DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF MIDDAY, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. POLICE NAME VICTIMS AS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE REMAIN HOMELESS AFTER THE DEADLY TORNADO IN NORTH-WEST AUCKLAND. A SHAKE-UP IN THE NATION'S BUILDING REGULATIONS TO GUARD AGAINST EARTHQUAKE DEATHS AND DESTRUCTION. THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE IS FEELING BETTER, LEAVING HOSPITAL AFTER BEING TREATED FOR MORNING SICKNESS. AND HAS NZ'S BEST BATSMAN OPTED OUT OF THE BLACKCAPS TEAM TO TOUR SOUTH AFRICA? POLICE HAVE NOW NAMED THE THREE MEN KILLED BY THE TORNADO WHICH RIPPED THROUGH THE SUBURBS OF HOBSONVILLE AND WHENUAPAI IN NORTH-WEST AUCKLAND YESTERDAY. A MASSIVE CLEAN-UP JOB IS UNDERWAY IN THE WAKE OF THE TORNADO, WHICH HAS LEFT MORE THAN 200 PEOPLE STILL UNABLE TO RETURN TO THEIR BADLY DAMAGED HOMES. ONE NEWS REPORTER BROOKE DOBSON JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM HOBSONVILLE WITH THE LATEST. BROOKE. IT'S BEEN EXACTLY 24 HOURS SINCE THE TORNADO RIPPED THROUGH HERE LEAVING MORE THAN 200 HOMES DAMAGES IT'S BEEN GUARDED FROM THE PUBLIC EXTENSIVE CORDONS IN PLACE JOHN KEY HAS JUST TOURED THE DAMAGED AREA TO SEE FOR HIMSELF THE DAMAGE DONE TO HIS ELECTORATE THREE DEATHS AND 250 PEOPLE LEFT HOMELESS ` IT'S NO WONDER WHEN YOU SEE WHAT'S LEFT OF THEIR NEIGHBOURHOOD. MORE THAN 220 HOBSONVILLE AND WHENUAPAI PROPERTIES WERE EVACUATED AFTER THE TORNADO RIPPED THROUGH THEIR COMMUNITY. I'VE BEEN STAYING AT MY FRIENDS' PLACE OVER IN MASSEY ON THEIR COUCH FOR THE NIGHT. POLICE CORDONS ARE BLOCKING OFF ALL ACCESS TO THE WORST-HIT AREAS, LEAVING RESIDENTS FRUSTRATED THEY CAN'T VISIT THEIR HOMES. WE WERE ALLOWED IN IN THE EVENING TO COLLECT SOME THINGS AND WERE TOLD WE'D BE ALLOWED BACK IN TODAY TO COLLECT MORE THINGS, BUT IT'S NOT THE CASE. UNDER SUPERVISION, SOME RESIDENTS WERE ALLOWED BACK INSIDE THE CORDON TO COLLECT THEIR PETS, WHICH WERE LEFT STRANDED IN THE EVACUATION. VECTOR RESTORED POWER TO 700 CUSTOMERS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, LEAVING JUST OVER 600 WITHOUT ELECTRICITY TODAY. CIVIL DEFENCE IS ALSO WORKING ON ASSESSING THE FULL EXTENT OF THE DESTRUCTION. INITIAL PREDICTIONS HAVE THE CLEAN-UP BILL AT $11M, BUT THAT FIGURE IS SURE TO RISE. THERE WAS TWO TYPES OF DAMAGE YESTERDAY ` THERE WAS WHERE THE TORNADO WAS, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF ROOF DAMAGE, A LOT OF SERIOUS DAMAGE; BUT THERE WAS POCKETS OF FLOODING THROUGHOUT THE REGION AS WELL. THE NAMES OF THE THREE MEN WHO DIED DURING THE TORNADO HAVE BEEN RELEASED. TWO WERE KILLED WHEN A HUGE CONCRETE BUILDING SLAB WAS KNOCKED OVER BY THE TORNADO, CRUSHING THE TRUCK THEY WERE TAKING SHELTER IN. THEY WERE MASSEY RESIDENTS BRENDON JOHNSON AND TOM STOWERS AND TUAKAU RESIDENT KEITH LANGFORD. AUCKLAND MAYOR LEN BROWN SAYS HE WANTS DISPLACED FAMILIES TO BE BACK IN THEIR HOMES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AFTER VISITING THE DEVASTATED STREETS HIMSELF, HE HAD NOTHING BUT PRAISE FOR THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS. THE POLICE AND THEIR LEADERSHIP, THE