    Got to get a wicket before lunch.

    Yep. Warner, Labusha, Larbuch, Lububach the Aussie number 3 and Smith are just going to kill us if they get any time and the pitch already looks like it is getting easier.

    Wagner strikes, Southee takes a great catch, and we don't have to see Warner doing his little five-foot baby roo jump for a 50.

    On a side note, the Australian fans getting pissy on Twitter at NZ fans because of booing is comical.

    Needed Marnus to nick one of those that he nearly did.

    A bit disappointing to get Burns so early and then only get one more having put the Aussies in. The Oz commentators saying we really needed three having done that and I agree.

    Aussie comms also having a go at Nigel "that could have been anything" Llong over one a run decision about avoidance of a bouncer that was deemed a no run.

    Have a look at some test deciding decisions that he has made!

    @Chris-B One more would certainly have been nice but they haven't run away with it yet.

    @Snowy Yeah - it's not horrendous - but, you want to make decent inroads, because the choice you've made is based on doing so. I want them at least five down by tea.

    @No-Quarter supposedly the pitch gets better for batting over time, so the best time to bowl is first.

    I'd have batted though.

    FFS Kane - take the gift!!!

    Nearly three stumps to aim at and Marnus stranded - can't hit!

    Kane butchers a run out. Just had to bounce it to Southee. Pretty disappointing stuff at this level, what a let off.

    Yeah, batting last is fraught with danger regardless of the pitch. Just needed to bat first and get 350+ and she's all on.

    That "bat smash" sensor thing, or whatever they are calling it, looks interesting. Bat speed, angle, etc measured from the bat itself. Pretty cool.

    Yeah, would have been interesting to see with Baz, his bat speed would be next level for some of his shots.

    That's so disappointing - a chance to get their form batsman and almost open up an end (in relative terms). One thing I noticed in Perth was that the Aussies seemed to hit the stumps more than us.

    Southee bowling well an appeal for LBW but it could have come off anything.

    I like the tactic of keeping it outside off and frustrating Smith. Getting drawn into attacking his stumps just feeds him easy runs.

    Shane Warne clearly doesn’t know where the shoulder blades are....

    I lean towards agreeing with the umpire on the denied run. Smith just turned around and it him in the back, that's hardly evasive action. Not exactly controversial and it's one run, get over it.
