The Australian captain reached a century from 50 balls and held together an innings that faltered dramatically in the middle overs to see his team surpass New Zealand’s total of 156-9 with two overs to spare.

Marsh carried his bat through the Australian innings and was 103 not out as the visitors finished with 160-7. He produced more than 60% of the Australian total: only two other batters reached double figures.