AIR FORCE AND THEIR HOSTING, THE USAR GUYS AND THE WORK THEY DID, ALL THE COUNCIL GUYS, ST JOHN'S, FIRE SERVICE ` STUNNING RESPONSE. ALTHOUGH THE TORNADO WAS A FREAK EVENT, METSERVICE SAYS WE'RE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS COMPLETELY. THE NEXT THREAT WE HAVE IS THE CENTRE OF THIS AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ` THE COAL POOL; THE UPPER LEVER COAL POOL, AS WE CALL IT, WHICH PROVIDES SOME UNSTABLE AIR. SO, HEATING OF THE DAY, MEETING THAT COLD AIR, AND... BOOM. THERE'LL BE THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN TODAY. MEANWHILE, A CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITY IS STILL COMING TO TERMS WITH THE DEATHS AND DEVASTATION. SO THE RESIDENTS OF THESE AREAS SAY IT'S A VERY TIGHT-KNIT AREA AND MOSTLY AIR FORCE FAMILIES LIVE HERE AND THE MAJORITY OF DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE TO DEFENCE FORCE HOMES THOSE CORDONS SHOULD BE LIFTED SOON TO ALLOW RESIDENTS BACK TO DO CLEAN-UP OF THEIR HOMES THE CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKE ROYAL COMMISSION SAYS THERE NEEDS TO BE MAJOR LAW CHANGES TO MAKE THE COUNTRY'S BUILDINGS SAFER. 42 PEOPLE DIED IN THE FEBRUARY EARTHQUAKE BECAUSE OF UNREINFORCED MASONRY, AND IT'S ESTIMATED THERE ARE STILL UP TO 25,000 EARTHQUAKE-PRONE BUILDINGS. ONE NEWS POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM WELLINGTON. I GUESS THE FIRST POINT TO MAKE ABOUT THIS REPORT IS THERE IS NO CHANGE TO THE BUILDING CODE STANDARD ANY CHANGE TO THAT COULD HAVE SEEN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF COST IMPOSED OLDER BUILDINGS NEED TO REACH 33% OF REQUIREMENTS OF NEW BUILDINGS ALL OLDER BUILDINGS NEED TO BE BROUGHT UP TO THAT WITHIN 15 YEARS MUCH FASTER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE ` ABOUT 28 YEARS THE GOVERNMENT AGREES WITH THAT TIMEFRAME, BUT DOES DISAGREE WITH THE COMMISSION AROUND UNREINFORCED MASONRY BUILDINGS THAT LED TO MANY DEATHS IN CHRISTCHU THE COMMISSION WANTS THAT DONE IN 7 YEARS. GOVERNMENT SAYS 15. HERE'S WHAT MAURICE WILLIAMSON HAD TO SAY ABOUT TIME FRAME ISSUE. WE THINK THE TIMEFRAME WE'D SET ASIDE WAS REALISTIC. THE ROYAL COMMISSION WANT IT SLIGHTLY FASTER. WE'LL LAND SOMEWHERE IN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THOSE MIDPOINTS SOMEWHERE OR WHATEVER. THE ISSUE FOR THE GOVERNMENT IS BALANCING SAFETY NEEDS AND COST IF IT GOES WITH THIS 15-YEAR TIME FRAME IT WOULD ADD $700M THE PUBLIC WILL BE CONSULTED IT'S A TRICKY ONE FOR THE GOVERNMENT STRIKING A BALANCE A COUPLE OF OTHER POINTS: RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS ` THE REPORT SAYS COUNCIL SHOULD HAVE OPTION OF REQUIRING HOMES TO MEET THESE STANDARDS THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT KEEN ONT HAT THERE COULD BE EXEMPTIONS FOR CHURCHES, SIGNIFICANT HERITAGE BUILDINGS, ETC SOME GOOD NEWS TODAY FOR A GROUP OF CHRISTCHURCH RED-ZONE RESIDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN FIGHTING TO SAVE THEIR HOMES. THE HILLSIDE HOMES WHICH AUTHORITIES SAY ARE AT RISK OF ROCKFALL HAVE BEEN THROWN A LIFELINE BY THE CITY COUNCIL, WHICH HAS AGREED TO CONSIDER