Australia declare Tim Paine wisely doesn't send Josh Hazlewood out there. Great performance by Southee and Wagner to take eight wickets between them and test Australia both technically and temperamentally. Australia will now have a crack on this cracking surface with a new ball, but they are a bowler down.

Shashank will step in to start the chase.

Southee to Starc, OUT, caught at a catching third man! Length ball angled across Starc, he tried to hit this to Rottnest island, heaving across the line, he gets a thick edge that flies to Taylor who has been smartly placed at a fine catching third man. Easy catch. Five for Southee. His best performance against Australia

MA Starc c Taylor b Southee 23 (29m 21b 4x4 0x6) SR: 109.52

Wagner to Starc, 1 run, another head high bouncer, he half ducks half pulls, miscuing through square leg and it lands safely

Aaron: "This is the first match of the series, and NZ have bowled a lot of overs in 40 degree heat. Maybe what Paine sees (and NZ are failing to see) is that the longer they stay out there in the heat the worst shape they'll be in for the rest of the series..." Wade mentioned that to Wagner while he was out there

Wagner to Starc, 1 wide, 114kph, bouncer, over leg, but way too high and called
