- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 Meghna gets the breakthrough! Suzie Bates given the marching orders. Full and on middle and leg. It curves away just a little bit. Bates misses the whip and it looked plumb. On another look, it seems Bates wanted to go through square leg than midwicket and that perhaps did her in. 27/118.1 Rana reaps the reward for some excellent bowling. Gets the big wicket of Devine for 34. Tossed up just outside off, the ball turns in just a touch. Devine goes back to slap it through covers but the ball bounces a bit more and catches the top edge. Gayakwad runs in from point and takes a good diving catch. End of the 68-run partnership. 95/228.5 straight up and Richa takes it despite Gayakwad coming in from backward point. Kerr is gone. That is massive. Tossed up outside off, Kerr slogsweeps but the extra bounce takes the top-edge and goes to the keeper's right, she pouches it and throws the ball away in anger. India with the wicket of Kerr who has been outstanding this series 139/424.4 Gone sweeping! One shot too many for Satterthwaite, holes out in the deep. Tossed up ball outside off, the left-hander looks to take on Deepti with the sweep. Picks out Sneh Rana at deep midwicket ropes to perfection. 123/336.6 given out LBW and Rana punches the air in delight. Quicker on off and middle, Down flicks and misses, impact was pretty adjacent and height was not an issue. Would've hit middle and leg. India continue to chip away at the wickets 187/635.1 another top-edge and again a catch for Richa. Tossed up slow and Martin on the sweep can only edge it straight up. India strike and break this stand which was starting to get worrisome. Martin walks off shaking her head 177/545.5 caught at deep mid-wicket. Jensen slogsweeps flat but straight to Jhulan who makes no mistake. End of a good little cameo 225/747.6 Mackay eyes the gap on the backward square region on the leg-side, but misses the pull, it deflects off the pad and lands on the stumps. India get their 8th 234/849.6 Rowe is run-out going for the second. Driven to long-off, was never a second there, Gayakwad collects the throw and turns around to break the stumps. Rowe just short.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 Stunning catch taken! Down is on the ground after plucking it inches above the turf. The players gather around her to check if she is good. It was short and wide and asking to be hit. Verma obliged but straight to backward point. The reactions felt as if she had grassed it but it seems she has hurt herself and is now walking off the field. Early wicket for New Zealand. 29/128.3 Massive wicket! Mandhana departs and it is Amelia Kerr yet again. Tossed up ball around leg, Mandhana looks to go over midwicket but hits it straight to a kneeling down Bates there. She takes it and throws the ball away in anger. Dropped Kaur last over, but this is a huge wicket. The almost run-a-ball 64-run partnership is broken. 153/317.4 And New Zealand finally manage to get a wicket. Deepti's struggling stay in the middle ends. Jonas flights it full on off, Deepti looks to go down town. Gets done in by the flight and the top hand comes off the blade as it makes contact with the ball, Skies it off the outer half to backward point, where Mair makes no mistake. The 60-run stand ends. 89/242.1 slogged straight up and it's miles in the air, Satterthwaite from mid-wicket comes in to take the catch. End of a fine knock from Kaur 225/4Extras27 (lb 7, w 20)TOTAL252/4 (46 Overs, RR: 5.47)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Shafali Verma, 4.1 ov), 2-89 (Deepti Sharma, 17.4 ov), 3-153 (Smriti Mandhana, 28.3 ov), 4-225 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 42.1 ov)
