Adam Zampa to Finn Allen
OUT! TAKEN! The misery ends for Finn Allen as he departs. Short of a length turning away from the batter, Finn Allen looks for the wild slog towards leg but ends up hitting it off the toe and ballooning this over Mitchell Starc at point. Starc settles underneath and takes a good catch. New Zealand are now in deep trouble as they have lost their top-order halfway at the chase.

Another tight over from Spencer Johnson. Short-pitched in middle, Mark Chapman pulls this towards cow corner for a single. Singles and doubles won't really matter to Australia at the moment as the game is pretty much under their control now.
