Hayley Matthews to Isabella Gaze, no run, oh dear! Dropped. Gaze came down the track and mistimed the on-drive to the right of the bowler. Matthews anticipated and put in the dive to her right, but the ball didn't stick. It was just a few inches off the ground, but Matthews timed the dive right - so surely not a tough chance...

Deandra Dottin to Georgia Plimmer, FOUR, Dottin tries for a yorker, but ends up serving a low full toss outside off which has been met with a driving blade from Plimmer. Enough power and raced away through extra cover

Hayley Matthews to Isabella Gaze, FOUR, back to using the feet is Isabella Gaze. Gets closer to the delivery and launches it back over the bowler's head. No-one at long-on this time around...

Aaliyah Alleyne to Georgia Plimmer, out Caught by Deandra Dottin!! There's the breakthrough for the West Indies. 103ks short ball on the stumps, Plimmer was deep inside the crease and she decided to play the pull square on the leg-side. Dottin stood there anticipating the flight and put in the last-minute dive to clasp it inches above the turf.

Wicket, good catch. Hopefully our ladies can take more wickets. New Zealand-W are the defending champions.

Good over from Fletcher, only 2 runs conceded.
