Lee heroics as Kiwis crash to defeat

Australia have beaten New Zealand by 93 runs in Auckland to take the lead in the battle for the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy.

Earlier on the Aussies were all out for just 215, bespectacled spinner Daniel Vettori racking up 4-42.

New South Wales paceman Brett Lee roared in at the Kiwis from the start and left with the man of the match award after taking figures of 7-35.

"We tried to finish this off way too quickly and we kept losing wickets," New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming told reporters.

Only 10.5 overs had been bowled in the innings when Shane Bond was caught in the ring for 16 to end the match.

MATCH RESULT: Australia beat New Zealand by 93 runs & lead series 1-0

New Zealand edge out Australia to level the series

Australia tried to chase down New Zealand's total but lost by 15 runs despite half centuries from Brad Haddin, Phil Jaques and Mike Hussey.

Brad Haddin scored his second consecutive half century against New Zealand

Jacob Oram took bowling figures of 2-81 from his ten overs to be the highest wicket taker in the innings, but Daryl Tuffey was ecomonical by conceding just 29 runs from his ten overs.

Scott Styris earlier scored a century in the match and maybe took the toal out of Australia's reach as he was awarded the Man Of The Match honour.

Journalist: Congratulations Scott. Can New Zealand win the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy now?

*crowd cheers*

Scott Styris: Yes. The team showed that we can compete with the best today.

The series is now tied 1-1 and will be decided the thid and final one-day international at Auckland.

Match Result: New Zealand beat Australia by 15 runs and tie the series 1-1
