This is now Australia's highest score in a World Cup powerplay and the sixth highest by any side. There are still three overs to go.
Bang, four more.
Over in the Australian dug out, Steve Smith is having a right laugh. A sight we all love to see, isn't it.

Did I say David Warner's wrists are genius? They are magic!

That was is even better, it carries the fence! Two sixes for Warner in this Ferguson over. They're going at 12.15 an over.
Might as well copy and past my last entry. Same ball, same result.
Lockie Ferguson has had a mare.

It was shorter than he thought it would be and he thought, do you know what? I'm going to drop kick this one.
Geoff Lemon
BBC Test Match Special commentator
That was an extraordinary shot from David Warner.
I know you can't hear me, Lockie Ferguson, but bowling short and wide is not a very good idea.
David Warner slices it over point for another remarkable six.

This time, Travis Head gets what he wants. His strike rate is a lazy 200...
I just got a little bit hopeful, as Trent Boult only goes for three runs from his first four balls.
And then Travis Head whacks one through mid-wicket. A proper slog, but an effective one.
At this rate, maybe it's better for me to inform you of when there's a dot ball, rather than when there's a boundary.
Matt Henry somehow strings together three of them to end the over.
Australia's projected score is 600. Great.

We spoke about David Warner's genius hands, maybe Travis Head has borrowed them.
What on EARTH is happening?
Four more, straight down the ground this time.
Travis Head, on his return to the side, has 25 from 11 balls. OK.
Australia reach their fifty in the fifth over with a four from the outside edge of Travis Head's bat.
This is going to be agony, isn't it?

It has been quite the start and David Warner now has the most sixes in World Cup history, one more than Ricky Ponting.
In a big day for New Zealand sport, it has not started well.
There's a long time to go until the rugby kicks off, too. (I appreciate we are only four overs in.)
This is brutal.
There are no other words.

It is not what you want as a fielding captain, winning the toss, opting to field and then this happening to you.
Australia are batting well obviously, but this is dreadful bowling and that's so uncharacteristic from New Zealand.
Trent Boult bowls some filthy short stuff outside off stump that is begging to be hit for four, and Warner obliges.
