    New Zealand are keeping themselves in this. Izzy Gaze needs to try and get herself going.

    Will Australia bring Darcie Brown in, because she has been expensive today?

  2. NZ 185-5published at 37 overs

    Target 327

    Izzy Gaze gets off the mark after four deliveries, chipping the ball into the leg-side and darting through for a single.

    Devine drops one into the covers to retain the strike. Seven away from a century.

    That would have been a brilliant catch from Sophie Molineux. She dove right out but couldn't quite get there.

    A great effort.

    Dropped catch - Devine on 91published at 36.2 overs

    A lifeline for Sophie Devine on 91!

    The ball squirts off her bat and flies towards a diving Sophie Molineux at backward point, who gets her right hand to it but can't hold on.

    It feels mean to call that a drop.

    Darcie Brown is looking a little bit perplexed. She has tried a few different things and nothing seems to have worked.

  6. NZ 180-5published at 36 overs

    Target 327

    Sophie Devine is unruffled by the run-out (or she's letting out some rage).

    She hits four consecutive fours off the expensive Darcie Brown (0-38 from three overs).

    Down the ground, short and pummelled through point, slow and slapped into the leg-side, guided through backward point. Lovely 360 batting. Devine moves into the 90s.

  7. NZ 164-5published at 35 overs

    Target 327

    Two runs and a wicket from the 35th over - Australia will be happy with that.

    Sophie Devine was never coming through for that single. New Zealand just need to be grateful that she is the one still there to keep them in this.

    A total mix up there! That is another gifted run out for Australia.

    Green run out (Brown/Healy) 20 (NZ 164-5)

    Well, that was a little calamitous.

    Maddy Green wanted the single. Sophie Devine, at the non-striker's, didn't show any interest.

    Green's shot is straight to Darcie Brown and when the ball comes in to Alyssa Healy, Green is nowhere in sight.

  11. NZ 162-4published at 34 overs

    Target 327

    Guess what Alana King is doing? Yup, her hands are back on her head. Maddy Green has tickled her away through third for four.

    Green follows it up by driving King down the ground for four more.

    New Zealand have injected a bit of oomph into proceedings since drinks.

    You feel that Sophie Devine is going to have to go soon. It would be wise for Australia to bring Sophie Molineux in as Devine loves the spin from Alana King.

  13. NZ 150-4published at 33 overs

    Target 327

    Australia quickly make amends for the fielding mishap in the previous over, with Sophie Molineux and Darcie Brown both saving boundaries with sharp running around the rope.

    Four runs off the first three balls followed by three dots. 150 up for New Zealand.

    Here's a reminder of some of the New Zealand wickets to fall...

  15. NZ 146-4published at 32 overs

    Target 327

    Alana King has her hands on her head. Phoebe Litchfield took aim at the stumps and had she hit, Maddy Green would have been well short at the non-striker's end.

    Two balls later, King's hands are on her head again after a sloppy bit of fielding allows Green's sweep to race away to the rope.

    Target 327

    Ooooooh that would have been an absolute screamer. Ash Gardner launches herself at the ball but can't hold on and it trickles away to the rope.

    Two boundaries in the over for Sophie Devine, who moves onto 68 (82).

    Alana King tossed it up and invited Brooke Halliday to strike again. She timed it nicely but just did not get the elevation.

    Another big wicket for Australia.

    Brooke Halliday tried to go again but she went one too many. Australia do this so often.

    Halliday c Litchfield b King 28 (NZ 127-4)

    Well, it was fun while it lasted.

    Six, four, and out for Brooke Halliday, picking out Phoebe Litchfield at deep mid-wicket.

    She departs for 28 (38). New Zealand are four down. Alana King has her second wicket.
