- BATSMENRB4s6sSR15.6 Fifty and out for Devine as she holes out to deep backward square, Mooney there runs across to her left and takes it. It was a full ball outside off, she got to its pitch but could not get enough power to clear the fielder. 112/30.5 And it's a first-ball duck for Bates. Schutt roars and gets on the board in her first over. Bowls it full just outside off, Bates reaches out to play it square on the off side, ends up chopping it on. Early wicket for Australia. 6/15.2 Schutt's legcutter is too good for Plimmer! Draws her forward with a full ball on off, before cutting it away to peg back the off stump. Good little show from Plimmer ends. 39/216.6 Top-edge off the swiping flick, goes right up and is taken at backward point. It was fullish and outside off. Kerr tried to drag it but it rose more than she expected. Easy catch for Brown 122/418.4 Yorker angles in to leg, Tahuhu tries to dig it out with a flick/drive through wide long-on but misses. Leg stump is out the ground, Tahuhu can't repeat her heroics from the Sri Lanka game. 136/519.3 Pulled, it's flat and straight to deep midwicket! Mooney, with the shades, was facing the sun but did well to stay put and take it with the hands pointing up. It was shortish, outside off. There for the shot, the timing was decent but not the placement. 142/619.6 Maes room, gets it on the full toss. Slaps it to Mooney at mid-off, from where the direct hit connects at the non-striker's end. 144/7Extras12 (lb 2, w 10)TOTAL144/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.2)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Suzie Bates, 0.5 ov), 2-39 (Georgia Plimmer, 5.2 ov), 3-112 (Sophie Devine, 15.6 ov), 4-122 (Amelia Kerr, 16.6 ov), 5-136 (Lea Tahuhu, 18.4 ov), 6-142 (Brooke Halliday, 19.3 ov), 7-144 (Maddy Green, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.1 Has she been strangled down leg? Healy walks but the umpires want to have another check! Tahuhu starts with a full ball on the pads, Healy looks to collect some freebies and looks to flick it and tickles it fine to Gaze, who takes a good low catch tumbling to her left. The on-field umpire wanted to check if it carried and Gaze's had her gloves well low to take that. Massive wicket for New Zealand. 18/113.1 Tahuhu's picking wickets for fun! Lands it full and wide, Mooney reaches out and drives it aerially to deep cover. Rowe there, lunges forward and takes it. 103/44.4 THAT IS A BEAUTY! Tahuhu has the last laugh and screams her heart out after castling Lanning! Spears it full and straight, aiming for the yorker. Turns out to be a very low full toss. Turns out it was the slower one. Lanning misses the flick and it ricochets off the front pad onto the stumps. Australia rocked back early, not for the first time in this tournament. 28/210.4 Run out chance at the striker's end. The bails are dislodged, it's sent upstairs. McGrath is short, the third umpire checks if the ball is in the right hand of the keeper. Turns out it is, McGrath walks. It was a fullish ball outside off, cut to Kerr at backward point, they went for another quick single. The fielder leapt to her left, stopped it and threw it swiftly enough after swirling. The keeper ran, got it and got the bails off with one hand. 84/317.2 Stunner taken by Bates at long-on! It was a full ball on middle, Haynes had made room and tried to swipe it over cow corner. Got it off the splice, it was a skier. Bates ran in, dove forward, leaning slightly to her right and grabbed it low. Followed it with a fist pump. Maybe too late but better than never. 129/5Extras8 (b 1, lb 3, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL145/5 (19.3 Overs, RR: 7.43)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Alyssa Healy, 2.1 ov), 2-28 (Meg Lanning, 4.4 ov), 3-84 (Tahlia McGrath, 10.4 ov), 4-103 (Beth Mooney, 13.1 ov), 5-129 (Rachael Haynes, 17.2 ov)
