    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    At one point, Matt Henry went 21 off two legitimate balls, so it ended up being a good recovery for him.

  2. Aus 36-0

    Matt Henry, with rather unflattering figures of 0-30 from two overs, gets out of the over.

    That's one where you trudge down to fine leg and contemplate why on earth you decided to play cricket in the first place.

  3. Aus 35-0

    And that one is also launched into the stands.

    Matt Henry, so often Mr Consistent, is having an absolute stinker.

    No! This is so bad.

    It's another no-ball! Another free hit!!

    Matt Henry reacts
  5. Aus 28-0

    That is HUGE.

    Nearly out of the ground.

    Thought you'd just broken your hand, Travis?

  6. Aus 22-0

    A nightmare.

    Matt Henry has overstepped and given away a free hit.

  7. Aus 20-0

    My word.

    Matt Henry drops too short again and David Warner heaves it into the stands for the first six of the day.

    Wicket soon, please.

  8. Aus 14-0

    Welcome back, Travis Head.

    He thumps Trent Boult straight back down the ground for an authoritative boundary.

    Hmmm. Early pressure on New Zealand.

    David Warner

    We need to talk a lot more about David Warner's hands, he has genius hands. Especially with the bat in hand, we can be lazy and call him a bulldog, but even that shot, he gets into the right position, uses his wrists and plays shots most batters can't.

  10. Aus 8-0

    Short, wide, four through the covers.

    Short, wide, four through square leg.

    Not the start New Zealand would've wanted.

    I'm glad Australia are batting first, I hope they set a big score and Rachin Ravindra comes out and scores some runs for New Zealand.

  12. Aus 0-0

    Bit of swing, dot ball.

    Warner has been in magnificent form, as have New Zealand's bowlers. We're in for a cracker.

    General view of Dharamsala during Australia v New Zealand World Cup game

    New Zealand have been unreal at this World Cup so far and Australia are peaking at the right time. It is all set up for a brilliant contest.

  14. Post update

    The anthems are done, and they are both up there with the best in the tournament to be fair.

    Proper belters.

    Big news for Australia is that Travis Head returns at the top of the order from his hand injury, joined by regular opener David Warner.

    Matt Henry has ball in hand. Let's go.

  15. Teams

    Australia: David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Travis Head, Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.

    New Zealand: Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (capt & wk), Glenn Phillips, Jimmy Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult.

  16. New Zealand win the toss and bowl first

    Morning all!

    To those of you keen enough to join us at this hour, welcome, and let's hope we're in for another cracker after yesterday's thriller.

    New Zealand and Australia are both in pretty good positions, in third and fourth in the table, and Tom Latham's side have got first advantage by winning the toss and bowling first.
