View dismissal JM How c †Haddin b Lee 2 20 15 0 0 13.33
4.2 a second catch for Braddin, a nick off the toe of the bat, and Sinclair, trying to cut off the back foot, is snapped wide with a tumble to his right 8/2
View dismissal BB McCullum c †Haddin b Lee 6 13 8 1 0 75.00
2.5 McCullum goes early, a big wicket for Australia, and he will kick himself for that shot, flapping at a wide, slower, swinging ball, Haddin taking the faint edge through tidily 7/1
View dismissal MS Sinclair lbw b Hopes 14 38 17 2 0 82.35
11.1 cuts back in from outside off and he strikes immediately! A big beam for Hopes, as there was no foot movement from the batsman 43/3
View dismissal SB Styris b Lee 75 130 79 9 2 94.93
32.5 full yorker from the top drawer, Styris backs away and his middle stump is shattered 158/9
View dismissal LRPL Taylor lbw b Tait 13 15 19 1 0 68.42
14.5 a swing and a miss, trying to hit through the line, but the ball was too quick and nipped back in trapping him in front of his stumps 60/4
View dismissal JDP Oram c Lee b Hopes 2 13 8 0 0 25.00
17.3 the dangerman goes, Oram sending that up and up towards backward square leg where Lee comes in off the rope to take a very good catch, low 72/5
View dismissal GJ Hopkins c Clarke b Hogg 9 26 17 1 0 52.94
23.3 and the change has worked, Hopkins flicking up off his legs, Clarke making yards with his dive to take a good, low catch at short backward square 88/6
View dismissal DL Vettori* c †Haddin b Hogg 0 2 3 0 0 0.00
23.6 and he's gone. Two wickets in the over for Hogg, a very sorry Vettori walks off after edging through one which was leaving him, so it's another catch for Haddin 88/7
View dismissal KD Mills b Tait 7 17 14 1 0 50.00
28.2 yorker cleans him up, not much Mills could have done about that 118/8
