"Hello and welcome to the third T20I between New Zealand and Australia from the Bay Oval. After yesterday's washout it is a case of fingers and toes crossed that the weather gods are kinder today and we get some sort of a game in. The radar looks a bit dodgy but my sources at the ground tell me there is some blue sky knocking about, whether it is enough to make a sailor a pair of trousers remains to be seen."
"We should have the toss and team news imminently. Please do get in touch if you are tuning in. Share Get in there! The coin has been flipped and it has landed Mitch Marsh and Australia's way. Marsh confirms no changes to his side and expects there to be a bit of life in the wicket as it has been under the covers on and off for the last little while."
Australia won the toss and elected to bowl at the Bay Oval. New Zealand captain Michael Bracewell said he was happy to bat first and confirmed his side unchanged. New Zealand named Tim Seifert (wk), Devon Conway, Tim Robinson, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Michael Bracewell (c), Jimmy Neesham, Matt Henry, Ben Sears, Ish Sodhi and Jacob Duffy. Australia named Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh (c), Matt Short, Tim David, Alex Carey (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Mitch Owen, Xavier Bartlett, Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa and Josh Hazlewood. The toss was delayed 15 minutes because of light drizzle after yesterday's washout, with the radar looking uncertain but some blue sky visible.
