- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 Top edge and that is that for Bates tonight! Se never looked to get the pace of the track and falls trying to force it. Sutherland digs it short and outside off, Bates makes room and looks to go hard at it, hitting across the line. All she manages it to sky it up for Healy to pouch it after taking a few steps to her left. The set batter is gone for New Zealand now 70/43.2 skewed to backward point off the toe of the bat! A bit of a nothing shot. Short and wide, she tries to cut but is through the shot too soon, it balloons off the toe of the bat and floats to backward point. Simple catch for Molineux 18/14.1 hammered straight to mid-on! Tossed up outside off, in Kerr's arc, she tries to slog sweep but it was a touch full perhaps to get under and she hammers it flat and hard straight to Sutherland who makes the catch look easy 25/27.1 Halliday misses a full toss and is hit plumb infront! She reviews but this is in pure hope by the looks. Although it is tight to the line of leg ... Loopy leg break tossed up on a leg stump line. She tried to strangely paddle sweep it and missed it despite it being an ankle high full toss. It's umpire's call on impact as it hit the pad in line with leg. Going onto smash middle and leg. Halliday goes. 44/317.3 Catching practice for Graham, the set Green is gone now. Schutt bowls a slower one on a back of a length outside off, 888kph, Green walks across to play the paddle but does so straight to short fine leg 122/612.5 Huge appeal and given! Gaze opts to take it upstairs. Smart bowling this. Graham spears in a legcutter on a length at 99.8kph, Gaze looks to clip it away but is done in by the grip and away movement. She's beaten on the outside edge and is hit flush on the front pad. Three reds on the Hawk-Eye and Gaze takes a review with her 96/519.5 Full and just outside off, lofts it just wide of McGrath at mid-off. But, oh no, there's a horrible mix-up and Kasperek is run-out. She wanted to get Kerr back on strike and rushed back for the second, but Kerr was ball-watching and dived to make her ground at the bowler's end. Schutt first broke the stumps at her end and then threw the ball to Healy, who did the rest 141/7Extras14 (b 12, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL143/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.15)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Georgia Plimmer, 3.2 ov), 2-25 (Amelia Kerr, 4.1 ov), 3-44 (Brooke Halliday, 7.1 ov), 4-70 (Suzie Bates, 10.2 ov), 5-96 (Isabella Gaze, 12.5 ov), 6-122 (Maddy Green, 17.3 ov), 7-141 (Leigh Kasperek, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 caught behind! Bounced out! Cracking bouncer at the badge of Mooney's helmet, she was cramped and hurried trying to get inside the line to pull and it just brushes the glove through to Gaze. Great piece of bowling from Penfold 19/15.5 toed to cover! Soft dismissal. Healy was a bit frantic there. Kasperek tossed high and wide of off, Healy was through the shot way too soon and not committed as it drifted away from her, she toed it high to cover and it is an easy catch 44/26.1 clean bowled! Perry tries to tee up Tahuhu first ball and it's full and straight, a hint of nip in, Perry shuffles down and swings across the line and misses and loses her leg stump! 44/311.1 Timberrrrr! What a move this is. Penfold strikes with the first ball of her spell. Goes wide of the crease and angles it in on off on a length, McGrath goes for the drive but is beaten on the outside edge and sees her wood-work shattered 85/417.4 Halliday's magic arm works! Bowls a back-of-the-arm ball on a length outside off, Wareham looks to thrash it through the off side but is early into the shot. Gets it off the cue end back towards Halliday, who laps it up with both hands. "Australia wouldn't have seen a lot of her," Amelia Kerr, who's mic'd up, said on air when she came on, and it has worked 135/5Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL145/5 (18.4 Overs, RR: 7.76)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Beth Mooney, 3.1 ov), 2-44 (Alyssa Healy, 5.5 ov), 3-44 (Ellyse Perry, 6.1 ov), 4-85 (Tahlia McGrath, 11.1 ov), 5-135 (Georgia Wareham, 17.4 ov)
