That's all for this Super 12s opener. England have just won the toss in Perth and asked Afghanistan to bat first. We'll have reaction from Sydney in coverage of that game. You can read the match report of Australia's heavy loss to New Zealand right here. Now it's all eyes on England. Bye for now.Posted at 10:3410:34

They then backed that up with some stunning catch and dead-eye bowling. The Aussie were skittled for just 111.

I wonder what England will make of that? Across Australia, in Perth, they are about to start their campaign against Afghanistan. You can follow that match right here.

Andrew Moore BBC Test Match Special What a performance. They have thrashed Australia. That is a mighty effort.

Post update

Stuart Clark Former Australia fast bowler on Test Match Special There is some soul searching to do for the Australians. The tournament isn't over but they are going to have to improve their performances. Their next match is an absolute crucial match.17.1 overswicket

New Zealand win by 89 runs

Cummins c Conway b Southee 21 (Aus 111 all out) And that is that. New Zealand have hammered hosts and defending champions Australia in the opening game of the World Cup. An 89-run margin is an absolute mauling. Pat Cummins skies Tim Southee into the gloves of Devon Conway to complete the rout. A Kiwi win is no surprise, but who saw this thrashing coming?17 overs

Aus 111-9

Target 201 This is on course to be Australia's biggest T20 loss in terms of runs to New Zealand and against allcomers in a World Cup match. Quite the shallacking.

Stuart Clark Former Australia fast bowler on Test Match Special Trent Boult was too smart. The old knuckle ball. He's bringing out all the party tricks.16.3 overswicket

Aus 109-7

Target 201 Just for the record, Ferguson is bowling at about 90mph. Imagine how quick he would be without a moustache to slow him down.

Aus 107-7

Target 201 Pat Cummins is still giving it some humpty. Ferguson has been whalloped over mid-wicket for a maximum.

Aus 97-7

Target 201 Australia won't have long to pick themselves up from this. They have to make the long trip to Perth to play Sri Lanka on Tuesday. All of a sudden, that is a must-win.14.3 overs

Aus 94-7

Target 201 This match is continuing, but the contest is done. It's just how these two teams can alter their net run-rate. England's game against Afghanistan is less than an hour away.

Stuart Clark Former Australia fast bowler on Test Match Special The Australians have been outplayed in bat and ball by New Zealand in their opening game.14 overs

Aus 91-7

Target 201 Mitchell Starc is the new man. Earlier this week I saw Aussie coach Andrew McDonald touting him as a reserve wicketkeeper, probably because he could get some tips from wife Alyssa Healy.to-topLatest PostPage 1 of 10rewindpreviousNavigate to the next pagenextNavigate to the last pageforwardBack to top
