WICKET! Green lbw b Gardner 22 (New Zealand 85-7) 23rd over: New Zealand 85-6 (Green 22, Jensen 5) Target 326. Jensen has a slap at Wareham and gets her over cover for four. With nine an over needed from here, there’s little more she can do coming in with her team in such troubleGardner gets in on the act! Stuck on the crease trying to flick, that’s very, very out.22nd over: New Zealand 78-6 (Green 20, Jensen 0) Target 326. Gardner gets a chance now, replacing Jonassen. She gives Green something to work fine for four but otherwise, is right on the mark. They cut to Healy on the mic in the middle about her stumping. “I’m pretty happy with that one.” Quite right. Here it is.WICKET! Perkins st Healy b Wareham 6 (New Zealand 73-6) Brilliant wicketkeeping! Perkins tries to lap sweep Wareham and misses with the ball zipping under her bat but Healy held her pose low to the ground in order to whip the bails off in a heartbeat, giving her no chance to get her foot back. Now that Sarah Taylor has retired, the really is no better stumper in the game. Superb. 21st over: New Zealand 73-6 (Green 15) Target 326Amid all the crises we’ve faced in 2020, we must continue to recognise the climate crisis as the defining emergency of our times, and give it the sustained attention and prominence it demands.

After boundaries in each of the last four overs, Jonassen puts an end to that run, Perkins stuck until the final ball of the set, the maiden broken with a single to square leg. The tweaker has 2/16 from her five overs so far. She so rarely lets Australia down 19th over: New Zealand 70-5 (Perkins 4, Green 14) Target 326. Good conversation on the television about next year’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, where women’s T20 cricket will feature for the first time. We broke that story back in 2018 after the World T20 in the Caribbean - another great opportunity. One scoring shot in this over, Green’s third boundary, popping Wareham back over her head. Like it.18th over: New Zealand 66-5 (Perkins 4, Green 10) Target 326. Good cricket Maddy Green, getting a good stride in at Jonassen before driving her with top timing through the covers for four. She’s into double figures in a hurry. Here’s the Sattherwaite dismissal 17th over: New Zealand 60-5 (Perkins 3, Green 5) Target 326. Green gets a boundary off the outside slither of her bat but there’s plenty to like about the way she goes about her game, 16th over: New Zealand 54-5 (Perkins 2, Green 0) Target 326. Australia are every chance of sweeping this series, and winning their 21st ODI in a row - equalling the all-time record - in top style by bowling out New Zealand for a double-digit score.always looking to be positive whatever the situation WICKET! Satterthwaite c Sutherland b Jonassen 41 (New Zealand 54-5) Satterthwaite takes Jonassen over mid-on for four and tries to do it again but miscues a flighted delivery, landing in the hands of Sutherland running back with the flight of the 15th over: New Zealand 50-4 (Satterthwaite 37, Perkins 2) Target 326. Four quality dots from Wareham to Satterthwaite to begin, off strike from the penultimate ball. It’s the only run to come from the over, cold comfort that it is New Zealand’s 50th. 14th over: New Zealand 49-4 (Satterthwaite 36, Perkins 2) Target 326. “Jess Jonassen doing Jess Jonassen,” says Mel Jones on TV of Australia’s set-and-forget left-arm orthodox. Precisely. For what it’s worth, the required rate is 7.7 an over. In reality, they need Satterthwaite to play the innings of her life to have any chanceball at extra cover. Nice 13th over: New Zealand 45-4 (Satterthwaite 34, Perkins 1) Target 326. Wareham now, who is gaining a reputation as a wrist-spinner who is very difficult to get away in the middle overs, enhanced throughout this series. Sure enough, she’s right on the money here to begin, 12th over: New Zealand 42-4 (Satterthwaite 32, Perkins 0) Target 326. A wicket and a single from Jonassen’s first over. So consistent, so frugal - the best going aroundallowing just three singles to the sweeperstake. WICKET! Martin b Jonassen 3 (New Zealand 42-4) It only takes Jonassen three balls to get into the book. Martin swings and misses after dancing at the spinner and that is that - bowled middle stump. The pressure of this big 11th over: New Zealand 41-3 (Satterthwaite 31, Martin 3) Target 326. Schutt to bowl a sixth over in this spell before what I’m certain will be the introduction of spin at both ends soon enough. Of course, she finishes well, just two singles. Too good chase has completely 10th over: New Zealand 39-3 (Satterthwaite 30, Martin 2) Target 326. Ooh, there’s that bounce again from Sutherland, whacking Satterthwaite in the helmet grille when missing her hook shot. The New Zealand medico comes out to go through the usual process - the lid survives. Either side of the blow, two further inside edges - the theme of this power play - the first running away for four and the next nearly rolling back onto the stumps of the left-hander. Scrappy stuff. 