Excellent from New Zealand. Australia have finished with just 129, that's less than New Zealand managed in the first game. A curious innings from them. Felt underpowered given all the resources they had in hand. Will need a good display in the field to defend this. Big chance for the home side to level the series. I'll be back in a few minutes for the chase.

Mackay to Gardner, OUT, high in the air, taken...full outside off, Gardner has a big swing across the line and it just goes straight up. Deserved reward for Mackay

Mark: "Why are Hayley Jensen and Thamsyn Newton in the side as bowlers if you are not going to bowl them? Would have been better to put 2 more top order batsmen in." Well, Newton has almost been worth her spot for the fielding

18.3
1
Mackay to Gardner, 1 run, short of a length, straight, pulled to deep square leg

Peter: "Terrible batting from Australia. Wasted resources and well under par." Can Ash Gardner provide a late flourish?
