"I think not giving Zampa another over would cost Aussies the game," muses Pratik. "They could have restricted NZ below 130.Anyway thanks for making the game alive Smith"

Elliott to Warner, 1 run, OUT, driven powerfully down the ground for a single - no, they'll take two. They'll have to be quick, mind - he's out! Khawaja's short! A brilliant throw from the deep and Usman's not the quickest, and is an inch short

UT Khawaja run out 38 (27b 6x4 0x6) SR: 140.74
8.5
Elliott to Khawaja, 1 run, ooh, catch is the cry, but Elliott can't reach it - Khawaja goes on the pull but, for possibly the first time today, mistimes it and it lobs past the bowler
 

Saurabh: "Did anyone force Finch to sit out today? Or since he was the captain he made the decision himself?"

 
8.4
Elliott to Khawaja, 2 runs, another walking flick from Khawaja who turns this through midwicket, elegantly so
8.3
Elliott to Khawaja, no run, outside off, angled to third man
8.2
Elliott to Khawaja, 2 runs, lovely timing here - shorter delivery and it does rise a touch on the left-hander, but he times this nicely wide of long-on
8.1
Elliott to Warner, 1 run, too short and pulled, without timing, to long-on
