twenty seventh over: New Zealand 118-8 (Amy Satterthwaite 43, Lea Tahuhu 20) Huge attraction from Australia for lbw on Tahuhu going through Gardner! The White Ferns evaluate. Supply is nice, however did it make contact with bat? Nope, it’s pad first. However ball monitoring exhibits it has pitched exterior leg! Protected. Can this pair construct a partnership at loss of life’s door?
22:40
twenty sixth over: New Zealand 116-8 (Amy Satterthwaite 42, Lea Tahuhu 19) It’s Satterthwaite’s flip to place some runs on the board with two fours of her personal. In opposition to Wellington she locations it completely over mid-wicket. The second is a mishit, an edge that races away behind and previous the keeper. That’s a bit fortunate, however she’ll take it.
22:37
twenty fifth over: New Zealand 106-8 (Amy Satterthwaite 33, Lea Tahuhu 18) Tahuhu goes for it, and he or she might as properly at this level. Exit swinging, as they are saying. She exams Ash Gardner on her first over after which swipes over cowl for 4. Two balls later she scoops one other excessive, a catch-in-waiting that King can’t fairly take. The ball scoots away to the ropes for one more 4. She’s introduced up NZ’s century at the very least.
22:33
twenty fourth over: New Zealand 95-8 (Amy Satterthwaite 32, Lea Tahuhu 8) Tahuhu hits Wellington for six! She connects completely with the supply and sweeps up and over. It’s nearly a executed deal howeverMooney is there, and we’ve seen what Mooney can do. She takes a brave leap. She’s simply in entrance of the ropes and searching up into the solar, which doesn’t assist her trigger as she back-steps into the boundary and the ball sails previous. That was good to look at.
22:30
Wicket! Rowe 6 c Perry b Schutt
twenty third over: New Zealand 87-8 (Amy Satterthwaite 31, Lea Tahuhu 1) That is absolutely probably the most easy catches of Parry’s distinguished profession. Schutt roles over her supply, Rowe is static and might’t set herself. She pops it up and Perry says thanks very a lot. Lea Tahuhu is available in and faces two balls for no return earlier than pumping the third straight down the bottom for one.
22:24
twenty second over: New Zealand 85-7 (Amy Satterthwaite 30, Hannah Rowe 6) The tail wags somewhat as Satterthwaite smacks a 4 previous cowl. Wellington tries once more and he or she flat misses earlier than selecting up a single and watching Rowe drive for 2.
Up to date
22:23

Wicket! Jensen 0 c McGrath b Wellington
twentieth over: New Zealand 73-7 (Amy Satterthwaite 24, Hannah Rowe 0) Hayley Jensen has barely taken her place and he or she’s out for a golden duck! Wellington sends her supply exterior off and Jensen is off steadiness, popping the ball excessive sufficient for McGrath to take the catch at cowl level. Jensen was invited into that and received executed hook, line and sinker. A heat welcome to Hannah Rowe.

22:17
Wicket! Martin 19 lbw b Wellington, New Zealand 73-7
Lanning is tweaking her fielding set-up with every ball. She doesn’t even want them although as a result of Wellington has executed all of it herself. She’s not the quickest of the spinners but it surely’s full-flighted and lands at Martin’s toes if not on them. The batter has began strolling earlier than the umpire has even given the sign.
22:13
nineteenth over: New Zealand 70-5 (Amy Satterthwaite 22, Katey Martin 18) There’s a cry of “come on Schutter” as she mixes up her deliveries and forces the batters to regulate principally with each ball they face.Satterthwaite steals a single however nearly pays for it together with her wicket, solely marginally making it again to her crease. Had the fielder made a direct hit she wouldn’t have been so fortunate.
There’s a little bit of a break in proceedings after the over as Martin takes trip to speak to coaches. The umpires are there too. It’s unclear what the issue is, if it’s harm or if she’s feeling unwell. She hasn’t taken a success. After a few minutes she places again on her helmet and continues.
18th over: New Zealand 68-5 (Amy Satterthwaite 21, Katey Martin 17) Wellington is giving nothing away, bar a few singles. Australia’s bowling has been … compact. Ungenerous. Unyielding.
Right here’s Beth Mooney’s catch from earlier. Effectively well worth the watch.
22:04
seventeenth over: New Zealand 66-5 (Amy Satterthwaite 20, Katey Martin 16) One other bowling change-up with Schutt coming in. A lot later than anticipated, however in nonetheless. Her opening over is marked by two wides.
22:01
sixteenth over: New Zealand 61-5 (Amy Satterthwaite 18, Katey Martin 15) Now we have some spin for the primary time! Leggie Amanda Wellington makes her entrance. I’ve cracked open some Easter eggs to mark the event. I’m conscious it’s not but Easter however chocolate tastes higher in Easter egg type. I’m a type of individuals on the grocery store two months early, pouncing on the low-brow Cadbury specials. However we digress. Martin drives Wellington’s first supply however will get no runs for her efforts. She evades the slips in her second for a single earlier than she and Satterthwaite commerce singles.
