50 for Brooke Halliday

There's Brooke Halliday's half-century!

It comes from 59 deliveries.

Maddy Green's day goes from bad to worse. That could also have been a big mix up in the field but thankfully it was taken cleanly.

WICKET

Green c Gaud b Rawal 18 (NZ 154-5)

Pratika Rawal gets a wicket to go with her century!

Maddy Green advances down the pitch and balloons the ball in the air..

Kranti Gaud is out at mid-off, and Rawal fortunately ducks out of her own charge towards the falling ball, allowing Gaud to take the catch.

NZ 150-4

Target 325

Brooke Halliday brings up New Zealand's 150 with a last-ball four of Shree Charani, lifting the ball back past the bowler at shoulder height.

Can we call that a chance? The spinner threw both hands at it, but it just passed her outstretched fingers.

Halliday moves to 46 from 53 deliveries.

NZ 142-4

Target 325

Ah, Pratika Rawal's going to have a bowl.

It's the first time she's turned her arm over since the opening match of the tournament, when she took 1-6 against Sri Lanka.

Her first over, bowled while wearing a cap, goes for five singles, with the required run-rate now over 10.

A much needed boundary for Maddy Green and New Zealand. That is what they need more of - you need to keep piercing the gaps.

NZ 130-4

Target 325

Maddy Green closes Kranti Goud's over with back-to-back fours, driving the ball past a sprawling cover fielder and then lofted through long-on.

The required run-rate ticks down from a challenging 9.76 runs an over to a breezy 9.75.

NZ 120-4

Target 325

Sneh Rana gets us back under way, conceding four singles from her over.

She's got a new wicketkeeper standing up behind the stumps - Richa Ghosh has gone off after injuring her finger, and the 23-year-old Uma Chetry has taken her place.

Chetry is yet to make a full ODI appearance, but has played seven T20 internationals.

NZ 116-4

Target 325

A single off Kranti Gaud. The required rate is dangerously close to 10 an over.

India have made a bit of a habit of throwing games away at this World Cup. Surely they can't lose from here?

Here's Mike Peter to take this one through to its conclusion.

NZ 115-4

Target 325

A dot to start for Maddy Green.

New Zealand need 210 runs from 23 overs. With Melie Kerr gone, you have to wonder where those runs are going to come from.

That was a fantastic effort from the India fielder. It was only a matter of time until Brooke Halliday brought out the sweep.

Dropped catch - Halliday on 25

Brooke Halliday slogs Sneh Rana over mid-wicket and while a diving Jemimah Rodrigues gets two hands to it, she can't cling on.

It's an excellent effort from the fielder and she saves the boundary, but a drop is a drop.
