  1. Aus 140-2

    Tim Southee is back, and starts with a gift on the pad that gets tickled fine for four by Glenn Maxwell.

    David Shervington: This could be huge for the game. So exciting to think of all the kids who tomorrow will be eagerly signing up to join their local coin-tossing club, and emulating their coin-tossing heroes.

  3. Aus 136-2

    Need 37 from 30 balls

    For a team whose strength lies in their bowling, New Zealand have been so poor tonight. Only Boult has found the right lines.

    I know it's not easy with the dew and under the lights, but after the first few overs, and when Warner started smacking it around, New Zealand looked beaten.

    I don't remember Adam Milne bowling like this in the Hundred. He tried to hit the stumps and bowl a heavy line.

  5. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    I'm not sure if this is the right tactic from Adam Milne. He's just banging it in short.

  6. Aus 134-2

    Fortune for Glenn Maxwell, as he goes for another big swing and ends up top-edging it over the keeper's head for four.

    Sigh.

  7. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Australia are cruising at the moment. They are doing it nicely. The run rate has never got away from them because they've just had the ability to score the boundary at the right time.

  8. Aus 130-2

    Short, leg side, and Glenn Maxwell absolutely hoicks a pull for four.

  9. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    That is a bit of good fortune for Mitch Marsh.

  10. Aus 126-2

    Mitchell Marsh has a swing - and the ball drops just in front of an advancing Daryl Mitchell at deep square!

  11. Adam Milne is back.

  12. I've liked Mitch Marsh ever since he rocked up to an Ashes press conference and, when asked about how much weight he had lost, said: "I don't necessarily eat that bad, I'm just a big eater and my mum likes to feed me."

    Me too, Mitch. Me too.

  13. Aus 125-2

    Need 48 from 36 balls

    Ish Sodhi has figures of 0-40 from his three. Not quite Starc-esque, but not great.

  14. Aus 124-2

    Another horrible wide...

  15. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    There must be some sort of dew because that is the sort of ball you see in Sunday League cricket.

  16. Aus 123-2

    An awful wide from Sodhi.

    All that pressure Boult built is slipping away...

  17. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    That was a ghastly ball. It must be getting a bit dewy out there because that slipped out of Ish Sodhi's hand.

    Marsh has gone on the attack after that wicket.

  18. Aus 122-2

    Oh, that is absolute nonsense from Ish Sodhi, a horrible long-hop that gets punished deservedly for four by Mitch Marsh.

  19. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    That has gone miles. It bounced off the advertising hoardings on the second tier. It was a thunderous shot.

    50 for Marsh

    Another player brings up his half-century with a six!

    Mitch Marsh gets down on one knee and heaves the ball into the stands to bring up a 31-ball 50.
