Champions Trophy, Group 'A', June 1-10

Good for NZ that Taylor is out.

he does tend to get bogged down at times and in the situation they were in he needed to be looking to push on, he's got the ability to do that as well

[alfie]

Hastings came back well to get the break after Williamson started taking him apart...

Important wicket for Australia

Even so , if Williamson sticks around the last twelve overs could be lively...

[dan08]

Surprised Broom came in ahead of Corey.

[rich1uk]

surprised they didn't bring Anderson in with just 12 overs to go

his career s/r in ODIs is way superior to Broom

[alfie]

Australia holding them at present - Henriques somewhat surprisingly has been quite economical.

The last nine overs will be key though. Starc should be good for three of them but the others might be targeted...

[rich1uk]

after the classy innings from Root yesterday we are seeing another from Williamson today, maybe even better

100 up from just 96 balls

[alfie]

Hundred ...and out !

Smart fielding work ; and that could be a decisive blow. Top innings

But NZ needed him to bat through. Still no Anderson ?

[rich1uk]

if McCullum had still been captain i doubt we would have seen NZ just stick to their stated batting order in this situation

[rich1uk]

pity there isn't a spinner on to Broom

i want to be able to say "broom out sweeping"

[alfie]

NZ losing the plot a bit hereabouts...

Broom never really got going and they are in danger of missing out on the Happy Hour runs.

[alfie]

Anderson goes quickly and NZ may not even post 300 now...

Wheels have come off.

[rich1uk]

yeah another example of just how reliant NZ are on guptill, williamson and taylor

[alfie]

Might not bat out the 46 overs...

Australia have bowled pretty well in these last few : but there's been some very poor batting. Really wasting the efforts of Ronchi Williamson and Taylor.

I'm saying 290. Which probably won't be enough.

[yuppie]

Hazelwood and Starc to see this out.

Australias 5th bowlers only went for 47 runs, probably going to be the most economical of the bowlers.

Ronchi did ok getting NZ off to a bit of a flier.
