Lea Tahuhu to Perry, out Caught by Bates!! Perry falls in trying to raise the tempo! Was itching to get going out there. Uses her feet to a full ball and tries lofting it down the ground. Mid-off and mid-on are both up in the ring, but Perry is through the shot early and skies it up off the bottom of her bat. Easy catch for Bates at mid-off and New Zealand are pulling things back superbly at the moment. Perry c Bates b Lea Tahuhu 33(41) [4s-5]
