Jess Kerr to Lizelle Lee, FOUR! Creamed away! A little too full on this occasion plus there is width available outside off, Lizelle Lee presses on the front foot and drives it elegantly through covers for a boundary - first of the chase.

Frances Mackay to Lizelle Lee, FOUR! Through the gap! Frances Mackay pulls her length back a shade, it's around off and Lizelle Lee immediately goes deep inside the crease as she whacks it through covers for a boundary.

Jess Kerr to Laura Wolvaardt, OUT! RUN OUT! Ohh...this is disastrous for South Africa Women. They were looking so good but Lee has to walk back now in a bid to steal the third run. This is served fuller on off, Laura Wolvaardt drives it through covers and the batters take two. Suzie Bates has chased it down in the deep and now Laura Wolvaardt wants the third run on the throw. Lizelle Lee never looked ready for the third run but then decides to respond to the call. Meanwhile, in the deep, Bates parries it to Sophie Devine, an excellent tag-team effort and the skipper fires in a flat but weak throw to the keeper. Now, here is the brilliance and smart thinking from Katey Martin. She realizes that the throw won't get to her in time and hence collects the ball ahead of the stumps and flicks it to dislodge the bails. Lizelle Lee has put in a dive to get in but looks to be in trouble. The third umpire is referred and the replays find Lee short of the crease. Matter of a microsecond, had Lee responded a bit early she would have made it safely, also had Martin not collected the ball ahead of the stumps, that would have given Lee some extra time to get in.

Hannah Rowe to Laura Wolvaardt, FOUR! Crunched away! Hannah Rowe feeds room outside off, short and wide, Laura Wolvaardt latches onto it and smacks it through cover-point for a boundary. That's aerial but in the gap.

Hannah Rowe to Laura Wolvaardt, FOUR! Plenty of power on this shot and this will ease the pressure slightly. Fuller in length and on middle, Laura Wolvaardt brings her bottom hand into play and drills it wide of mid on for a boundary.

Sophie Devine to Laura Wolvaardt, FOUR! Classy! Fuller delivery, around off, Laura Wolvaardt leans into the drive and caresses it through extra cover for a delightful boundary.

Amelia Kerr to Tazmin Brits, FOUR! Another boundary now! This is fuller on off. Brits reverse-sweeps it through the backward point region for a boundary. Looks like she was just waiting for Amelia Kerr.

Lea Tahuhu to Tazmin Brits, FOUR! SHOT! This is full on off. Brits takes a step or two forward and just lifts it over mid on for a boundary. She is getting a move on now.

Amelia Kerr to Tazmin Brits, OUT! STUMPED! A classic leg spinner's wicket, this! Amelia Kerr tosses this up in the air, around off. Brits skips down the track and then looks to defend it as she fails to reach the pitch of the ball. However, the ball turns away and beats the outside edge of her blade. Martin, behind the stumps, collects the ball and whips the bails off in a flash. They appeal, it's referred and the replays find Tazmin Brits short of the crease. Also, it appears that Amelia Kerr had sensed the charge and that's why she shortened the length slightly. Great anticipation. 156 needed off 193 balls.

Lea Tahuhu to Sune Luus, FOUR! Boom! Short in length and wide outside off, Sune Luus latches onto it and smashes it past the diving point fielder for a boundary.

Amelia Kerr to Laura Wolvaardt, FOUR! Streaky! Luck this time for Laura Wolvaardt and it's another fifty for the opener. She has been the glue of this batting line-up. Tossed up outside off, Laura Wolvaardt drives but gets a thick outside edge. The ball runs past the gully fielder and scoots towards the third man region for a boundary. Third fifty in a row for Laura Wolvaardt and she continues her merry way in this tournament!

Amelia Kerr to Sune Luus, FOUR! No real risk taken again, but still a boundary for Luus! This is tossed up outside off. Luus drives this off the outside half of her blade. The ball goes through to the third man region for a boundary.

