Anybody else still with us?

These two are giving it a good go. Mitchell in particular is playing well. If this carries on I might just have to hang in here.

Had a quick nap but woke up to see Ravindra get a six and Latham get a sweet four before getting out to a terrible shot.

Now were about to find out if this is really Phillips day after a great innings in the field.

When Williamson comes back, he should open. Ravindra is very much looking like our number 3 for the next decade.

If Williamson is only due to come back at a semi-final stage (if we get that far) then I don't think there is a place for him.

Stupid Australian commentatos saying he got his opportunity because of Williamsons injury, but it was actually Bracewell's injury that opened up the spot for him in the squad.

weak sauce shot. Two cheap wickets. Can Ravindra see us home...

edit - man. I keep forgetting Jimmy is playing. Not to jinx him but this is def his jam!

[Wairau]

Needed some of these others to stand up and support Ravindra more. Partnership starts but nothing decisive. 122 from 76 with 5 wickets left against Australia, doable but tough, unlikely.

If neesh goes the hoik it could get interesting

[NTA]

The fielders are very tentative in the outfield. Dew or sand?

[Wairau]

@NTA 6. good call, hope it goes down to the wire

[NTA]

Aus were 5/279 same stage

[Damo]

That's it now. See you all in around 7 hours.

Have to see the 50 overs out now for the sake of our NRR

Game is still there. Bit of Neesh magic and you never know.

Nasty for Marsh

They are correct as he would not have played as Williamson would have batted 3 and Young would have opened.
This was mentioned by the NZ coaches as well.
