       Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the match between
        Australia and New Zealand being held at Guwahati
       This is the seventh match of the tournament and the third between
        Australia and New Zealand
       Australia are on top of the points table with 18 points from 4
        matches, New Zealand and India have 9 points each but New Zealand
        is above Indian on the points table thanks to a better net run
        rate
       We have an early start today (8:30 local time)
       Mostly clear. Low near 65F. Winds light and variable is the weather
        forecast for the day
       but at the moment it is overcast and bowlers should get some help
        out of the pitch early on
       News from the middle is that New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming
        has won the toss and elected to bowl first
       Ian Harvery and Jimmy Maher will open the innings
       Ian Harvery will take strike and it will be Darryl Tuffey to start
        the bowling attack
       three slips in place
   0.1 Tuffey to Harvey, no run, good length delivery wide outside the off
        stump, left alone
   0.2 Tuffey to Harvey, no run
   0.3 Tuffey to Harvey, no run, outside the off stump and shaping away,
        Harvery plays inside the line
   0.4 Tuffey to Harvey, no run
   0.5 Tuffey to Harvey, FOUR, short and wide outside the off stump, cut
        away to the point boundary, Harvery off the mark in style
