Six!

SIX! Off the edge and it goes all the way! Very full and outside off, shapes away. Head looks to drive but edges it over third man and it goes for a six. Short side!

Goes very full this time on middle, right on the money and Head blocks it out.

FOUR! Australia are underway! Pitched up, outside off and swings away. Head drives it through the gap to point for a boundary.

We are all set. The Kiwis are out in the middle. Travis Head and Steven Smith to open for the Aussies. Trent Boult is back and he is raring to go. Time for action...