ROCK PROTECTION WORK ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. THE HOMEOWNERS HAD EARLIER BEEN TOLD ALL THEIR HOMES WOULD HAVE TO BE DEMOLISHED, DESPITE A CABINET REPORT RECOMMENDING PROTECTION WORK BE CARRIED OUT. OVERSEAS ` EGYPT'S PRESIDENT, MOHAMMED MORSI, HAS CALLED FOR A MEETING WITH THE OPPOSITION THIS WEEKEND IN A BID TO DEFUSE A POLITICAL CRISIS. CLASHES BETWEEN OPPONENTS AND SUPPORTERS OF MR MORSI HAVE LEFT FIVE PEOPLE DEAD AND HUNDREDS INJURED OVERNIGHT. THE ARMY HAS NOW SET UP BARRICADES OUTSIDE THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE. MR MORSI SAYS HE SUPPORTS THE RIGHT TO PROTEST BUT CLAIMS PEOPLE ARE BEING PAID TO CREATE VIOLENCE. ONE LEADING PRO-DEMOCRACY GROUP HAS REJECTED CALLS FOR DIALOGUE AND INSISTS IT WILL TAKE PART IN A PROTEST AGAINST THE HEAD OF STATE TOMORROW. THE LATEST CRISIS ERUPTED AFTER PRESIDENT MORSI ASSUMED NEAR-ABSOLUTE POWERS. RESCUE SHELTERS HAVE PROVED TO BE AN UNSAFE REFUGE FOR HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CAUGHT UP IN A TYPHOON IN THE SOUTHERN PHILIPPINES. MORE THAN 300 PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND HUNDREDS REMAIN MISSING IN THE WAKE OF TYPHOON BOPHA. THE ABC'S ZOE DANIEL REPORTS. THE SOUTHERN ISLAND OF MINDANAO RARELY FEELS THE BRUNT OF A STORM LIKE THIS. BUT SUPER TYPHOON BOPHA SHOCKED THE REGION WHEN IT BLEW IN FROM THE PACIFIC WITH BRUTAL FORCE EARLIER THIS WEEK. COMMUNICATIONS HAVE BEEN CUT TO MANY AREAS, BUT THE IMPACT OF FLOODING AND LANDSLIDES IS NOW BECOMING HORRIBLY CLEAR. TRANSLATOR: 'THE PEOPLE WERE SHOCKED BECAUSE IT HAPPENED FAST. 'THERE WAS A LOT OF DEBRIS ON THE ROAD.' RESCUE WORKERS ARE RETRIEVING BODIES, PUSHING THE DEATH TOLL WELL INTO THE HUNDREDS. HUNDREDS MORE ARE STILL MISSING. TRAGICALLY, MANY WERE KILLED WHEN LANDSLIDES CRASHED DOWN ON BUILDINGS BEING USED AS EMERGENCY SHELTERS. TRANSLATOR: 'I'M HOPEFUL I'LL FIND MY SON. 'THAT'S WHY I'M STILL SEARCHING.' THIS CHILD (3) IS ALIVE AFTER MORE THAN 24 HOURS BURIED IN THE MUD. TODDLER CRIES TRANSLATOR: 'THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE RELOCATED TO THE SAFE AREAS 'LIKE THE VILLAGE HALL AND THE HEALTH CENTRE, 'BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE FLOODWATERS WERE COMING 'FROM NEARBY FARMLANDS. WE CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW IT HAPPENED.' ABOUT 20 TYPHOONS HIT THE PHILIPPINES ANNUALLY, BUT THIS IS THE WORST STORM SINCE THE SAME TIME LAST YEAR WHEN TYPHOON WASHI KILLED 1500 PEOPLE. BOPHA HAS NOW MOVED ON INTO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA, BUT ALONG WITH THE DESTRUCTION, IT'S LEFT 87,000 PEOPLE IN EMERGENCY SHELTERS AND MANY GRIEVING. THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE HAS BEEN DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL, WHERE SHE WAS BEING TREATED FOR ACUTE MORNING SICKNESS. SHE LEFT WITH HER HUSBAND, PRINCE WILLIAM, AT HER SIDE, SAYING SHE FELT MUCH BETTER. THE BBC'S NICHOLAS WITCHELL REPORTS. FEMALE REPORTER: KATE, HOW ARE YOU FEELING? HOW ARE YOU FEELING? 