    3.2 seam movement for Hazlewood, pins Guptill on the back leg - given! That looked pretty plumb, the ball nipping past the inside edge as he looked to drive, hit him on the thigh but that's because he was coming forward with a bent leg. Discusses the review with Latham but decides against. Australia - and the pink ball - have their first victim 7/1

    31.5 attempts to cut, slightly too close - and Nevill catches it right in the fingertips of his gloves! There was an appreciable connection off the toe of the bat but the keeper did superbly to follow the ball and hold on to it. Latham is chiselled out and that will tip the scales back Australia's way 94/3

    23.4 lbw! Williamson has been bogged down for a while now and Starc's taken him out with a yorker. That is plumb. Williamson had moved a long way across his crease and was in an awkward position to play the yorker. He tried to defend but the ball beat his outside edge, as he was squared up, and crashed into his back pad. 59/2

    32.6 the nip-backer and that's got him! Siddle moves on to 199 Test wickets, NZ are four down... Taylor had looked fidgety, eager to get bat on ball, slightly loose drive and the pinkie came back at home to flick the inside edge 98/4

    46.3 bowled him! What a comeback from Starc ... he hit a good length around off and angled it into the left-hander at speed. Santner tried to drive again but the length wasn't full enough. He was beaten on the inside edge and the ball brushed his front pad before going on to hit his stumps. Starc gives Santner a bit of a send-off 142/6

Wasn't quite there for the stroke and, after showing so much patience, he tried to force it through the covers 184/8

    52.3 he's bowled him with a superb delivery! Lyon has flighted this on middle stump line from round the wicket, pitched on a good length, and turned it away from the left-hander past his outside edge, to clip the top of off stump. Craig should have been forward to this, but he went right back into his crease, giving the ball plenty of time and space to do its thing 164/7

    48.2 he's been caught behind! That is an awesome catch from Watling! Smith gave Craig a mighty charge and swung hard, aiming to clear the long straight boundaries. The ball dipped on him from round the wicket and he was beaten in the flight. It spun quite a bit and took the inside edge and deviated towards the leg side. Watling moved quickly and caught it. Smith was really far outside his crease but Watling did not bother trying to stump him. He knew he had caught him. Massive wicket. 109/6

    24.4 late swing again and this time he's got him! Brilliant from Southee, he's got the pink ball talking in the calm of the afternoon and Voges doesn't get lucky a third time... This was a really full ball on off, tempting Voges to try and hit across the line but it straightened and flew off the edge to third slip at waist height 63/3

    28.4 pitched up and driven towards mid-off, great stop by McCullum, diving one-handed... and then he hits the stumps with Marsh well out of his ground! What happened there? Smith is shaking his head at the striker's end, there looked to be a single on, despite the brilliant work from B-Mac, but he had plenty of time to toss a gentle throw and run Marsh out. Yep, he hesitated two, three times after calling, they almost had a conference in the middle and that cost Marsh his wicket 67/4

    36.1 pushes forward outside off, nicked to the keeper, Australia are five down! There was no need to play at that line but Marsh hasn't got the patience, at least yet, he followed the ball and brought about his downfall. Although at least it wasn't as bad as his big brother's dismissal 80/5

Siddle strides forward to defend the ball coming at him from round the wicket, he gets an inside edge on to the pad and it pops up for Latham, who takes a sharp catch at head height, he had to reach upwards to his right to get it 109/7

    12.3 nice and full, too juicy for Guptill to resist but he squirts an outside edge straight to gully! Australia knock the first brick out of the wall, Hazlewood getting it into an area where Guptill isn't comfortable, particularly if the ball shapes away as it did. Probably could have left it but nicely bowled, left him quite late 29/1

    28.3 lbw! that is full and plumb! After a couple of short of a length balls Hazlewood fires it in full and quick, Taylor is caught in his crease and leans across his stumps as he tries to defendd. He misses the line of the ball and is struck low on the pad. No question there. 98/5

    25.2 he's been given lbw! Will McCullum review? Was it too high? He is reviewing the decision. McCullum pushed forward to a good length ball coming into him from over the wicket. The ball hit the pad before it hit the bat. The height looks good as well. Replays indicate that is going to hit two-thirds the way up middle stump. He was beaten by the movement into him, played outside the line of the ball. Marsh is making up for Starc's absence. 84/4

Santner tried to charge again and tried to smash it over the leg side, but Lyon was too smart, he fired the ball faster and wider outside the off stump and beat the powerful bat swing. Santner did a split to try and get his back foot back into his crease, but he was too far out when Nevill took off the bails. He's played a superb innings though 175/8

Hazelwood draws an indiscretion, the ball full and then seaming late, and Watling, who was dropped by Smith last night, is a goner 116/6

Hazlewood began to run for the catch from fine leg, but then saw Lyon running for it as well from deep square leg. Hazlewood let Lyon get under it. the ball was swirling as it descended on the edge of the boundary and Lyon judged it superbly, falling to the ground as he caught it 192/9

This is soooo close to being a no-ball, Bracewell's front foot seemingly right on the line but Nigel Llong - he of the Lyon Preservation Society - decides it is okay and Warner heads off. Huge wicket, another huge moment. Third umpire repaying his debt? 62/2

No inside edge, this is down to ball-tracker, and Eagle Eye says... Gone! Just flicking the leg bail and that is enough to back up Richard Illingworth's on-field decision.
