- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR37.5 there's the nick. There's the wicket. The painstaking innings has ended. Nibbles one away at length, Polgampola looks to steer this down to third man but gets a thin edge through to wicketkeeper Priest. Double-strike for New Zealand. Did the prospect of a half-century play on her mind? 144/335.4 the slower delivery has done the trick. Looked to hit this over cover but ended up hitting it straight to the fielder at the edge of the ring. It was hit hard but Bates got down nice and low to her left to pluck it inches from the ground. Big break for New Zealand 141/240.1 right through the gate. Pitches this up on middle, gets this one to jag back in, Kaushalya played all around the straight one. Minute deviation off the pitch has done the trick. SL on a freefall here 149/539 whipped uppishly to deep midwicket. Both batsmen stranded at the same end. Manodara gives a few choice words to her partner. Kaushalya was never keen on the second, was she? Filthy cricket. Always two there. Kaushalya sold her down the river as she turned her back on the second. The deep midwicket fielder fired the throw to the bowler, who relayed it to the keeper 147/347.3 launched it in the air and Satterthwaite takes a smart catch running to her left from mid-on. Tries to hit it over long-on and ends up finding the outer part of the bat. Drags it to the left of mid-on, and Satterthwaite runs to her left and slides to snaffle it 176/841.5 chips one straight to square leg. This was a length ball, hint of extra bounce this time, hit on the top part of the bat. Looked like she checked her stroke as well. Played well in front of her body. The slide continues 156/645.3 comes down the track early, too early, in fact, and that allows the bowler to make the adjustment and drag the length back slightly. Weerakkody swipes across the line desperately and skies a catch to square leg 170/749.5 backed away too early to swing to the leg side but was completely deceived by the change of pace as the length ball deviates back in to hit the top of leg stump.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 huge wicket. Too full on middle, Priest makes the cardinal sin of looking to sweep. But the length just wasn't there for it. Struck plumb in front of middle.
