OUT! Maxwell holes out! It appeared to be a clean shot, would have been a biggie on any other ground but here, he's caught near the fence. On a length and around middle and leg. Maxwell whips it away and hits it high in the air towards deep square leg. James Neesham runs to his right near the fence and takes a sharp catch. This game is not over yet.

OUT! Australia are 8 down and this game is heading to a close finish now. 26 needed off 53 balls. Back of a length, around leg at 144.8 kph, Starc tries to fend it away but he does so uppishly towards square leg where Daryl Mitchell takes a simple catch. New Zealand have a sniff here!

Mitchell Santner to Adam Zampa
Tossed up, outside off. Zampa pushes it past point and collects a brace. Poor from the fielder, he throws it at the striker's end when everyone knows that Green is struggling with cramps. Anyway, excellent running particularly from Green who is struggling right now.
