India have done well to restrict New Zealand to 251. Opting to bat, the hosts got off to a steady start despite losing Bates in the sixth over. Devine and Kerr stitched a fifty partnership for the second wicket at a brisk pace and were even attacking the spin duo of Gayakwad and Deepti Sharma. That's when Sneh Rana was introduced. The offie bowled two tight overs and followed it by removing a well-set Devine. The in-form Kerr, meanwhile, continued her purple patch by notching up her fourth successive 50+ score. Mithali Raj kept rotating her bowlers and the four spinners picked wickets at regular intervals. Some crucial contributions from the lower-order helped New Zealand cross 250. Can India - who have crossed 270 twice in this series - chase down this total and avert a whitewash? Reply coming up in 30 minutes...
