    5.4 fullish length on fourth stump, Bezuidenhout tries to muscle this over mid-off but miscues it off the splice and it floats up gently to the fielder Athapaththu, who takes two steps forward from the ring and lunges forward for the take at knee height. 46/1
    19.3 flights a ball landing back of a length at 63 kph/39 mph on fifth stump, Bates premeditated a charge and the lack of pace results in her swinging past the ball. It nearly bounces twice before reaching the keeper and Bates has given up and continues walking before the keeper takes the bails off. 156/2
    19.5 full again on the stumps, another charge and heave to cow corner for a long single. They turn back for a suicide second with just one ball left in the innings and Kerr is inches short when the bails are taken off by the bowler following a relay from the boundary. 159/3

    3.6 full on off stump, goes to slog sweep this but picks out one of the two boundary riders in the Powerplay, this one stationed at deep midwicket and Plimmer takes a simple catch 10 yards in the rope at chest height. 22/1
    7.3 good length ball skids on toward middle, Athapaththu plays around her pads and is struck on the knee roll on the front pad but stuck on the crease. LBW shout denied. Looked very straight and New Zealand quickly call for a review. Ball-tracking shows this is hitting a fleshy part of leg stump just below the bails. Three reds light up. Decision overturned! 33/4
    4.4 Bates is having a wondrous match! Fullish length ball on off, the teenager charges down the pitch trying to clear mid-on and skies a slog over the bowler. Bates runs back 20 yards from mid-on and takes a phenomenal catch in stride with her hands in front of her face while tumbling backward. She rotated sideways at the last moment to get squared up facing the ball but positioned her body while tumbling to cushion the catch attempt perfectly. 23/2
    5.4 bullseye! Full inswinging yorker beats a flick across the line and shaves leg stump a quarter of the way up. Very sharp movement from Kerr. It pitched around middle and off and barely clipped leg stump. 24/3
    8.4 plays onto her stumps! 108 kph/67 mph delivery lands full on fourth stump, goes to drive and drags an inside edge into the pads that caroms onto middle stump. 35/5
    10.5 fullish length on fourth stump, goes to drive and miscues this badly to short extra cover. The ball balloons gently to Amelia Kerr, who takes a simple catch at head height. 40/6
    11.3 bullseye! Zings this in much fuller, quicker and straighter on the stumps at 91 kph. Ranasinghe plays across the line trying to flick through midwicket and misses. Middle stump is rattled halfway up. 45/7

    15.5 bullseye! Loopy low full toss at 73 kph/45 mph, Shehani swings across the line over the top of this ball and it bounces into the base of middle stump. Kulasuriya won't come out to bat with the injured shoulder so that's it for Sri Lanka. New Zealand win by 102 runs. 60/10
    12.1 good length ball inside edged into the pads and trickles away behind the stumps toward gully. Major confusion as the non-striker calls for a run while Kumari stays put. Bezuidenhout charges forward, picks up and underhands down the pitch calmly toward Tahuhu standing in front of the stumps. Kumari is going to be out by six yards but the underarm flick is so good from the keeper at 25 yards away that it skids along the ground straight into the stumps without any help from Tahuhu. 47/8
