fire from the semi, hits his first ball for a straight six. Mid-off and mid-on stay up. A single to Mitchell, and then Guptill is dropped by Matthew Wade behind the wicket – a bottom edge, not easy but into the left glove and out again.
2nd over: New Zealand 13-0 (Guptill 10, Mitchell 3) Josh Hazlewood, harder to get away than Starc, opens with line’n’length: four dots to Guptill, who is vastly experienced but has never faced Hazlewood before in a T20 international. Then there’s a bouncer, and Guptill is tucked up but manages to shovel it round to fine leg for four. Australia win that over, but they’d like a wicket.
