Spin from both ends as Sune Luus is brought into the attack for South Africa.

She bowls a tight line and starts with four dot balls before Sophie Devine and Brooke Halliday nudge a single apiece.

Brooke Halliday is just clinical with bad balls. Just simple play really.

The New Zealand batter clinically punishes a delivery down the leg side by helping the ball on its way, down on one knee.

Later in the over Halliday crisply reverse sweeps Tryon for another four.

Hard to say what is a good score here.

Georgia Plimmer wanted to get going an increase the scoring rate. Her intention would have been to hit site-screen or mid-off. I think her intention was there, she just didn't manage to pull it off.

Thanks, Matthew. Top stint.

A bit of a war of attrition so far. With eight wickets in hand New Zealand will look to up the ante now you would imagine.

Just as Fran Wilson compliments South Africa's fielding, they miss another run-out chance. Georgia Plimmer would have been out had this throw hit.

It's time for me to step aside and let Timothy Abraham take you to the end of this innings.

South Africa have been really sharp in the field, they are a very athletic team, which is becoming more and more important because the standards are getting higher in the women's game.

Would 250 be enough? South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt said this pitch will be good for chasing?

And, for me, it's about the pressure you're adding to your partner.

If you're scoring at three runs per over yourself then the batters at the other end are going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting to get anywhere near 250.

I think Plimmer, now, will want to go again and try and get mid-off back. It gives her an easy rotation option.

Ah this is nice from Georgia Plimmer. She has decide attacking the spin of Mlaba is the way to go.

First she uses her feet and takes two slightly awkwardly over extra cover but then she repeats the shot and times it perfectly down the ground for four.

Much better from the 21-year-old and a thumbs up from Devine at the non-striker's end which must feel like a warm hug.

We are getting a sense that Plimmer is becoming frustrated with the position she finds herself in.

Sophie Devine has so much experience, this being her 300th international. The one thing she cannot do is allow the pressure from the other end to transfer onto her. Georgia Plimmer tries to use her feet in this over to Mlaba but only gets a thick edge.

There's been a noticeable increase in New Zealand's intent since drinks with their run rate for the past five overs at 6.4.

We're heading into that middle phase of the innings where more singles should be on offer to keep the score moving. Sophie Devine has the same score at Plimmer, despite batting for half of the deliveries.

Georgia Plimmer has her first boundary for 10 overs. It comes after the introduction of spin for the first time through Nonkululeko Mlaba with Plimmer flicking a straighter ball down towards the brightly coloured seats at fine leg.

Indian stadiums do colour better than most.

Sophie Devine is on the charge! This is more like it.

A flick through mid-wicket and then a textbook punch back past the stumps.

It's off Marizanne Kapp too - South Africa's trump card who has been brought back to try and dismiss the New Zealand skipper.
