VETTORI CLAIMS A VITAL WICKET

Daniel Vettori has broken the threatening partnership between Martyn and Lee. He tricked Lee into trying to leg glance a ball which was too straight to and rapped him on the thigh guard. The decision should have been not out as the ball was clearly going over but the umpire saw it fit to give the Kiwis a big advantage?

AUSTRALIA LOOSE ANOTHER

Australia?s hoped of an enthralling victory have been almost destroyed after Shane Warne was caught behind for just 2. Warne was drawn forward by Martin into playing a drive but only succeeded in giving a thin outside edge to the keeper McCullum. A win for the Aussies is now almost impossible?

COULD IT BE DONE?

The possibility of an Aussie victory is still real, according to Damien Martyn. Marto has brought up his 150 with a huge 6 over mid wicket off James Franklin. Australia now only requires 36 runs to win. Can they do it?

TRAGEDY FOR AUSTRALIA

Australia now is one its last legs after loosing innings saviour Damien Martyn. Martyn got too confident after hitting Vettori for 6 and shuffled across the crease in an attempt to drive the ball away. The ball found a gap between bat and pad and hit off stump, much to the crowds delight and Australia?s dismay?

KIWIS LEVEL THE SERIES ONE-ONE

The New Zealanders have finally beaten their Australian rivals in a thrilling finish. The game looked won when as Martyn struck his 150 but fate turned on the Aussies as he let one through the gate for 167. Kasper didn't last long, he pushed at a wide ball from Mason and gave a thin otuside edge to McCullum to level the series 1-1 and send the crowd into a frenzy...

Marto would be gutted after seeing his good work go to the scraps! Brilliant story mate. Superb!
