Australia ruthless with the ball after Schutt's explosive first over removes both NZ openers
Gardner takes 5-12 and Schutt 2-8
Aggressive Australia pile up 173-9
Healy top-scores with 55 off 38 balls
Lanning hits 41 before being bowled by Kerr googly
Perry blazes 40 off 22 balls, including two sixes
King c Tahuhu b Jensen 1 (Aus 167-8)
Alana King tries to hit the last ball of the over over the ropes but is caught on the boundary edge. She knew she had an effective free hit with it being more important to leave Tahlia McGrath on strike for the final over.
It's going to on Tahlia McGrath now if Australia are going to get up to 180 or so.
She clobbers Hayley Jensen for four but then losing the strike with new batter Alana King now facing.
Jonassen c Green b A Kerr 0 (Aus 158-7)
And another for Amelia Kerr! This is a decent finish by New Zealand as new batter Jess Jonassen hits a full toss straight to deep mid-wicket.
Maddy Green almost spills it but clings on at the second or third attempt.
Idyllic 2.0.

Perry lbw b A Kerr 40 (Aus 158-6)
An ugly end to a majestic innings. Ellyse Perry falls over herself playing a pull-sweep.
The ball tracking has hit hitting the middle of middle.

That is as out as you can get. It couldn't get more in the middle.
This is very out.
But Ellyse Perry is out this time... isn't she? It looks like a pretty plumb lbw but she reviews.
Another glorious six from Ellyse Perry!

Tahlia McGrath at number seven seems like a ridiculous embarrassment of riches.
It's just the number one batter in the world striding out at number SEVEN now.
Tahlia McGrath is off the mark straight away.

Harris run out Jensen 14 (Aus 148-5)
Sloppy. Grace Harris has just hit back-to-back boundaries but is run out in a mix-up with Ellyse Perry. She turned for a second which probably wasn't there, is sent back and is left stranded halfway down.
Four more...
Perry 32, Harris 5
Grace Harris has strolled out at number six, not the powerful all-rounder Tahlia McGrath as I expected. It takes her just two deliveries to get into the boundary-hitting groove.
A couple of balls later Ellyse Perry dismissively advances down the pitch to Lea Tahuhu, clearing the ropes and adding six more.
How do you stop this Australia team?

Fantastic bowling from Lea Tahuhu. She has been the standout bowler for New Zealand by a long way.
Healy c Green b Tahuhu 55 (Aus 126-4)
Gone! Alyssa Healy is done by a slower ball this time as she skies the ball up into the air.
Seamer Lea Tahuhu will certainly be able to walk off the field having done her part.
She has 3-24.

They are toying with the New Zealand fielders now. Wherever Alyssa Healy wants to hit it that's where the ball goes.
