Melie Kerr to Deandra Dottin
OUT! TAKEN! DOTTIN GOES! Another twist in the tale! Sophie Devine with a brilliant call to bring on Melie Kerr for her last over and she does the trick here and this could be the final nail in the coffin for the Windies. This is flighted, full and on middle and leg, Deandra Dottin goes down to sweep it away. But this one bounces a bit more and takes the top edge. The ball loops up in the air towards short fine where Fran Jonas crucially holds on to the catch. The Kiwis are celebrating wildly here and why shouldn't they! Dottin falls for a fiery 33 off just 22 balls!
