New Zealand finally getting in an extra bowling option for a batter. They have been playing with four bowlers and using Ravindra/Phillips/Mitchell for the fifth bowler's role. Today they have Neesham as the extra pace option
Australia making a very interesting call to get Head in place of Green. Marnus is pushed to five, Inglis at six and Maxwell all the way down at 7.
Teams:
Australia (Playing XI): David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis(w), Glenn Maxwell, Pat Cummins(c), Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
New Zealand (Playing XI): Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham(w/c), Glenn Phillips, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
Pat Cummins: Looks like a good wicket, might be something in early. Travis Head comes in for Cam Green.
New Zealand have won the toss and have opted to field
Tom Latham: We are going to bowl. Early start, reasonable surface, there may be something early with the new ball because of a day game. Jimmy Neesham is in for Mark Chapman who has a calf niggle
