28,000 tickets already sold for tonight's game at Eden Park.

Hopefully it gets rowdy. Black Caps are going to need all the help they can get.

What time are you swinging by to pick me up?!?

[Stockcar86]

I'm starting work at 2am tomorrow, so giving tonight's game a miss.

I have a corporate general ticket for the final though - won't enjoy particularly watching England v Australia, so hope the Black Caps pull tonight's win off

We've won the toss and chosen to bat.

Everything else being equal (and Warner said he would have bowled) I would have asked Australia to set the target.

Maybe Kane thinks this is a safer way to protect our run rate advantage?

[Virgil]

Not a bad start 44/0 off 4 overs

[Donsteppa]

Reasonable.

[Damo]

This has been a very naive bowling display so far from Australia. Surely they know that bowling back of a length is the option at Eden park. Not full or slightly full.

[Donsteppa]

Acceptable, even.

[Virgil]

I’m enjoying this...

[Chris B.]

Quite a good first ten overs.

[Virgil]

Anyone play stick cricket on their phone?

[Donsteppa]

When you see someone going for ten runs an over and think they're doing well...

[Donsteppa]

Not bad from Guptill

[Virgil]

Brilliant 100 to guppy

[Virgil]

Roscoe shows them how it’s done at the end

[Donsteppa]

Class from Taylor at the end to finish a great innings.

[Bovidae]

We limped to the finish until Taylor's cameo.

Off-speed deliveries from Boult and Southee look to be the plan.

And take those catches!!!

[Chris B.]

Super stuff that.

Looks like a pitch on which the bowlers are largely helpless, so maybe I should turn it off now and look up the result tomorrow.

Equals our highest T20 innings, but there have been six higher and Oz owns two of them.

[Donsteppa]

That $50k looks like it might be spent tonight.