8th over: New Zealand 32-3 (Satterthwaite 25, Martin 1) Target 326. Sutherland wins a false stroke from Sutherland but it doesn’t go to hand, over point for a couple. The tall seamer has done well to extract plenty of bounce from this surface - exactly what every player and coach in women’s cricket wants: lively pitches. Here’s that Kerr first-baller. Not a replay she’ll ever want to seeoverwhelmed the New 7th over: New Zealand 28-3 (Satterthwaite 22, Martin 0) Target 326. A massive total, three wickets in a hurry including New Zealand’s best two ball strikers... this is only going one way. Schutt goes on to complete a wicket maiden, the new batter Martin unable to get any of 6th over: New Zealand 28-2 (Satterthwaite 22, Kerr 0) Target 326. Big day for Sutherland, into the book after being given the chance to bat No3. What a talent. WICKET! Dodd c Gardner b Sutherland 5 (New Zealand 27-2) Top edge, gone! Gardner goes well racing around from long leg to take the chance on the boundary rope, Dodd out after taking on Sutherland’s shorter ball.her hooping inswingers 3rd over: New Zealand 13-1 (Dodd 3, Satterthwaite 10) Target 326. A lovely flick from Satterthwaite registers New Zealand’s first boundary, bisecting the fielders inside the circle on the legside. She tries to drive again through point, it’s uppish, and not far from waiting hands, but safe for a couple more. In the absence of Devine and Bates, so much now rides on the performance of the left-handerbeyond the infield.Zealand top orderWhat a mess 2nd over: New Zealand 5-1 (Dodd 2, Satterthwaite 3) Target 326. Annabel Sutherland, with increased responsbilities with the bat today at No3 (making 35) has the new ball. And she’s past Dodd’s outside edge with a beauty third ball - hitting the seam, generous bounce, lovely bowling. Just two singles, Satterthwaite and Dodd both clipping singles. After the early wicket comes the squeeze. 1st over: New Zealand 3-1 (Dodd 1, Satterthwaite 2) Target 326. The best chance New Zealand had to haul down this huge Australian score was for their captain to go big in the power play and make a dent - what a disaster, and Devine knows it. WICKET! Devine c Molineux b Schutt 0 (New Zealand 1-1) Short of a length, pulled, out! A golden duck for the skipper! Australia set the trap with The players are back on the field. For New Zealand, Sophie Devine has Natalie Dodd with her, facing to start. Megan Schutt, as always, to take the new ball. PLAY! Really happy for Tahlia McGrath. Getting an opportunity to finish this series after watching on over the last few weeks, the South Australian all-rounder made it count at the end of Australia’s innings, biffing an unbeaten 29 in 11 balls. Adam Collins Morning all. Thanks JP. A big scorecard to wake up to. “Australia have done this playing without either of Lanning or Perry in the XI for the first time since 2009,” tweets Hypocaust of the home side’s new highest score against New Zealand in an ODI. “As was evident today, Australia’s incredible depth of professional players not only leads to an array of young talent ready to step up to international level, but players such as 33 year old Rachael Haynes in the form of their life.” What a team, what a system. Now, with that a big bit of history within their grasp over the next few hours. Should be fun. Drop me a line or send me a tweettwo mid-wickets and they are Defending 325 it hardly matters any more, especially with the depth and variety of Australia’s bowling attack. But to find out, stay right here where Adam Collins will see you through to the close of play. Australia 325 Australia are chasing history today at Allan Border Field and New Zealand will have to make history to stop them. 325 is the largest score ever racked up against the White Ferns. The truth is Australia did it without breaking sweat. Healy (87) and Haynes (96) were patient early but still managed to put the bad ball away. Coming in at three Sutherland didn’t help the run-rate with a stodgy 35 but thereafter there was some clean hitting with Gardner (34), Mooney (29) and McGrath (29) all striking boundaries at will. After a decent opening spell from Mair and some early swing from Huddleston, only Kerr looked likely to take a wicket for New Zealand. Her leggies earned her 3/50 but she would have had much more impressive numbers had her colleagues held onto their chances. It was a truly horrific day in the field for the White Ferns who dropped a host of simple catches, failed to lay a glove on a few more, as well as missing an early run out opportunity.
