What a terrific start by Australia. 78/1 from 12.2 overs

Gilly 50 from 39 balls
Hayden 13 from 21 balls - Out to a brilliant outfield catch by Sinclair bowled Oram
Ponting 12 from 16 balls

That's a handy batting line-up. Shane Watson at 8!!!

Aust 110/1 from 18 overs. Run rate 6.11



Could be a very big total if these two hang a round for a while.

Should have kept my mouth shut.

Aust 114/2

Gillchrist out bowled. 68.

NZ's got an extra man on the field.

Scratch what I said about them having a strong batting line-up.

Geez, Clarke and Lehmann had better dig in here, because they're pretty weak in the bowling for this game.
