The pressure's on Australia! Dan Vettori won the toss and sent the Aussies in, and they are currently 23 for 3, with Hayden, Katich and Ponting all falling to Tim Southee.
The only thing that upsets me is that Mrs Inventory and I have to go over to Palmy later this afternoon, so I will get prised away from the TV!! And you know that summer is here when the unique, nasal tones of Bill Lawry boom out from the telly - Gottim, yes!
Go here for livescoring.
UPDATE: End of day one: Australia 214 all out; New Zealand 7 without loss when bad light stopped play. A terrific performance by the Black Caps bowlers; let's hope that the batsmen can cash in tomorrow.

Hussey gone but strange that Vettori didn't bring Southee on as soon as Symonds came in. He let him play himself in against Elliot with Martin at the other end - to my mind it should have been Southee and Martin.
Symonds has just taken 12 runs off an over from Elliot (I think) and Vettori is now into the attack for the first time.
An interesting period of play since my last post.
A dropped catch - Symonds dropped by Redmond.
An eight scored - I hav e never seen one of those in any type of cricket - 4 run and 4 overthrows off the next ball.
Symonds caught behind off O'Brien two balls later.
All of the above was in the same over.
A couple of overs later Watson caught behind again off O'Brien.
Aust now 6.147 Clarke still in on 57 and Southee back for Vettori.
