Covers come off after rain halts play

June 02, 2017 21:33

So the rain has gone and the covers have come off too.

The ICC states on Twitter that the target has been revised and Australia now need 235 off 33 overs for a win.

Earlier, Josh Hazlewoood picked 6 wickets to put New Zealand on the back foot after Kane Williamson struck a superb ton to set base for a big score, after the match was shortened to 46 overs each innings because of the mid-innings rain.

Unfortunately, the Kiwis lost far too many wickets in the death overs and were eventually bundled out for 291 in 45 overs.
