Warner pushes off the first delivery for the first run of the day.

Then Finch plays Boult off his pads towards the boundary, and there's fine work from Neesham to just pull the ball back from the rope with a sliding stop as the famous slope at Lord's nearly takes it away from the fielder.

That beat Guptill for pace. He got the hand there but just palmed it away.

It was to his right, he got one hand to it but it beat him with pace. He palmed it away, round the goalpost. Ooh, that would have been nice for the New Zealanders.

An unnamed colleague here described de Grandhomme as a 'medium pace trundler', but he's kept it tight and we have had two maidens to start with.

Aus 0-0

Finch cover dives in the air, and Martin Guptill spills a one-handed chance to his right! That would have been a brilliant claim had it stuck

Here's a bit of a surprise - Colin de Grandhomme is taking the second over with his medium pacers.

Boult squares Warner up - he shapes to play off his legs but the ball skims to point on the off as Boult gets some early swing.

And the final ball of the over takes the edge and lands just short of Jimmy Neesham at second slip.

Good first over - and a maiden to boot.

Boult's first is well up to the bat, and Warner digs it out without taking a run.

Aaron Finch and David Warner stride to the middle after donning gloves and helmets, while New Zealand break out of their huddle.

Warner, with exactly 500 runs so far in the World Cup, will face the first delivery from Trent Boult from the Pavilion End.

Australia have played on this pitch. They know the dimensions of this ground. New Zealand are going to have to deal with that.

There's already a World Cup match under way - and it's got big implications for England's future in this competition.

Pakistan will move ahead of the hosts in the table if they beat Afghanistan at Headingley and they're on top at the moment.

Afghanistan are 186-6 after 40 overs - you can follow that match here.

The two teams are out on the pitch for the national anthems - not too long now...

Australia have won four of their last five World Cup meetings with New Zealand (L1); the Black Caps' only victory in that span coming on home soil on 28 February 2015 in Auckland.

New Zealand have won 13 of their last 15 completed World Cup matches (L2), one of those losses coming against Australia in the 2015 final and the other in their most recent fixture against Pakistan.

You should know the drill by now - select the audio icon above.

Australia top the table with 12 points from seven games played, and are already through to the semi-finals.

A win, and two points, for New Zealand today will also see them into the last four.

Brazil and the World Cup are synonymous with each other.

Just not at the Cricket World Cup.

Wonder if this flag has ever flown at Lord's before?

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson: "We would have had a bat, it’s a used surface on the dry side but it's important we do the job first up.

"We have played on so many different surfaces that pose different challenges, but today is another day.

"These are always great games and the trans-Tasman thing goes across all different codes. It’s not just a one-off, it’s one of nine and who knows what happens after that?"

The Black Caps make two changes to the side that lost to Pakistan, with Henry Nicholls and Ish Sodhi replacing Colin Munro and Matt Henry. Australia remain the same with the XI that beat England so convincingly at Lord's.

Australia: Finch (c), Warner, Khawaja, Smith, Maxwell, Stoinis, Carey (WK), Cummins, Starc, Behrendorff, Lyon.

New Zealand: Guptill, Nicholls, Williamson (c), Taylor, Latham (wk), Neesham, de Grandhomme, Sodhi, Santner, Ferguson, Boult.

Australia captain Aaron Finch: "It's a used wicket so hopefully later on it will slow up and take more spin.

"I think it's a totally different wicket to the other day. There will be something in it first thing for both sides with the new ball.

"No changes. Unfortunate for the four guys missing out but everyone has played at some point."

Aaron Finch calls tails, and gets it right. Australia will bat.