Up to date
21:57
fifteenth over: New Zealand 57-5 (Amy Satterthwaite 16, Katey Martin 13) NZ are settling somewhat bit, at an important time, and make two boundaries in opposition toMcGrath. Satterthwaite hits the primary. Cuts it, extra precisely. Martin follows together with her personal 4, pouncing early for a pull shot that races away to the ropes. One other couple of singles makes for a fruitful over.
21:52
14th over: New Zealand 47-5 (Amy Satterthwaite 11, Katey Martin 8) Brown takes over fromMcGrath once more. She bowls two dot balls to Satterthwaite, who then hits her for 3 to cowl. Martin has a crack and her timing is off on the primary ball however she has her eye in for the second and takes a few runs with a pleasant chip previous mid-wicket. Time for drinks.
21:48
Thirteenth over: New Zealand 42-5 (Amy Satterthwaite 8, Katey Martin 6) Apparently, Australia’s run rating was nearly an identical on the Thirteenth-over mark of their innings. That they had 44. The principle distinction, after all, is that they had been 44-1.
21:46
twelfth over: New Zealand 41-5 (Amy Satterthwaite 7, Katey Martin 6) I can hardly sustain. Mackay fell within the first ball of this over and earlier than it’s out Katey Martin, who has actually simply come to the crease, is given out for lbw. However this one too is reviewed and efficiently. There was bat on that, she’s edged it (simply), and is protected for now. Thoughts you, she’d simply hit Brown for 4 on her second ball and stole a fast two runs two balls thereafter, which is extra to say than her previous teammates.
21:43
Wicket! Mackay 1 lbw b Brown
That is dire. Dire straits. Darcie Brown, the sultan of swing, opts for one straight down the center that smashes Mackay within the pads and appears plumb. Umpire calls lbw however New Zealand don’t suppose so – or they’re simply determined – and evaluate it. It’s pad first and line is nice.
21:39
Wicket! Inexperienced 3 c Healy b McGrath
eleventh over: New Zealand 35-4 (Amy Satterthwaite 7, Frances Mackay 1) TahliaMcGrath makes her manner up for her first over of the innings and it takes her a measly 4 balls to exert her affect and take one other wicket. It’s regulation, too, a seamer that Inexperienced pokes exterior off-stump and Healy is there for a simple catch. Frances Mackay walks out simply in time for Satterthwaite to pump a 4.
21:33
tenth over: New Zealand 29-3 (Amy Satterthwaite 2, Maddy Inexperienced 3) Brown seems to be to be on her solution to a maiden over to Inexperienced till the latter drives by way of further cowl for 2. Earlier than that she was compelled to defend primarily. Brown has conceded 11 runs and brought two wickets from 5 overs. Energy play is over as of now. At this level in Australia’s innings they’d misplaced one wicket. For the Kiwis it’s three.
21:29
ninth over: New Zealand 27-3 (Amy Satterthwaite 2, Maddy Inexperienced 1) Appears windy on the market. The broadcasters are doing their broadcasting factor and zooming in on timber swaying within the breeze. A strategically positioned digital camera additionally captures an ICC flag fluttering round. The punters on the hill don’t appear to thoughts the windy Welly circumstances. Undoubtedly they’re extra involved with what is occurring on the sphere. Perry bowls an over that includes one single apiece for Satterthwaite and Inexperienced.
21:26
Wicket! Bates 16 c McGrath b Brown
eighth over: New Zealand 25-3 (Amy Satterthwaite 1, Maddy Inexperienced 0) Will this flip right into a collapse of all proportions? I don’t need to be presumptive, however the strain seems to be attending to the White Ferns. Bates tries a pull shot, presumably to interrupt the run drought of the previous few overs. She does it regardless of being crowded by Brown’s barrelling, shortish supply. It catches the highest edge and McGrath is at mid-wicket ready for it. It’s Maddy Inexperienced’s flip.
21:20
seventh over: New Zealand 24-2 (Suzie Bates 16, Amy Satterthwaite 0) The Kiwis are on the again foot, figuratively and actually – Australia’s assault are usually not giving an inch. Brown has no real interest in leaking low-cost runs and he or she offers solely a fast single to Bates on this over.
21:16
Wicket! Amelia Kerr 1 c Mooney b Brown
sixth over: New Zealand 23-2 (Suzie Bates 15, Amy Satterthwaite 0) What a catch from Mooney! That rivals Inexperienced’s from earlier within the day. Brown is on music and once more at an excellent size Kerr wraps her palms round her bat and drives exhausting, however Mooney is at second slip with an outstretched arm and a hand that doesn’t make a mistake. Gone for one. NZ are absolutely in deep you realize what proper now. Amy Satterthwaite is up and provides Brown 4 dot balls to open her innings.
