bottom edge to fine leg! New Zealand win A length ball at the stumps, Green swings across the line, scoots past leg stump and goes all the way. It doesn't matter how they come. What a finish.

New Zealand win by four wickets and we have a series decider in two days. That chase swung this way and that but in the end Maddy Green and Hannah Rowe got them over the line after it felt like Megan Schutt had put Australia ahead. Big word, too, for Frackie Mackay who has had an outstanding all-round day despite an injury and remember New Zealand didn't have Sophie Devine. Australia will probably consider they stumbled in the middle overs with the bat, but there wasn't much in it. I'll wrap things up there. Will be back for the final match in Auckland. Thanks for joining us today, from Andrew McGlashan it's goodbye and see you soon.
