Aus 36-0published at 3 overs
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.
Aus 35-0published at 2.4 overs
And that one is also launched into the stands.
Matt Henry, so often Mr Consistent, is having an absolute stinker.

That is HUGE.
Nearly out of the ground.
Thought you'd just broken your hand, Travis?
Aus 22-0published at 2.2 overs
A nightmare.
Matt Henry has overstepped and given away a free hit.
Aus 20-0published at 2.1 overs
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.
Aus 14-0published at 2 overs
Welcome back, Travis Head.
He thumps Trent Boult straight back down the ground for an authoritative boundary.
Hmmm. Early pressure on New Zealand.

Short, wide, four through the covers.
Short, wide, four through square leg.
Not the start New Zealand would've wanted.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialI'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.

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

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.

Morning all!
