Australia v New Zealand: third women's one-day international – live!

7th over: Australia 26-0 (Haynes 4, Healy 20) More of the same from Mair, landing the ball consistently in top-of-off areas. She strays onto Healy’s pads briefly, but the error only concedes a couple of runs.

6th over: Australia 24-0 (Haynes 4, Healy 18) After that wayward opening over Huddleston has settled into a nice groove, shaping the ball away from the right-handed Healy on a decent line and length, even beating the bat on one occasion. She occasionally offers a touch of width but the field is well set and Australia’s opener is unable to time anything with force through the gap – until the final delivery when Healy muscles one through the overworked cover fielder and away to the fence. That was a good battle between bowler and batter.

5th over: Australia 19-0 (Haynes 3, Healy 14) Another probing over from Mair, continuing her excellent start, denying either batter width or length on an excellent surface for run-making.

4th over: Australia 17-0 (Haynes 2, Healy 13) Better from Huddleston, shaping the ball nicely back into the left-handed Haynes and forcing the Aussie skipper to dig out a testing couple of yorker-length deliveries. The line is then much tighter to Healy, who is respectful.

3rd over: Australia 16-0 (Haynes 2, Healy 13) Haynes takes a risky single from the first ball of the third over that would have seen her perish had Devine thrown down the stumps. Huge opportunity missed for the White Ferns with Devine only 10-15m away from the non-striker’s end at mid-off. Another excellent over thereafter from Mair, keeping a top-of-off line and length to Healy, until the final ball anyway, when she drops a fraction short and Healy is on it in a flash, whipcracking a front foot pull well in front of square that flies to the boundary. That was a serious shot.

2nd over: Australia 11-0 (Haynes 1, Healy 9) Holly Huddleston shares the new ball for the first time this series and she finds plenty of away swing to Healy bowling right-arm over the wicket. That swing is right into Healy’s arc though and she drives a wide half-volley sweetly to the cover fence, then flays a shorter wide delivery over gully for another boundary. That swing out of the hand then leads to a wide as Huddleston figures out the right line to such a confident batter. She does just that to end the over with three dots.

1st over: Australia 2-0 (Haynes 1, Healy 1) The left-handed Haynes is off the mark early, milking a single off her pads. Healy follows her on the scoreboard a little streakier, inside-edging down to fine-leg. Good start from Mair, excellent line and length bowling right-arm over the wicket.

The players are out in the middle. There’s a little cloud around Allan Border Field, which may help the swing bowlers early on.

Rosemary Mair is at the top of her mark, Rachael Haynes is on strike. Here we go…

Annabel Sutherland – the 18-year-old opening bowler appearing in her debut series – is listed to bat a first drop today. That is a serious flex from the Australian selectors.

Australia, for so long symbolised by Meg Lanning and Ellyse Perry, will have to do without both as they seek one more win to tie the record for consecutive ODI victories.

Here’s a little something to pass the time from Tanya Aldred on Jason Gillespie, perhaps the most liked man in cricket in both Australia and England. Some feat.

David Hopps, who has reported on Yorkshire cricket for decades, cannot speak of him highly enough, “He brought a generosity of spirit to Yorkshire cricket, which is not always something it is famous for. He was an emollient you poured over Headingley, everyone loved him, when he walked through the gates he could make a Yorkshire fan who hadn’t smiled in five years beam with pleasure.”

One change also for New Zealand with Holly Huddleston replacing Lea Tahuhu.

That injury to Lanning means Rachael Haynes will skipper Australia in their chase for history at Allan Border Field. Tahlia McGrath comes into the XI.

In a change to the script from the first couple of matches in the series New Zealand called correctly and have decided to have a bowl. Let’s see if Australia can secure the record as front-runners.

Agreed Stuie. The only slight concern might be Devine and Satterthwaite hitting form last time out. Both can go big when the mood takes them.
