200 (Travis Head, 23.2 ov), 3-228 (Steven Smith, 29.4 ov), 4-264 (Mitchell Marsh, 36.3 ov), 5-274 (Marnus Labuschagne, 38.1 ov), 6-325 (Glenn Maxwell, 44.3 ov), 7-387 (Josh Inglis, 48.1 ov), 8-388 (Pat Cummins, 48.3 ov), 9-388 (Adam Zampa, 48.6 ov), 10-388 (Mitchell Starc, 49.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 taken superbly by Starc at short fine leg! Back of a length delivery on leg stump and that ought to have been put away. Conway swings at it and hits it towards short fine. Starc flings himself to his right and plucks it out of thin air. Conway is livid with himself, but Australia have the breakthrough they were after! 61/19.4 edged and taken! Young falls, and Hazlewood has two in the powerplay! Hard length, in that probing channel just outside off. Young has no option but to play at it and when he does, the ball flies off the outside edge towards short third man. Starc makes no mistake and NZ are in a spot of bother now! 72/240.2 Cummins gets the big fish, and that is a massive, massive moment in the game! Slower delivery that pitches on a length and is hung well outside off. Ravindra has to reach out for it and in the end, just cannot generate the power he is after. Chips it straight down Labuschagne's throat at long off, and he throws his head back in disappointment. An unbelievable innings that has kept NZ in the game, but someone else will have to get them over the line now! 293/623.6 holes out to long-on! Zampa wins the battle! Mitchell skips down to a good length but he wasn't quite to it, Zampa leg break slid on a touch, he went through with the stroke but got it off the inside half of the bat and it went straight down Starc's throat at long-on and he held another catch 168/331.2 reverse sweep top edge straight to short third! Well bowled by Zampa. Slows it up, some extra bounce, Latham picks the wrong length to reverse sweep, the extra bounce catches the top edge and it floats to Hazlewood on the ring 222/436.6 Maxwell gets Phillips! Full just outside off and with mid off in the circle, Phillips thinks he can get an easy boundary. Does not show any conviction in the stroke, though, and makes a rather half-hearted attempted. Pings off the bottom part of the bat and Labuschagne, running back from mid off, does the rest! 265/549.5 Neesham has been run out trying to get back on strike. More drama in Dharamsala! Thigh-high full toss on leg stump. Neesham tries to hit it too hard and shanks it. Labuschagne hurtles in off the fence, collects cleanly and fires it accurately enough at the batter's end. Neesham puts in the dive but to no avail. A yard or two short of his ground, and he will be devastated. Nine times out of ten, he would have hit that full toss into the mountains. Today was the one aberration! 383/943.3 high into the Dharamsala sky but it has not gone far. Gobbled up by Maxwell at long on! Slowed up beautifully on middle and leg, and Santner cannot resist the urge to go big. Was the right call too, considering the situation. Unfortunately for him and NZ, he did not quite get to the pitch of the ball, possibly because he was deceived in the air. Hoists it a mile up, and Maxwell does the rest. Is that the game? 320/746.4 four and gone! Cummins has another! Another slower delivery dug into the track outside off. Henry tries to carve it over backward point but just does not have pace to work with. Flashes hard at it but all he manages is a catch to Hazlewood in the ring! 346/8Extras26 (lb 4, w 22)TOTAL383/9 (50 Overs, RR: 7.66)Fall of wickets: 1-61 (Devon Conway, 7.2 ov), 2-72 (Will Young, 9.4 ov), 3-168 (Daryl Mitchell, 23.6 ov), 4-222 (Tom Latham, 31.2 ov), 5-265 (Glenn Phillips, 36.6 ov), 6-293 (Rachin Ravindra, 40.2 ov), 7-320 (Mitchell Santner, 43.3 ov), 8-346 (Matt Henry, 46.4 ov), 9-383 (James Neesham, 49.5 ov)
