5.2 to FH Allen, clunked off the toe to midwicket! Starc gets him! Scrambled seam, a touch fuller, fourth stump, it just holds up in the pitch a touch, he tries to launch and miscues off the toe of the bat, dragging it to midwicket. Easy catch for Warner. 61/1 See all photos

15.6 to R Ravindra, Holes out to Starc right at the edge of the boundary. Starc's foot almost touched the rope, but he does well there. Starc swiftly moves to his right from deep midwicket and pouches it. Pitched up on middle and leg, Ravindra picks it up and finds Starc at the boundary. 174/2
Mitchell Marsh	3	0	21	1	7.00	7	0	1	4	0
16.1 to DP Conway, Two in two off Starc. He catches this running back from short third. Offcutter into the pitch from Mitch Marsh, Conway can't get on top of the bounce, he ends up skewing it to Starc. Double-strike for Aus. 174/3

3.4 to TM Head, superb catch at mid-on by Southee! Head skies one trying to go against the swing shaping outside off, he toes it, it flies high over Southee's head at mid-on, he runs back with it and takes an excellent catch sliding on his knees. 29/1
Lockie Ferguson	4	0	23	1	5.75	14	0	2	1	0
10.3 to GJ Maxwell, Ferguson knocks Maxwell over with a 144ks rocket! Not quite a yorker, more on an in-between length and zips back in, catches Maxwell on the crease. Beats his inside edge and thuds into the top of off stump. The Wellington crowd roars wit Ferguson. 111/3
Mitchell Santner	4	0	42	2	10.50	8	2	4	0	0
6.6 to DA Warner, holes out to wide long-on! Santner outfoxes him. 88kph, wider of off, some drop, he tries to slog sweep again but it's too wide, he toes it to wide long-on and it's an easy catch on the rope. 69/2 16.5 to JP Inglis, skier off a top edge, and taken at deep backward square leg. Ravindra had already come second best in a situation like this earlier in the night. But this time he manages to hold on. That ball - a slower, fuller delivery outside off - messes with his bat swing as he sweeps. He's too early on the shot, it comes off low on the bat and just from how hard he is swinging it goes so, so, so very high.. 172/4
