and that's it! A short ball is hammered through midwicket to seal the victory
NZ Women vs ENG Women, Final at Chelmsford, Jul 01 2018 - Ball by Ball Commentary
ENG Women won by 7 wickets (with 17 balls remaining)
England win by seven wickets and take the tri-series in very convincing style. It wasn't a contest today once New Zealand's opening stand had been broken. Katherine Brunt's two in three balls changed the momentum then England's spinners took 4 for 46 in their combined eight overs. The run chase was a canter once Tammy Beaumont and Danni Wyatt got going. England now move into a one-day series against New Zealand before the KSL begins.
Hypocaust: "Sciver & Knight's 39* partnership at the end was higher than any New Zealand manged for the 4th wicket or lower on the whole tri-series." And there's one of the major differences. The depth in the England side.
Well played to England, another trophy in their cabinet, at the end of an enjoyable tri-series. Thanks for joining me today and see you again soon.
swings across the line of quite a full delivery and finds deep square...scores are level
dragged down short and pulled out to deep midwicket
doesn't quite get to the pitch but still goes through the swipe into midwicket
the captain tries the reverse sweep, doesn't quite come off, takes a bottom edge into the pads and trickles to short third man
uses her feet then pushes down the ground to long-on
goes back and chops this into the pitch, finds cover
Just six needed for victory, Kasperek returns
steps outside leg and drives to mid-off, a direct hit would have been close as Sciver dived for her ground at the non-striker's end
full at the stumps, played firmly to mid-on but the single can't be stopped
goes back to a slightly shorter delivery and drives to mid-on
full outside off, opens the face and dabs to short third man
paddle-sweeps a length delivery from outside off to deep square leg
short of a length outside off, driven to deep cover
short outside off, perhaps another googly, Sciver on the back foot and pulls to deep midwicket
cut from outside off into the covers
a googly, touch short, pulled through midwicket
short of a length outside off, cut wide of the cover sweeper but they stay at a single
too much air this time, wrong line too, a full toss down the leg side and it's swept to fine leg
full and straight, calmly driven to mid-off
Hat-trick ball for Kerr...
Well, that over has all-but killed off any chance of a late turnaround for New Zealand
lovely bit of touch, angles a length delivery fine of third man with an open face