21:12
Wicket! Devine 6 b Perry
fifth over: New Zealand 23-1 (Suzie Bates 15, Amelia Kerr 1) Devine has her first boundary! She was excellent within the World Cup warm-up match in opposition to Australia and that is the primary signal on this one among what she will be able to do. However she ain’t gonna get the possibility this time. Perry bowls extensive of the crease and the ball curves in. Bates iscaught out by the good supply and her personal indecision, overwhelmed on the within edge because the ball hits the leg stump. Huge wicket for Australia. Proper-hander Amelia Kerr makes her manner out to the crease.

21:05
4th over: New Zealand 18-0 (Suzie Bates 15, Sophie Devine 2) Brown is having a area day with the brand new ball. Her line and size is on level and that late swing is inflicting points, beating the skin edge. The batter finds herself somewhat crowded on the penultimate ball however nonetheless manages a chip with sufficient momentum for 2 runs, and repeats the feat with a assured pull stepping as much as a shorter ball.
21:02
third over: New Zealand 13-0 (Suzie Bates 11, Sophie Devine 1) Perry pitches barely brief and somewhat extensive permits Bates to bat straight, and straight she does bat by way of further cowl for a 4. Blended over from Bates, who judged a pair properly but in addition mistimed a minimize off a size supply.
20:58
2nd over: New Zealand 7-0 (Suzie Bates 5, Sophie Devine 1) Devine is off the mark going through a full-tossing Darcey Brown. No Megan Schutt to start out within the bowling, fascinating. Brown’s subsequent ball is flawless and attracts flaws from Bates, who’s lured into an tried drive which she clear misses because the ball swings late and violently away.
20:53
Emma Kemp
1st over: New Zealand 3-0 (Suzie Bates 3, Sophie Devine 0) Thanks Megan and hi there all. Effectively Gardner completed off Australia’s innings in wonderful vogue as New Zealand slipped somewhat off the pedestal they’d occupied all through a lot of their opponents’ innings. It’s not a simple goal, 270. What can they do? Bates and Devine are on the crease, the previous is on strike. Perry opens the assault, kicking off with an inswinging full toss. A few dot balls are adopted by a large. Bates is late to the following supply however the one after that could be a cracker of a drive that yields three runs as McGrath chases it down simply shy of the boundary.

Megan Maurice
Effectively thanks a lot for becoming a member of me for the primary innings of this key match. I’m handing over to Emma Kemp now who will take you thru New Zealand’s batting innings. Paul Cockburn has famous through electronic mail that it’s normally well-liked to bat first on the Basin, so perhaps that can come into play in a while. Hope you get pleasure from the remainder of the match – I’ll be again to cowl one other match with you quickly!
20:23
Australia 269-8
It was a really sturdy end from Australia and New Zealand will likely be disillusioned they misplaced management late within the innings. However they’ve some massive hitting energy and this rating actually isn’t out of their attain. Australia will keep in mind their heat up recreation the place they set NZ a rating over 300 and weren’t capable of defend it. Australia must take wickets early and recurrently in the event that they hope to win this recreation. It’s actually a recreation that may go both manner at this level and the way in which each groups begin the following innings will likely be essential.
20:19
fiftieth over: Australia 269-8 (Ash Gardner 48, Megan Schutt 0)
And naturally it’s Tahuhu to bowl the ultimate over, NZ will likely be hoping she will be able to hold this rating in verify. It’s an excellent begin with Wellington run out early, however Gardner can’t be contained and he or she takes two boundaries from the following two balls. Tahuhu beats her on the following ball and Gardner can’t get bat on it. She hits the following one straight within the air and it must be a easy catch for Rowe, however she has an excessive amount of time to consider it and fumbles it. Gardner punishes her with a six subsequent ball.
20:16
WICKET! Amanda-Jade Wellington 1 run out Mackay, Australia 253-8
An excellent underarm throw from Mackay will get Wellington out making an attempt to seize a fast single.
Rowe comes on to bowl the penultimate over and Gardner takes her on instantly, but it surely doesn’t fairly attain the boundary this time. Gardner retains going although and some balls later strikes a six straight down the bottom and follows it up with a second consecutive six. Rowe bounces again with two wonderful brief balls that she dug in very well and forces Gardner to take her first two dot balls.
Tahuhu is again for this over, however Gardner isn’t intimidated, getting on strike on the second ball and instantly hitting it again over Tahuhu’s head for a formidable six. King tries to do the identical a few balls later, however she doesn’t pay money for it and he or she has to go for 2.
