It’s day one of the first Test between Australia and New Zealand in Perth.

The hosts won the toss and chose to bat first in the day-night encounter.

Australia have fielded an unchanged side for the third match in a row, while the Black Caps have replaced the injured Trent Boult with Lockie Ferguson.

The Aussies have not lost a series at home to New Zealand since 1985.
