Williamson 81(79)
38.6
Starc to Williamson, 1 run, back of a length delivery outside off, Williamson pats it into the off-side to retain strike
38.5
Starc to Santner, leg byes, 1 run, full toss hits Santner flush on the pad. Beaten by the sheer pace of it. No appeal though as it's easily going down leg
38.1
Starc to Williamson, FOUR, just out of Bailey's reach at extra-cover. But what timing from Williamson. Absolutely nailed the inside-out drive. Couldn't manage the elevation he would have wanted but it flew off the bat
37.6
Faulkner to C de Grandhomme, no run, another good slower ball. Back of the hand, makes it tougher to slog when executed right. Grandhomme makes room for the slog-sweep but misses. The ball passes in between him and leg-stump
37.4
Faulkner to Williamson, SIX, oh take that! Williamson has blasted it over the deep mid-wicket boundary. Pulled it off the front foot and got a good piece of it
37.3
Faulkner to Williamson, FOUR, cheeky! Walks across, gets outside the line of the length ball and paddles it past short fine. New Zealand could do with a dozen more of these
37.2
Faulkner to Williamson, no run, short of length, pulled straight to mid-wicket
37.1
Faulkner to Williamson, 2 runs, another outside edge wide of third man with Williamson trying to go downtown. Doesn't come naturally to him
36.6
P Cummins to C de Grandhomme, 2 runs, right through Smith at backward point. Puts his hand up immediately in apology. Just took his eyes off the ball and didn't even get a finger. Third man has to do the dirty work
36.3
P Cummins to Williamson, 2 runs, Cummins might have seen Williamson shaping up for the scoop, slows the pace down on a back of a length. Williamson picks him off anyway, clears short fine leg but because the pace was taken off, it doesn't go all the way
36.2
P Cummins to Williamson, no run, back of a length in the channel, blocked
36.1
P Cummins to Williamson, no run, back of a length just outside off, dabbed to point
35.6
Faulkner to C de Grandhomme, 2 runs, driven through the point region, the sweeper has some ground to cover to his left and it's an easy couple
35.2
Faulkner to Williamson, no run, and again. An exaggerated shuffle this time to step towards leg, Faulkner is reading him beautifully. Cramping him up for room and limits him to a mistimed drive to cover
35.1
Faulkner to Williamson, no run, good length ball angled in, Williamson is backing away to open up the off-side but Faulkner denies him the room to do so. Mistimes the drive to mid-off
34.6
Hazlewood to C de Grandhomme, no run, excellent over from Hazlewood. Had Grandhomme all at sea by moving it one way and then the other. This one is fuller in length outside off, invites the flamboyant drive but holds its line slightly and fizzes past the edge
33.6
Faulkner to C de Grandhomme, no run, back of a length around off, defended from the crease
33.4
Faulkner to Williamson, 2 runs, shuffles across against a back of a length delivery and clips it to the right of deep square leg

31.6

31.1
Faulkner to Munro, 1 run, Munro gets off the mark with a tap to sweeper cover
30.6
Hazlewood to Neesham, out Caught by Starc!! Just what New Zealanders didn't want. Set man departs while looking to up the ante. Hazlewood angles it across the left-hander, hits the splice of Neesham's bat as he tries to go over the top on the off-side. Starc gobbles up a dolly at mid-off. Hazlewood pumps his fist in delight.
