Daryl Mitchell also scored 30 off 22 with 4 fours & 1 six before getting out retired hurt. 

For Australia, Kane Richardson picked up 3 wickets, while Adam Zampa picked up 2 wickets. Starc and Agar picked up 1 scalp each.

However, in the first ball of Australian innings, Warner charged down the track, looked to drive and got an edge for the fielder to take a stunner. However, The flying Kiwi - Guptill - took a blinder flying to his left and taking a one-handed beaut.
