NZ Women won by 306 runs

With the final quick falling this excellent New Zealand team complete their second comprehensive win in three days. New Zealand bowlers were all impressive, with the wickets being shared between six of the seven bowlers used. The Irish batters couldn't cope with the pace of Tahuhu and Huddleston, nor the spin when it came on. Delany top scored with 33 although with only two other batters making it into double figures. There was only ever going to be one winner of the game.

New Zealand now lead the series 2-0 and can't be caught, although there is still one more game in the series to come. It's goign to be in Clontarf on Wednesday, so I hope that you'll be able to join me then. So until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodnight from the Hills.

Match State: Drinks

We really seem to be coming into the final rites of this game, with only 2 wickets left Ireland still need another 319 runs. Got to say that it does seem very very unlikely....
