1w
Sutherland to Amelia Kerr, 1 wide

back of a length, sliding down leg. Good take by Healy, but that does not prevent the umpire from indulging in some more exercise

14.5
1
Sutherland to Devine, 1 run

oh! Length ball outside off. Devine looks to smash this into next week and tugs at it too much, inside-edging it just past the stumps

14.4
4
Sutherland to Devine, FOUR runs

short, wide and put away this time! The key here is that Devine holds her stroke a lot longer on this occasion. Peels the outer cover off the ball and scythes it past backward point!

14.3
Sutherland to Devine, no run

shortish outside off. There to be hit but Devine probably tries to smash the cover off it. Scuffs it towards backward point

14.2
Sutherland to Devine, no run

full on middle and leg. Devine flicks it straight to mid on

14.1
Sutherland to Devine, no run

hard length on off. Devine gets up on her toes and jabs it towards extra cover

Sutherland again. Healy up to the stumps

13.6
King to Amelia Kerr, no run

given lots of air on a full length on off. Kerr comes forward and pats it gently towards mid on

13.5
King to Amelia Kerr, no run

back of a length just outside off. Spins away a touch and also holds in the surface. Kerr chalks it off the toe-end towards the bowler

13.4
King to Amelia Kerr, no run

lobbed up again, on middle and off. Kerr advances and drills it straight to mid off

13.3
King to Amelia Kerr, no run

slower and fuller on the stumps. Kerr defends it solidly

13.2
2lb
King to Amelia Kerr, 2 leg byes

length ball sliding down leg. Kerr gets forward and then manages a tickle that takes it past the keeper for a couple of runs. Given as leg byes, so that maybe brushed the pad

13.1
King to Amelia Kerr, no run

flighted up full just outside off. Kerr comes forward and plays it back to the bowler

A much earlier foray for King than in the recent ODI series against India

end of over 134 runs

12.6
Sutherland to Devine, no run

back of a length on middle and leg. Devine plays all over it and the ball pings off the back thigh towards backward point

12.5
Sutherland to Devine, no run

fuller outside off. Pushed out straight to extra cover

12.4
Sutherland to Devine, no run

back of a length just outside off. Devine stays back and jabs it towards extra cover

Devine now has more than 4000 runs in women's ODIs, and she becomes only the third women's player to also do the double of 4000 runs and 100 wickets in this format

12.3
Sutherland to Devine, no run

shortish on middle and off and this keeps a little low. Devine adjusts in time and tugs it towards mid wicket

12.2
Sutherland to Devine, no run

very full just outside off. Devine jams down on it and digs it out towards extra cover

NZ with all the momentum in the past few overs

4
Sutherland to Devine, FOUR runs

powered to the fence! Slot ball outside off and Devine does not miss out. She winds up and belts it to sweeper cover's right!

Sutherland to continue as well
