"33rd over: New Zealand 154-5 (Devine 23, Gaze 13) Smith. Another England full toss goes unpunished and New Zealand milk just one from the over. Hopefully this is England's off game, and they'll be all button back up for the semi-final against South Africa on Wednesday. Share 32nd over: New Zealand 153-5 (Devine 23, Gaze 12) Bell struggling a little with her radar a wide, then a slower ball wafting down leg side which Devine shovels behind for four."
"Gaze then wildly top edges a short ball for four more. The players take drinks. Share 31st over: New Zealand 142-5 (Devine 18, Gaze 7) Smith, more bounce in her boots now. Dries her hands on the soil of Visakhapatnam. Just three singles. A stat from the Guardian's women's cricket queen Raf Nicholson: Dunkley has only bowled two overs across the three domestic comps last season. So not exactly bowling fit!"
New Zealand progressed to 154-5 after 33 overs with Devine and Gaze contributing crucial runs. England produced several wayward deliveries, including a full toss left unpunished and a no-ball that led to a free hit. Smith returned and bowled a tidier over while Bell changed ends and conceded a few. Ecclestone received further shoulder treatment and did not bowl again. Dunkley has minimal recent bowling exposure and appears not fully bowling-fit. Fielding featured a notable Capsey catch and a misjudged catch by Casey, followed by the no-ball and a boundary from the free hit.
