Just a couple to the score. 29th over: Australia 87-5 (Smith 47, Maxwell 17) Maxwell breaks the shackles momentarily, Santner drags one down and Maxwell is onto it in a flash, carving over mid-wicket for SIX! 39th over: Australia 126-8 (Zampa 6, Starc 3) Shot! 40th over: Australia 128-8 (Zampa 7, Starc 4) Two singles off Matt Henry who has 3-25 from nine overs. Four more very welcome runs to the Aussies. 43rd over: Australia 146-8 (Zampa 15, Starc 13) Southee finishes his last over and goes for three runs. Two overs to go, painful runs these for New Zealand. Australia take 11 runs off the final over and plenty of that spurious notion – momentum – into their bowling. Starc has the ball Guptill and Conway have a bat each. 2nd over: New Zealand 4-1 (Conway 2, Williamson 0) A palate cleanser after the spicy start. 5th over: New Zealand 12-1 (Conway 3, Williamson 6) This is challenging for the Black Cap batters. 12th over: New Zealand 18-3 (Williamson 10, Mitchell 0) After 27 dot balls Kane Williamson pounces on a short and wide one from Hazlewood and belts it four in front of square with a textbook cut shot.

[Kane Williamson](https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/players/1058-kane-williamson-playerprofile) won the toss and opted to bowl as they look to level the series. Sean Abbott and Smith then fell in quick succession as New Zealand looked to wrap up the innings. Australia could have had a second wicket immediately after the first as a mix-up left New Zealand wide open for a run out, but the Australian fielders made a mess of the chance. Steve Smith's 61 and a commendable rearguard effort by Mitchell Starc (38*), Adam Zampa (16) and Josh Hazlewood (23*) helped Australia score 195/9 in their 50 overs in the 2nd ODI against New Zealand. When Smith fell, the score was 117/8, but the tailenders frustrated the visiting bowlers to take Australia close to the 200-run mark. While Australia skipper Aaron Finch fell for a duck in the second over, David Warner was out for 5 soon after. Mitchell Santner then had Alex Carey stumped to leave Australia five down, after the wicketkeeper looked to steady them along with Smith. Mitchell Starc had Guptill flashing at a wide delivery in the first over which resulted in his dismissal, while Conway was caught at backward square leg trying to take on Sean Abbott.

New Zealand will have a chase under the lights to try and keep the Chappell-Hadlee series alive after Kane Williamson opted to bowl in Cairns following ...

Between those dismissals, the recalled Sean Abbott, in his first outing of the season, had been sharply held at cover off a firmly-struck drive to give Henry his third. [two days ago](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/new-zealand-in-australia-2022-1317459/australia-vs-new-zealand-1st-odi-1317479/full-scorecard), briefly steadied the innings alongside Smith but he departed to a line-call stumping when he missed a reverse sweep against Mitchell Santner. And while much of the focus has been on Finch's form, it continued a lean time for Stoinis who averages 17 since the 2019 ODI World Cup. He has 26 runs in five innings against Zimbabwe and New Zealand, leaving him with 169 runs at 13 this year. David Warner played out a maiden from Boult to begin the match, then Finch faced up to Henry. 11, as they gave themselves a few more to work with than appeared likely at 117 for 8.

14.6 Abbott to Williamson, no run, back of a length on off, backfoot punched towards mid-off. But when a stalwart like Williamson is playing that way, you got to believe there is a plan behind this tepid start. NZ are in a shell, they are showing absolutely no intent! New Zealand just don't have a way out in this match. 15.5 Zampa to Mitchell, FOUR, a boundary after ages! Everyone seems to have forgotten those exist.

CRR: 3.11. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Alex Carey*, 3(3), 0, 0, 100. Steven Smith, 16(22), 2, 0, 72.73. Bowling, O, M, R, W. Matt Henry*, 4.2, 0, 16, 2.

Full on the pads, flicked behind square and Labuschagne is the fielder who jumps well to try and pluck it. 0.4 Starc to Guptill, 2 runs, dropped!! Full outside off, no swing and Guptill flashed at it.Gets an edge which travels quickly to Aaron Finch at first slip. Guptill c Finch b Starc 2(5) 0.6 Starc to Williamson, no run, how is that not a wicket? Somehow, NZ don't lose a wicket of that delivery

CRR: 3.90. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Mitchell Starc*, 38(45), 2, 1, 84.44. Josh Hazlewood, 23(16), 1, 1, 143.75. Bowling, O, M, R, W.

12.1 Abbott to Mitchell, no run, pitched up, nice and straight. 11.5 Hazlewood to Williamson, no run, good length and straighter, blocked back to the bowler 12.6 Abbott to Mitchell, no run, back of a length on off, pushed back to the bowler.

CRR: 1.18. RR : 4.77. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Kane Williamson*, 6(36), 0, 0, 16.67. Daryl Mitchell, 0(7), 0, 0, 0. Bowling, O, M, R, W.

Bracewell looks to whip a full delivery across the line, misses, and Maxwell runs forward, dives, and gets under the ball cleanly. 25.1 Starc to M Bracewell, out Caught by Maxwell!! 25.6 Starc to Santner, no run, big appeal for a caught behind.
