Sadly, Khawaja has spent more time in the middle running drinks than any of our top 6 has spent batting... #NZvAUS https://t.co/RudlxKkQVb

Gee wouldn't it have been nice to have Khawaja today? Too bad these other blokes are all batting too well to be dropped. #cricket #NZvAUS

DRINKS! At the end of 16 overs, Australia are 91/6. 50-run partnership between Faulkner and Wade. Wade 32*, Faulkner 18*.

Still laughing at the Steve Smith story about saying send offs just aren't cricket! You guys are the masters of it, Load of pants #NZvAUS

Anderson replaces Boult (3-38) from the Northern End. Milne to continue from the South. 81/6, 15 overs #NZvAUS ^WN

A four and a six in that over to Wade takes the Aussies to 6-79 after 14 overs. Partnership with Faulkner worth 38. Anderson to bowl #NZvAUS
