1st over: New Zealand 8-0 (Latham 8, Young 0) Mitchell Starc begins with the new ball. There’s decent carry and some nice movement in the air too. Tom Latham – face daubed in white zinc – opens the face and runs a length ball wide of gully for four. New Zealand are away. Shot! Nothing more than a defensive push from Latham to an attempted yorker from Starc, the ball evades mid off and runs away for four. Two boundaries off the first over, plenty in it for bat and ball.
Richard Hadlee rings the bell and gives a hearty wave, he looks trim and fit, almost like he could do a job with the new ball.
