Reports that it's gloomy in Auckland and that the covers were on up until now. Looks like they've all been removed now and we're still on track for an on-time start. In other news, Mitch Marsh has been rested and Matthew Wade will captain Australia today.

Boult to Matthew Short, FOUR, that went quick! Pitched up full on off-stump, Matthew Short drilled it up and over cover, again not cleanly struck but enough to clear the in-field and raced away to the fence
2.1
Boult to Matthew Short, SIX, high and over the ropes! Length delivery on off-stump, Matthew Short just stood still and dragged it away into the leg-side with a pull, was not out of the middle and it went high in the air before landing over the cow corner ropes
