Live cricket: White Ferns v South Africa Women - third and final ODI

Maddy Green has scored an unbeaten 141 runs in the deciding one-day international against South Africa at the Basin Reserve.

The Proteas will chase a target of 307 this afternoon, after the White Ferns recorded 306 for 7 in their 50 overs, having been put in to bat.

Green hit a career-best 141 off 128 balls, despite cramping late in her innings, marking her third ODI century.

Brooke Halliday also made an impressive contribution of 98 runs.

The pair led a remarkable recovery after a disastrous start when the White Ferns were just 3 for 3.

Green and Halliday's 211-run partnership is now the highest for the fourth wicket in ODIs for New Zealand, surpassing the previous record of 172 set by Amy Satterthwaite and Melie Kerr.

New Zealand were 98 for 3 at the halfway mark.