29.4
Amelia Kerr to Laura Wolvaardt, FOUR! Poor delivery and duly punished! A long hop on middle, an attempted googly, Laura Wolvaardt goes deep inside the crease and clobbers it in the gap at mid-wicket for a boundary.

32.5
Lea Tahuhu to Sune Luus, FOUR! Easy pickings! 150 up for South Africa Women! Lea Tahuhu again goes short but this time the line is down the leg side, Sune Luus swivels and pulls it fine down the leg side for a boundary.

Jess Kerr to Sune Luus, FOUR! Up and over! Slower one, full and outside off, Sune Luus waits for it to drop in her zone and lifts it over mid off for a boundary.

Amelia Kerr to Laura Wolvaardt, OUT! LBW! Amelia Kerr does the trick and New Zealand Women have finally broken through and dangerous Laura Wolvaardt walks back to the pavilion. This is flatter and pitches around leg. Laura Wolvaardt gets across and looks to work it towards the leg side. She misses and the ball hits her pads and there is a big appeal from the bowler. The umpire raises the finger. Laura Wolvaardt takes the review but the UltraEdge shows no bat is involved. The Ball Tracking rolls and it shows three reds, so the original decision stays and New Zealand Women get an important breakthrough.

37.3
Amelia Kerr to Mignon du Preez, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Amelia Kerr gets another one and New Zealand Women are still in it! This is flatter and outside off, slightly shorter in length too. Mignon du Preez looks to cut but the ball catches the outside edge of her blade and Katey Martin behind the stumps takes a sharp catch. Amelia Kerr is turning it on for New Zealand, is there a twist in the tale?

Hannah Rowe to Sune Luus, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Game on, Sune Luus is gone and it's game on now! Hannah Rowe has earned the prized scalp and this match is heading towards a thrilling finish now. Nothing special with the delivery. It's served on a fuller length outside off, Sune Luus tries to drive but gets a feather behind to the keeper and Katey Martin gets yet another dismissal to her name in this match. 59 needed off 59 balls. The replays showed that it was a slower one and credit goes to Hannah for deriving that false shot.

41.1
Frances Mackay to Chloe Tryon, FOUR! Finds the gap and this boundary will ease some pressure. Too full in length outside off, Chloe Tryon drills her drive and beats the cover fielder inside the ring for a boundary.

45.1
Frances Mackay to Chloe Tryon, OUT! TAKEN! Ohh... Chloe Tryon what have you done! This is a big wicket for New Zealand Women and Chloe Tryon is furious with herself! This is tossed up on off and Tryon senses an opportunity to go for a big one. She dances down the track and heaves it towards the deep mid-wicket region. But it's the bigger side of the ground and it goes straight down the throat of Amelia Kerr and she makes no mistake. This game is getting quite intense and tight!

Lea Tahuhu to Marizanne Kapp, FOUR! What a timely boundary by Kapp! Poor delivery this, back of a length, around leg. Kapp pulls it fine towards the long leg fence for a boundary.

47.1
Frances Mackay to Trisha Chetty, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Needless from Trisha Chetty and she pays the price for going for a big shot. This is slower in the air, on off. Chetty goes low and looks to slog-sweep it but gets a huge top edge. The ball goes high in the air and Frances Mackay takes a step back and settles under to take a fine catch near the stumps at the non-striker's end. This game is still not over folks!

48.2
Sophie Devine to Shabnim Ismail, OUT! BOWLED! Shabnim Ismail took a risky route of going for a big shot with just run-a-ball needed and pays the price! Length delivery on middle and leg by Devine from 'round the wicket. Shabnim Ismail makes room and looks to hit it towards the off side. She misses and the ball shatters the stumps. Can Sophie Devine close this over with four good balls to create more drama?

Sophie Devine to Marizanne Kapp, FOUR! What a shot! Marizanne Kapp, you beauty! This is full, on off. Kapp goes inside-out over extra cover for a boundary. Just 7 needed now and Kapp is taking her team home yet again!
