26.2 Pulled in the air, finds Taskin at deep fine leg!
21.3 Beats the Inside edge and hits the stumps Back of length ball comes in
49.1 Kuldeep is run-out at the striker's end! Game over, as Australia win by 21 runs, and take the series 2-1. Kuldeep skipped out of his crease, as Stoinis went short around off. Kuldeep swatted, but the ball ended to Stoinis' left, who moved well to cut that off. Kuldeep was halfway down the pitch, as Stoinis threw. Kuldeep tried to rush back, but fell well short, as Carey came forward to collect the throw and whip the bails off
47.5 the fun has ended! Shami looks for one more, but sees his off stump disturbed. Stoinis went much fuller this time, and on off. The ball went on straight after pitching, as Shami hoicked across the line after getting his front leg out of the way, but was beaten
45.1 skied to point! This one came off the leading edge. Zampa gets his fourth. Jadeja charged down the pitch early, as Zampa tossed one up. The ball landed around off stump, and so was quite wide of Jadeja to attempt that across-the-line heave. He was beaten in the air as well as by the wrong 'un turning away, and lost his bottom hand, as the ball took off from his leading edge

17.3 length ball on the wide guideline, goes to reverse sweep this and picks out backward point. Major confusion between the pair out in the middle as Kapp calls for a single immediately but Jonassen is off in the clouds. The relay on one bounce to Deepti is a bit wide of the stumps but Jonassen is so late taking off that Deepti still has plenty of time to get to the stumps to take the bails off.
16.2 good length ball flighted on fourth stump, charges down the track and misses badly with a heave. The ball spins just past off stump but the stumping is completed with ease.
6.5 bounced out! Short ball on middle and leg, Lanning gets inside the line and hooks this flat to deep backward square leg. Sharp catch taken at head height ranging to her right a few yards inside the rope.

28.2 short of length outside off but Jansen has steered this into the lap of backward point
18.2
12.1 a loud appeal for lbw but not given. West Indies want to review this. Was a length ball outside off that spun back in. De Zorzi was looking to half-pull-half-flick it but is beaten and is hit near the knee roll. The ball landed well outside off but hit the batter in front of off and would have gone on to ping middle

15.5 Vastrakar departs! Slowed up on a length on off stump. Vastrakar, trying to finish it with one blow, hares down the track and slogs at it. She is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball, though, and skies it. Mandhana settles herself at extra cover and does the rest!
15.6 Wong bites the dust too! Oh dear! Length delivery outside off stump. Wong advances and looks to tonk that into next week. She is rushed into her stroke, though, and ends up slicing it straight down Mandhana's throat at extra cover!
9.1 chops it on! More drama at the DY Patil Stadium! Slower delivery on a full length outside off stump. Harmanpreet has a very loose waft at it without any conviction. All she does is drag it back onto her stumps via a slight deflection off the pads!

14.1 Another one bites the dust, it was short, slow and Razzaq mishits in the air to mid-on and taken by Powell.
13.1
9.6 on a good length and a slower delivery, pitches on middle and leg, goes onto hit the off stump as Tharanga looks to give himself some room and hit through extra cover, misses it.
4.3 that's the end of that. Shafali steps out to swing this into the leg side but is done in by the flight. In stepping out she also got too close to the pitch of the ball. Once she was beaten, there was no way out as Bhatia effected a straightforward stumping. But the crowd has been entertained thoroughly and they cheer wildly for Shafali as she walks off.
19.2 no timing or power behind that as she toe-ends a slog to the edge of the ring at cover. As simple as catches come for Lanning. Jonassen did well by tossing it up outside the batter's arc, gave her no pace to work with.
19.6 right into the blockhole, she pushes it down the ground and chances a second but Amanjot caught miles short of the crease.

19.4 low full toss outside off stump. Ecclestone advances and clinks it down the ground. Simran is stretching every muscle to get back for the second but has she made it? We go upstairs to find out! Looks like she has not made her ground! Simran has to go, but Ecclestone remains on strike!
18.5 and it does the trick! Harris departs! Full and slanted across on off stump. Harris looks to hammer it into next week but gets this one wrong slightly. She swings too early and chalks it straight down long on's throat! There is still some life left in this game!
14.6 Deepti bites the dust! Tossed up on a full length on middle and off stump. With mid on up in the circle, Deepti thinks she can just pop it over the fielder and pick up four. Unlike the last ball, she is deceived in the air and has to reach out for it a shade. The ball clinks off the bottom part of the bat and Gardner does the rest at mid on!

46.2 Edged and caught behind! The umpire raises his finger but Hridoy isn't sure. He reviews immediately.
33.2 slipped down the leg and nicked?
141.6 Rajitha fishes and Williamson takes a sharp catch! New Zealand win 2-0 on an overcast Wellington evening!
137.1
122.3 Top edged and Jayasuriya's vigil ends! And it's another short one that does the trick. Goes for the pull, and Tickner at short fine nearly swings this as the wind takes it away from him at the last moment. Manages to put in a dive though and hold on.
25.6 Bowled him! This misses the back leg and crashes into the top of off! Very similar to the last delivery. A touch fuller angled in from wide around the wicket, he's caught on the crease playing the wrong line, it beats the edge and clips the top of off. What a delivery to claim his 9th ODI five-wicket haul
24.4 pulled straight to forward square! A good short ball angled into off, it cramps Kuldeep as he tries to place a pull shot with no real power and just chips it to Head at forward square who takes a simple catch
24.5 caught behind! Full and seam up wide of off, Shami is stuck on the crease he pokes at it with his hands and gets a thin nick through to Carey. Abbott on a hat-trick