'MUCH BETTER,' CAME THE REPLY. KATE EMERGED FROM HOSPITAL LOOKING RATHER MORE SUBDUED THAN NORMAL, BUT THAT'S ONLY TO BE EXPECTED ` WALKING CAREFULLY AND WITH A WAVE TO HOSPITAL STAFF WHO'VE TREATED HER SINCE HER ADMISSION ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. SHE WAS TAKEN FROM THE KING EDWARD VII HOSPITAL, NEAR LONDON'S HARLEY ST, TO THE COUPLE'S HOME AT KENSINGTON PALACE FOR WHAT OFFICIALS SAY WILL BE A PERIOD OF REST. KATE'S RECOVERY IS CERTAINLY A RELIEF FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY. PRINCE CHARLES, VISITING MEMBERS OF A COMMONWEALTH EXPEDITION PREPARING TO SET OFF TO ANTARCTICA, EVEN MANAGED A JOKE ABOUT THAT AUSTRALIAN PRANK CALL TO THE HOSPITAL. HOW DO YOU KNOW I'M NOT A RADIO STATION? (CHUCKLES) I'M THRILLED. IT'S MARVELLOUS. VERY NICE THOUGHT ` GRANDFATHERHOOD, IN MY OLD AGE, IF I MAY SAY SO. SO THAT'S SPLENDID. AND I'M VERY GLAD MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW'S GETTING BETTER. THANK GOODNESS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THE IMPORTANT THING FOR KATE NOW, ACCORDING TO DOCTORS, IS TO GET AS MUCH REST AS POSSIBLE. THE FIRST THING KATE SHOULD BE DOING IS RESTING AND AVOIDING ANY COMMITMENTS THAT AREN'T ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. IF SHE DOESN'T, THERE IS A REAL RISK THAT HER VOMITING COULD GET WORSE AGAIN AND SHE COULD END UP BACK IN HOSPITAL. BUT THE NEED TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF KATE AND THE UNBORN BABY RAISED SOME VERY REAL, PRACTICAL ISSUES FOR THE COUPLE. KATE HAS TO DECIDE WHETHER SHE STAYS IN LONDON, BUT THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE WITHOUT WILLIAM'S FULL-TIME SUPPORT ` HE'S NEEDED BACK IN ANGLESEA. AND WILLIAM MUST DECIDE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WHETHER TO REMAIN AS AN RAF SEARCH-AND-RESCUE PILOT, TO SWITCH TO ANOTHER ROLE OR LEAVE THE MILITARY ALTOGETHER. ALL IN ALL, IT SHOULD MEAN SOME IMPORTANT DISCUSSIONS WHEN WILLIAM AND KATE JOIN THE REST OF THE ROYAL FAMILY AT SANDRINGHAM FOR CHRISTMAS. BRITAIN'S MOST WELL-KNOWN PUBLICIST TO THE STARS, MAX CLIFFORD, HAS BEEN ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF SEXUAL OFFENCES. CLIFFORD IS FAMOUS FOR HIS ABILITY TO SELL STORIES, AND ALSO FOR KEEPING MANY OF THEM OUT OF THE NEWS. BUT TODAY IT'S HIS NAME SPLASHED ACROSS BRITAIN'S FRONT PAGES. MAX CLIFFORD WAS TAKEN FROM HIS HOME AND IS BEING QUESTIONED BY DETECTIVES WHO ARE WORKING ON THE INQUIRY INTO DISGRACED ENTERTAINER JIMMY SAVILE, ALTHOUGH HIS ARREST IS NOT CONNECTED WITH ALLEGATIONS MADE AGAINST THE LATE BBC PRESENTER. WE HAVE THE LATEST PICTURES OF TWO HOLLYWOOD MUSICAL STARS REUNITING. DANNY AND SANDY ` YES, THE STARS FROM THE HIT MUSICAL GREASE ` HAVE RELEASED A NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR THEIR HOLIDAY ALBUM. # OOH. # I THINK YOU MIGHT LIKE IT. # OH, BABY... # THE VIDEO CONSISTS OF JOHN TRAVOLTA AND OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN WITH LOTS OF PASTED-ON SMILES AND CONTRIVED TWO-STEPPING. 