    Things are starting to run New Zealand's way here now.

  2. 6 runs

    NZ 70-2

    Can New Zealand take advantage?

    Ash Gardner is brought into the attack and is immediately pumped into the stands by Sophie Devine.

    Fetch.

  3. Perry makes her way off the field. Surely she won't bowl again in this match after that. It doesn't look good for the rest of the tournament if Australia win today to progress.

    Big moment.

  4. Alister Nicholson
    BBC Test Match Special

    There's real concern here. She can barely put any weight on her right leg.

  5. ouch!

    But what has happened here?! Australia's star all-rounder Ellyse Perry looks close to tears after a piece of fielding. I'm no doctor but it looks like her hamstring has gone.

  6. NZ 64-2

    Target 156

    Green gets one that keeps incredibly low after that six and unsurprisingly can't get the ball away. It didn't get more than a few inches off the ground.

    Uneven bounce is the last thing New Zealand need.

  7. Kristen Beams
    Ex-Australia leg-spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That's a big shot from Maddy Green, and that was her strength in the WBBL, hitting straight.

  8. Alister Nicholson
    BBC Test Match Special

    What a way to get off the mark.

  9. 6 runs

    NZ 62-2

    More of that needed! Maddy Green finally gets off the mark with a six over long-on.

  10. Australia helped New Zealand early on with some sloppiness but the last three overs have belonged to the team in green and gold.

  11. Alister Nicholson
    BBC Test Match Special

    It's acceleration time for New Zealand... or curtains!

  12. NZ 55-2

    Need 101 runs from 60 balls

    You can see the pressure on Maddy Green. She has faced six deliveries and is yet to score.

    Surely someone is going to have to have a swing? New Zealand are out if they lose.

  13. NZ 54-2

    There have been seven dots in a row now. New Zealand are going nowhere.

  14. NZ 54-2

    Target 156

    Just one from Carey's excellent over. That required rate is now to a tricky 9.27.

    New Zealand need 102 from 66 balls to win and reach the semi-finals.

  15. NZ 54-2

    The home crowd applauds as Nic Carey backs up Wareham with a few more dots. Maddy Green can't get off the mark.

  16. NZ 54-2

    This has surely swung back to Australia now. New Zealand were just edging ahead with their experienced duo going well.

    Wareham was mobbed by her team-mates when the replay was shown on the big screen.

  17. Corbin Middlemas
    BBC Test Match Special

    That's an unbelievable referral and results in a huge wicket.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Bates lbw b Wareham 14 (NZ 53-2)

    A big, big wicket and an excellent review. The ball-tracking shows the ball would have gone on to hit a decent amount of middle stump.

    It didn't look right at first but Bates was very deep in her crease and that's what cost her.

  19. Bates hasn't hit it...

  20. Sarah Elliott
    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Test Match Special

    It's going to come down to height.
