7.1 a 100 WT20I wickets for Tahuhu! And caught by Bates too, which makes it even more poetic. Back of a length outside off. Fraser swings like a rysty gate and slices it towards extra cover, where Bates dives to her left and takes it around her left shoulder with both hands. Timely breakthrough for NZ, even if it is not the wicket they would have wanted! 51/1

8.4 holes out to deep backward square leg, and NZ have held on to two catches in succession! And no, this is not a drill! Googly on a shortish length on the stumps. Bryce swipes at it and gets good purchase on it. Does not find the gap, though, and Sharp hurtles to her right to complete the catch. Not the cleanest of catches, but NZ will not care one bit! 58/2

14.1 pinned on the pad, and NZ have some Devine intervention straightaway! Length ball on middle and off, and this nips in a touch. Bryce, trapped on the crease, plays all around it and gets rapped in front. Does not even bother with the review, and NZ have broken a promising Scotland stand! 96/3

14.5 catching practice for Melie Kerr, and Devine has two in the over! Back of a length outside off. Lister stands up tall and boshes it straight down the NZ skipper's throat at long on. Maybe wanted to go a little squarer but Kerr had no problem taking that well inside the fence. Scotland sliding now! 98/4

15.4 McColl perishes too, and this innings is in freefall now! Zinged in very full on middle and leg. McColl pre-meditates the sweep and walks across. Too full a ball to be playing the stroke, though, and the ball sneaks under her bat to crash into the stumps. Patel is pumped, and NZ making some serious inroads now! 101/5

18.4 another massive lbw shout, and this time, the finger goes up! Fizzed through on a length on middle and off. Chatterji skips down, swings wildly and misses. Gets trapped right in front and this seemed to be pretty adjacent. Chatterji, though, has reviewed. More in hope, presumably. No bat involved, and Ball Tracking has the ball crashing into the top of middle. Kerr has two! 121/6

18.6 simple catch at mid off, and Kerr finishes with three wickets! A double-wicket maiden for the skipper, and her first maiden over in WT20Is in 36 games. Floated up on middle and off. Sproul advances but chips it straight to Jess Kerr. A household affair for that wicket, and Scotland continue to sink deeper into trouble! 121/7

1.1 and Bryce exacts revenge on Kerr! Slot ball just outside off and this is there to be hit. Kerr, though, cannot get under it enough and all she manages is a tame chip to Carter at mid on. Kerr got Bryce when Scotland were batting and now, Bryce has returned the favour. Big moment early doors! 3/1

4.2 another scruffy connection, and Gaze has to walk back too! In-ducker, bowled full and following the batter outside leg as she steps out. Gaze looks to muscle it over mid on but does not get enough on it. Carter moves to her right and does the rest. NZ in a spot of bother now! 20/2

17.4 Sharp perishes for the cause, but the job has been done! Back of a length, angling into middle and off. Sharp tries to finish it with one blow and only has a fresh-air shot. Middle stump lies flat on the ground, but the dressing room rises as one to applaud a match-winning knock, and one that keeps NZ alive (for now)! 127/4

5.1 hot knife through butter, and NZ on the ropes now! This is beautiful bowling. Attacking the stumps and on a probing length on off. Devine gets a half stride in and looks to force a drive on the up but the ball nips back in a smidgen to burst through the gap between bat and ball. Off stump flattened, and NZ in all sorts now! 26/3