'I THINK YOU MIGHT LIKE IT' IS WRITTEN BY JOHN FARRAR, THE SONGWRITER WHO PENNED THE COUPLE'S HIT DUET FROM THE MOVIE GREASE. # YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT. # YOU ARE THE ONE I WANT. # OOH, OOH, OOH. HONEY... # THEIR LATEST ATTEMPT HAS RECEIVED MIXED REVIEWS, WITH ONE REVIEWER CLAIMING THAT DRINKING A CUP OF CURDLED EGGNOG WOULD GO DOWN EASIER. LIKE THE NEW VIDEO OR NOT, IT'S ALL FOR A GOOD CAUSE. THE PROCEEDS ARE GOING TO CHARITY. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` THE SHAREMARKET AND BUSINESS NEWS. AND IN SPORT ` WILL HE STAY OR WILL HE GO ? CRICKETER ROSS TAYLOR HITS BACK AT NZ CRICKET. If you're sceptical about an anti-ageing cream that promises results in 10 minutes, just watch this. After one application, even the look of deep lines and wrinkles are dramatically reduced. Or you can have your money back. Olay Regenerist. 1 WITH ME NOW IS BADEN CARTER FROM CRAIGS INVESTMENT PARTNERS. THIS ITEM WILL BE CAPTIONED LIVE. FOR MORE, GO TO ONENEWS.CO.NZ AND CLICK ON 'BUSINESS'. MILK COMPANY A2. WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? THEY HAVE BEEN IN A TRADING HALT FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS PENDING AN ANNOUNCEMENT THEY'VE RAISED $20M OF EQUITY FROM NEW INVESTORS AND PARTIAL SALE FROM THE MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS RAISING CAPITAL FOR EXPANSION PLANS PARTICULARLY IN AUSTRALIA AND CHINA ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THEY ARE MOVING FROM SECONDARY BOARD TO MAIN BOARD OF NZX THE PROSPECT OF ENTERING THE NZX50 INDEX UP OVER 83C WITH US HOW ARE THE MARKETS? IN GOOD HEART STILL SOME SUSPICION ABOUT THE FISCAL CLIFF NEGOTIATIONS COMMENTATORS WARY OF NO RESULTS OR NO RESOLUTION OF THAT THE US COULD TIP BACK INTO RECESSION BUT THERE IS SOME RESOLVE IN POLITICIANS TO FIND A SOLUTION THE DECISION MAY COME EARLIER RATHER THAN LATER TECH MARKETS UP STRONGLY OVERNIGHT EUROPE'S DOING WELL SO OUR MARKET IS IN GOOD HEART NEWS OUT OF GOODMAN FIELDER TOO? A COMPANY SQUEEZED BY SUPERMARKET PRICING AGAINST HIGHER COMMODITY PRICES OVER THE LAST YEAR HAS SEEN THE PACKER PART-OWNED HEDGE FUND TURN UP ON THEIR REGISTER AS A SHAREHOLDER THEY MUST SEE SOMETHINGI N THAT COMPANY INTERESTING HAPPENINGS� THE MESSY BLACKCAPS CRICKET LEADERSHIP WRANGLE HAS BEEN SETTLED FOR NOW. ROSS TAYLOR HAS BEEN STRIPPED OF THE T20 AND ONE-DAY LEADERSHIP AND HAS TURNED DOWN THE CHANCE TO STAY ON AS TEST CAPTAIN. THE SIDE'S LEADING BATSMAN HAS INSTEAD PULLED OUT OF THE TOUR OF SOUTH AFRICA. BRENDON MCULLUM WILL NOW ASSUME THE CAPTAINCY OF ALL THREE NZ SIDES. THE ENGLAND CRICKET CAPTAIN, ALISTAIR COOK, HAS MADE HISTORY BY SCORING MORE TEST CENTURIES THAN ANY OTHER ENGLISH PLAYER. HE MADE HIS 23RD CENTURY IN THE THIRD TEST AGAINST INDIA. HERE'S THE BBC'S JOE WILSON. THIS IS ONE THING IN CRICKET YOU MUST NEVER DO. EDGED,... AND DROPPED! DROPPING ALISTAIR COOK IS CLOSE TO SINFUL. HE'D MADE JUST 17 WHEN THIS HAPPENED IN KOLKATA ` PUJARA'S GUILTY HANDS. INDIA KNEW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT. COOK MADE A CENTURY. EVEN BY HIS OWN STANDARDS, RECENT WEEKS HAVE BEEN EXTRAORDINARY. TAKING THE CAPTAINCY HAS INSPIRED, RATHER THAN BURDENED HIM. HUNDREDS IN THREE CONSECUTIVE TEST MATCHES TO TAKE HIS CAREER TOTAL TO 23 ` THE RECORD. INDIA WAS WHERE IT ALL STARTED FOR