Sophie Devine finding the middle early after losing her opening partner Suzie Bates for seven. There's five overs gone here at @WestpacStadium with the WHITE FERNS 34/1! Katie Gurrey the new batter on debut...

Devine is taking off here in Wellington! A couple of super blows over the ropes! Debutant Katie Gurrey chipped in with a bright 15 including three boundaries also. Halfway point in the innings and we are 64/2.

Really enjoyed that batting display from the @WHITE_FERNS Some brute force from Devine and some imagination from the middle order too #NZvIND

An update on @FrankieMac71! She’s ok but a bit sore. Ankle is strapped and she won’t be back on the park today sadly 🙁 #NZvIND pic.twitter.com/1iqoMoHxVd

Lea Tahuhu with a double strike in the 15th over! She finishes with 3-20 from her four overs. We're in for a bumper finish here @WestpacStadium! FIVE overs to go and @BCCIWomen require a further 49 runs...

Devine may have led the charge for @WHITE_FERNS with the bat, but Martin has been massive in this win. Fantastic knock with the bat, sharp and energetic behind the stumps, a real difference. That comeback will do wonders for this team’s confidence #NZvIND
