13:00
Welcome to Centurion for the final of the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy between Australia and New Zealand.

The big team news is that New Zealand skipper Vettori misses out due to a hamstring injury. It's a hammer blow for the Black Cats. Brendan McCullum captains the side in Vettori's absence.
13:04
The toss: McCullum wins the toss and elects to bat.
13:06
The Aussies were  red hot favourites before the news of Vettori's injury came out. Now, you may as well bet your house on an Aussie win.
13:07

TwitterKiwis r batting first. They need to make at least 280 to win without Vettori!
13:13
TwitterAUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! hoping for a GREAT game. Ponting is on fire.......!!
13:18
The Kiwis are going to have to bat very well here today. There's a lot of pressure on the top order to perform as they will have trouble defending anything less than a very high score without Vettori.
13:22
Play will begin in less than ten minutes. We've got the two national anthems to sit through and then we're ready to go.
13:29
The Aussies are singing along vigorously to their anthem.
13:31
McCullum and Redmond to open for NZ. Lee to bowl. Here we go....
13:32
Lee starts off with a wide.
13:33
The next delivery shapes away from McCullum, who leaves it.
13:33
Lee and Co go up for a huge LBW shout against McCullum. Not out - inside edge.
13:34
There's some definite away swing for Lee.
13:36
Awesome delivery from Lee. Some late swing took the ball past McCullum's outside edge as he looked to work the ball through mid on.
13:36
A legside wide brings up NZ's second run.
13:37
A leg bye off the final ball of the over means McCullum will keep the strike.
