  1. Australia review

    Australia review! It hit Suzie Bates hit high on the pad but would it have clipped the top of the stumps?

    The umpire didn't think so.

  2. NZ 51-1

    Jonasson's replacement is leg spinner Georgia Wareham. The 20-year-old's line is wayward. It's tickled down to fine leg for four. Time for Aussies to get nervous?

  3. Jess Jonasson is shipped out of the attack. It was the spinner who took the early wicket...

    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Test Match Special

    It would have been easy for Sutherland to go down on one knee and take it conservatively, but the coaches are asking the players to be positive, aggressive and to back their hands. It didn't work this time but it will do in the future.

  5. NZ 45-1

    Need 111 more to win

    Another misfield! Australia have been untidy. Annabel Sutherland thinks she's in the game for a run out but takes her eye off the ball. It bobbles through her legs and goes for a boundary. Who will handle the pressure of this winner takes all game the better? You could argue New Zealand have been better so far in this innings.

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

    The New Zealand team needs to recognise the value of Sophie Devine and bat around her and with her.

  7. NZ 40-1

    Australia send out some more protection with the powerplay over. Seamer Nic Carey is on for a bowl. One of these two New Zealand batters needs to do what Beth Mooney did for Australia.

  8. Corbin Middlemas
    BBC Test Match Special

    At the same stage, Australia were 38-1.

  9. NZ 39-1

    Target 156

    Jess Jonasson's first bad ball is punished by Sophie Devine who flicks it out of the reach of short fine leg to the boundary. Jonasson lets out a big groan after the ball races away.

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

    It's in Australia's favour at the moment; they've bowled well in the powerplay.

  11. NZ 31-1

    Devine 7, Bates 5

    Despite the boundary there's still only six runs from the over. That won't be enough for New Zealand.

  12. NZ 30-1

    Suzie Bates has already pulled off something special in this match - the catch to dismiss Beth Mooney below - but now it's runs she needs.

    After failing to score from her first three balls the right-hander skips down and hacks Perry through mid-wicket for four.

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

    New Zealand need to be brave here if they are to stand any chance of winning.

  14. Rachel Priest had looked dangerous but is back in the shed now...

  15. NZ 25-1

    Target 156

    Suzie Bates, the number one ranked batter in Women's T20 cricket, is in at three. You feel a lot of these runs will have to be scored by these two.

    Ellyse Perry is back into the attack.

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

    I don't think it gets any more plumb than that one. Good communication from the batters not to review it.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Priest lbw b Jonassen 17 (NZ 25-1)

    That's very, very (very, very, very) out. Rachel Priest is trapped plumb lbw by Jess Jonassen who has made an excellent start with the ball.

    That should settle Australian nerves.

  18. NZ 25-0

    Jonassen has started well. Just two singles from her first four balls.

  19. Australia turn to the spin of Jess Jonassen early.

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

    This is exactly what New Zealand need from Rachel Priest - she has reduced the pressure on Sophie Devine. A good partnership is forming. They'll be pleased with the first three overs.
