New Zealand win toss and field against Australia

SYDNEY, Feb 18 (Reuters) New Zealand won the toss and elected to field in the second Chappell-Hadlee series one-day match against Australia in Auckland today.

New Zealand made one change to the team that won by 10 wickets in Wellington on Friday, specialist batsman Peter Fulton replacing injured all rounder Jacob Oram.

Oram was ruled out of the final two matches of the series after breaking the ring finger on his left hand while taking a routine catch.

Australia also made one change, fast bowler Shaun Tait replacing Mitchell Johnson.

Tait was not originally selected for the tour but was called in when Brett Lee twisted his ankle in training and was sent home.

Teams: New Zealand - Stephen Fleming (captain), Lou Vincent, Peter Fulton, Ross Taylor, Scott Styris, Craig McMillan, Brendon McCullum, Daniel Vettori, Daryl Tuffey, Shane Bond, Mark Gillespie, James Franklin (12th man).

Australia - Mike Hussey (captain), Matthew Hayden, Phil Jacques, Brad Haddin, Brad Hodge, Cameron White, Shane Watson, Brad Hogg, Nathan Bracken, Glenn McGrath, Shaun Tait, Mitchell Johnson (12th man).
