Australia win by six wickets. We thought they were in trouble? Well, the world champions have cantered to victory with two overs to spare. A superb innings from Ash Gardner and a nice return with the bat for Ellyse Perry. New Zealand had their moments, especially Jess Kerr, but couldn't sustain the pressure when they had Australia 14 for 3. The visitors just have so much depth and confidence - they'll also feel better for the first run out of the tour. I'll wrap things up there for tonight. Thanks for your company and I'll be back on Tuesday for the second match.
