- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 there is a noise, but the umpire says no! Full outside off. Bates clears her front leg and has a huge swish at it. Australia are very confident Bates has nicked it and after a small discussion, take it upstairs. There seemed to be a sound as the ball passed the bat. And UltraEdge confirms a healthy enough nick. Clear spike, and Australia's review works a charm. Bates has to go! 32/17.2 straight to Sutherland, and the Australia captain breaks this partnership! Fullish and following the batter outside leg. Plimmer thinks she can take on the shorter straight boundary but does not get enough on it. Arrows it and picks out Sutherland to absolute perfection. Plimmer departs after a promising start, and Australia now firmly applying the brakes! 47/2Extras6 (b 4, lb 1, w 1)TOTAL137/2 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Suzie Bates, 3.6 ov), 2-47 (Georgia Plimmer, 7.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.6 caught on the fence, and NZ finally have a wicket! Angled in on a length on middle and leg. Voll looks for that pick-up stroke and while she gets a good piece of it, she is hitting to the longer side. Carson at deep square leg settles herself and takes it reverse-cupped in front of her face. Surely too little, too late, though! 123/112.2 NZ are very interested in the caught-behind, and the umpire wants to check if this has carried! Full in the fifth stump channel. Nips away a touch and Litchfield, looking to work it to leg, seems to get a tickle through to the keeper, who does well to dive forward and snaffle it. Just a check now for if the catch is clean, and replays confirm that is the case. Litchfield has to go! 131/2Extras8 (lb 4, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL138/2 (13.3 Overs, RR: 10.22)Fall of wickets: 1-123 (Georgia Voll, 10.6 ov), 2-131 (Phoebe Litchfield, 12.2 ov)
