- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 taken at deep midwicket this time! That's the long boundary. Goes for the slog sweep, gets it pretty well but Gardner settles under the catch near the rope 33/16 top edge, simple catch for Healy! Jonassen changes the game with two wickets in the over. This was a shorter delivery, went for the pull but it came off the toe end and went straight up 35/215 taken at long-on! Aiming to go down the ground, perhaps drags it a little, and it's a long boundary. Perry settles underneath it 93/316.4 skews to backward point...neatly taken by Haynes. Kerr comes down the pitch, this turns a touch and takes a thick outside edge. Haynes had to back-track and took it above her head 97/515.4 that looks good, and given! Slides on from round the wicket, takes the front pad below the knee roll 95/419.1 follows her with a full delivery, fired into the pads and deflects into the stumps 122/6Extras9 (b 4, lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL130/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.5)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Sophie Devine, 5.3 ov), 2-35 (Hayley Jensen, 5.6 ov), 3-93 (Amy Satterthwaite, 14.6 ov), 4-95 (Katey Martin, 15.4 ov), 5-97 (Amelia Kerr, 16.4 ov), 6-122 (Maddy Green, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1 taken at cover, super catch! Healy comes down the pitch, makes it into a very full delivery and drives to cover where Satterthwaite dives forward to take an excellent grab. Big moment 3/11.1 edged, taken at slip! What a start for New Zealand. Short of a length, angling across Mooney, playing a forcing shot off the back foot takes the top edge and Mackay in the action again 3/211.4 gone this time! What a moment. Lanning aiming to go straight down the ground again. Doesn't get enough of it and this is a much simpler chance for Green at long on 62/43.4 dragged straight to mid-on! A shorter delivery, Haynes aims to go through the leg side but it comes from low down on the bat 14/3Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL133/4 (18 Overs, RR: 7.38)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Alyssa Healy, 0.6 ov), 2-3 (Beth Mooney, 1.1 ov), 3-14 (Rachael Haynes, 3.4 ov), 4-62 (Meg Lanning, 11.4 ov)
