Devine to Nilakshi de Silva, FOUR, fifty off just 26 balls from Nilakshi de Silva - easily the fastest of the tournament! Her teammates are on their feet in applause! Full in the slot, swipes it across the line and finds the gap between long-on and deep midwicket. 250 up for Sri Lanka as well

Devine to Nilakshi de Silva, FOUR, stinker of a delivery! Slower loopy full toss down leg, Nilakshi pounces on it and sweeps hard past short fine

Devine to Piumi Badalge, out Caught by Bree Illing!! Makes room to go over the off-side but only manages a thick edge to short third. Piumi Badalge never got going out there.

Piumi Badalge c Bree Illing b Devine 7(15) [4s-1]

Devine to Nilakshi de Silva, FOUR, Nilakshi continues to roll! Short of length on off, she initially shapes to scoop but then makes a late adjustment and pulls off the reverse-scoop instead. What a blinder of a knock this is already

Eden Carson to Nilakshi de Silva, no run, is that another missed stumping? Difficult again for Gaze. Length ball on off, Nilakshi shimmies down, looks to sweep but misses.

Devine to Kavisha Dilhari, out Caught by Bates!! Fails to clear mid-off! Dilhari falls early in an attempt to go for her shots straightaway. Didn't want to waste much time out there.

Kavisha Dilhari c Bates b Devine 4(4) [4s-1]

Devine to Kavisha Dilhari, FOUR, down on one knee goes Dilhari and gets off the mark in style! Halfway down the pitch from Devine, not a great delivery and it's been smashed through square leg

Bree Illing to Harshitha Madavi, out Caught by Isabella Gaze!! Cramped for room and gone! Back of a length close to off, she looks to cut but the width isn't there.

Rosemary Mair to Vishmi Gunaratne, out Bowled!! Rosemary Mair strikes timber. Hits the top of off. Vishmi Gunaratne has to go back. She was playing anchor but has to go now. She tried to punch that into the off-side but failed to get behind the line of the delivery and missed the line to be bowled. Excellent delivery from Rosemary Mair and NZ have sent back both openers into the hut. Vishmi Gunaratne b Rosemary Mair 42(83) [4s-3]

Devine to Chamari Athapaththu, out Caught by Green!! Finally a catch has been taken. The slower ball well outside off, Chamari Athapaththu looked to drill it and slices the ball. The fielder in the deep, came in and takes it. NZ have struck finally. Chamari Athapaththu wanted to lift the run rate a little but has perished in the cause. Massive boost this should be for the NZ team. Devine has delivered. Chamari Athapaththu c Green b Devine 53(72) [4s-7]

Amelia Kerr to Vishmi Gunaratne, 2 runs, tipped over the bar! 100 up. That was a tossed up delivery, Vishmi Gunaratne got too close to the ball and looked to loft it. The fielder at mid-on mistimed her jump a little and palmed it over. Two more added

Bree Illing to Chamari Athapaththu, FOUR, Athapaththu is looking in good touch today. Fullish delivery outside off, she opens the bat face and drives it square of the wicket. Even holds the pose for the cameras..
