Live updates of the opening Chappell-Hadlee series match between the Black Caps and Australia at Eden Park. Finch was a late callup when Matt Wade, himself set to make his captaincy debut, injured his back shortly before the start and withdrew from the game. New Zealand have omitted Colin de Grandhomme, wicketkeeper Tom Blundell and seamer Matt Henry. Australia have left out legspinner Adam Zampa and fast bowler Billy Stanlake, along with Wade. No 1-ranked Australia have won seven of their last eight ODIs and are in impressive form.
