A sunny day at Carisbrook has not led to a sunny performance
from the Black Caps against Australia and they face a tough
target when they return to the wicket this evening.

dinner break the Kiwis who performed so well against the
West Indies only to be trounced by Australia at the weekend
were chasing 311 runs to
win.