COOK; FLOWN OUT IN 2006 TO REPLACE THE INJURED MICHAEL VAUGHAN, WHO NOW MARVELS AT HOW FAR COOK HAS COME. IT'S HIS MENTALITY WHICH IMPRESSES ME MORE THAN ANYTHING. AND TO SCORE THREE CENTURIES ON THE TROT ` IN THREE CONSECUTIVE TESTS IN INDIA ` TAKES A MENTALITY. BECAUSE MOST PLAYERS ` AND ME INCLUDED ` ONCE YOU GET A HUNDRED, YOU GET A LITTLE BIT COCKY; YOU GET A LITTLE BIT GIDDY; START PLAYING A FEW MORE SHOTS. YOU START YOUR NEXT INNINGS AS IF YOU'RE ON 120. WELL, HE DOESN'T DO THAT. COOK'S NOW OVERTAKEN GEOFF BOYCOTT, WHO MADE 22 HUNDREDS IN AN ENGLAND CAREER THAT SPANNED 18 YEARS. COOK'S GONE PAST WALLY HAMMOND, AND COLIN COWDREY, WHO PLAYED FOR ENGLAND FROM THE MID-'50S TO THE MID-'70S. KEVIN PIETERSEN'S JUST BEHIND HIM, BUT COOK COULD HAVE ANOTHER DECADE WITH ENGLAND. INDIA WOULD JUST LIKE TO GET RID OF HIM THIS WEEK. ENGLAND ARE ONLY 100 BEHIND, ONE WICKET DOWN, AND COOK WILL BE BACK IN THE MORNING. AND ACROSS THE TASMAN, LEFT-HANDED BATSMAN PHIL HUGHES HAS BEEN NAMED AS RICKY PONTING'S REPLACEMENT FOR THE FIRST TEST AGAINST SRI LANKA. THE ABC'S JOHN HAYES BELL REPORTS. AT 24, PHIL HUGHES HAS ALREADY PLAYED 17 TESTS, BUT TWICE HE'S LOST HIS PLACE. THE BATSMAN WHO NOW LINES UP FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIA IS THANKFUL FOR A THIRD CALL-UP. ANOTHER JUMP FOR ME. I'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, CHANCES BEFORE, BUT I'M GRATEFUL FOR THIS ONE, AND I HOPE I CAN REALLY, YOU KNOW, GET IN THERE AND REALLY CEMENT MY SPOT THIS TIME. HUGHES BEAT QUEENSLAND'S USMAN KHAWAJA, VICTORIAN ROB QUINEY AND TASMANIA'S ALEX DOOLAN FOR THE VACANCY CREATED BY RICKY PONTING'S DEPARTURE. HE'S DEVELOPED HIS GAME, AND IT'S MUCH HARDER NOW FOR BOWLERS TO, IN A SENSE, CORNER HIM. THERE'S NO ONE OUT THERE THAT CAN REPLACE RICKY PONTING. I'VE SAID THAT BEFORE. RICKY PONTING'S RICKY PONTING. HUGHES IS THE LIKELY NUMBER THREE, THOUGH THE FINAL BATTING ORDER IS CAPTAIN MICHAEL CLARKE'S DECISION. AFTER MISSING THE PERTH TEST, SEASONED CAMPAIGNERS PETER SIDDLE AND BEN HILFENHAUS ARE BACK, REPLACING THE INJURED JOHN HASTING AND JOSH HAZLEWOOD. SRI LANKA HAS STARTED ITS TOUR WITH A TOUGH DAY IN THE FIELD AGAINST THE CHAIRMAN'S 11. BLUES OPENER SCOTT HENRY POSTED A CENTURY AND CAPTAIN KHAWAJA MADE 56. FOOTBALL ` AUCKLAND CITY WAS DOMINATED BY HIROSHIMA IN THEIR FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP MATCH IN YOKOHAMA LAST NIGHT. IT TOOK 66 MINUTES FOR HIROSHIMA TO BREAK THE DEADLOCK WITH A BRILLIANT STRIKE FROM TOSHIHIRO AOYAMA. HE WAS DEFIED BY THIS OUTSTANDING AUCKLAND CITY GOALKEEPER, WHO'S GOT MORE WORK TO DO! CROWD ROARS THERE'S ONE THAT NOBODY COULD KEEP OUT. THE FIRST GOAL OF THE CLUB WORLD CUP HAS BEEN SCORED. THE 1-0 WIN MEANS HIROSHIMA WILL NOW ADVANCE TO THE CUP QUARTER-FINALS. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY, I'LL BE BACK WITH THE AFTERNOON WEATHER. NOW TO THE WEATHER. TODAY THAT COLD SOUTH-WESTERLY FLOW BRINGS SHOWERS AND CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS, BUT A HIGH STARTS TO MAKE HEADWAY ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON, BRINGING WITH IT PLENTY OF WARM SUNSHINE.
