- BATSMENRB4s6sSR42.1 no century for Haynes! Beautiful bowling from Kerr, as she floats one up that tempts Haynes into the sweep. It pitches in line, straightens, and strikes her in front. Haynes had made some room for herself to work this away on the on side, and that makes the decision easier for the umpire. Top bowling from Kerr, and the end of a very fine innings again from Rachael Haynes, who's been in superb form right through this series 237/325.5 taken at long-off this time! Healy's fun is over. A century was there for the taking. She aimed to go over the off side, but couldn't get it either over or wide of the fielder 144/140.2 Kerr gets another! Full, around leg, and she looks to sweep, but has missed the line of that. Possibly also beaten by the flatter trajectory. Disappointed to turn around and find the ball having clipped the top of leg stump 222/245.2 length, and she looks to clear Kerr at deep midwicket, but can't! You just cannot keep Kerr out of this game, can you? Smart catch, moving swiftly forward and then keeping both hands low in front to pouch that 267/447.3 driven straight to the captain at mid-off! Rather soft as a dismissal, but perhaps a sign that the ball will stop from time to time on this used pitch. Not able to keep down an intended cover drive, and far too close to Devine 292/5Extras13 (lb 2, w 11)TOTAL325/5 (50 Overs, RR: 6.5)Fall of wickets: 1-144 (Alyssa Healy, 25.5 ov), 2-222 (Annabel Sutherland, 40.2 ov), 3-237 (Rachael Haynes, 42.1 ov), 4-267 (Ashleigh Gardner, 45.2 ov), 5-292 (Sophie Molineux, 47.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.5 taken at long leg! Gardner makes that look very easy. Sutherland bangs one in short around middle and leg, Dodd goes for the pull and it takes a top edge as the ball gets big on her. Good pace bowling 27/20.3 taken, sharp catch! Huge early blow. Dropped in a touch short, Devine went for the pull and Molineux dives to her right at short midwicket 1/115.2 tries to repeat it, taken at cover! Used her feet again, aimed over the off side this time, comes from the bottom of the bat and cover settles underneath it. Nicely bowled by Jonassen, tossed that a touch wider 54/56.1 dragged on! This falling apart early. Full outside off, Kerr goes for the drive and gets a bottom edge into the stumps 28/311.3 swipes across the line, and gone! That was pretty ugly. Floated up at the stumps, Martin comes down the pitch and heaves to the leg side. Misses. 42/421 ah, Healy and Wareham combine to remove Perkins! Tossed up around off, and Perkins looks to play the paddle sweep but allows the ball to sneak underneath. Healy collects it low to her right, and spends no time in whipping the bails off, as the batter overbalances. Sweet! She celebrates this piece of quick thinking behind the stumps, as she must. New Zealand sink just a bit further 73/623.1 Garnder among the wickets! A nothing shot from Green, as she shuffles across the stumps and stays back in her crease in looking to work it away on the on side. Gardner isn't a huge spinner of the ball, and that gives umpire Bruce Oxenford the confidence that this would have just grazed the leg stump 85/724.2 Molineux with a wicket off her second ball! Slow, turning ball, and Jensen looks to cut. A bit close to her, and she under-edges this on to the stumps. Win no.21 is that much closer now for Australia 89/825.2 gone! The angle around the wicket works for Gardner, and exactly why she went that route. Pitches around off, and then straightens. Rowe plays from within the crease, and once she missed, the leg before decision was just of academic interest 89/927 that's that! Swipes across the line to one that was a bit straighter, and misses it completely. Australia win by 232 runs, as New Zealand fall to a relentless assault by seam, pace and spin at the Allan Border Field 93/10Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL93 all out (27 Overs, RR: 3.44)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Sophie Devine, 0.3 ov), 2-27 (Natalie Dodd, 5.5 ov), 3-28 (Amelia Kerr, 6.1 ov), 4-42 (Katey Martin, 11.3 ov), 5-54 (Amy Satterthwaite, 15.2 ov), 6-73 (Katie Perkins, 20.6 ov), 7-85 (Maddy Green, 23.1 ov), 8-89 (Hayley Jensen, 24.2 ov), 9-89 (Hannah Rowe, 25.2 ov), 10-93 (Holly Huddleston, 26.6 ov)
