- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.2 strangled down the leg side! Very full from Rowe, Winfield-Hill flings her hands at it but gets only a thin snick as the ball passes the legs. Up goes the finger, and there ends a very composed opening stand 44/123.4 tighter line, on middle stump and raps the pad, on the knee roll a lonely shout, and not given, New Zealand review and indeed she's out! Striding forward, it struck in line, it did hit the bat but pad first and ball tracking shows it would have hit the top of leg stump. So ends Beaumont's knock, short of her fifty 109/246.5 tossed up, biffed back at the bowler, and Knight is gone! Looking to hit straight, but just checked her drive on the half-volley. A well-judged take, simple enough, the end of a valiant innings 228/625.6 great ball! On a length, right on target, Sciver swings and gets an inside edge onto middle stump! 113/329.4 back of a length but not short by any means, Jones takes a big swing and misses, the ball clatters into the top of off stump! 132/431.4 oh dear! She's strangled down the leg side. Good length, Dunkley goes to turn it away, gets an edge and Martin gathers behind the stumps! 140/547.4 clean through her! Wicket-to-wicket line from Kerr, Brunt advanced, and played all over the full ball, yorking herself. Still, a good effort to keep England's innings chugging along 232/749.3 whipped to the on-side, confusion reigns! Oh dear, the lob comes back to the bowler, Ecclestone had given up the ghost, after initially rushing to regain the strike. That's a bit of a limp finish, but it's a defendable total ... 241/1048.5 reaching for the width, holes out at cover! New Zealand holding it together well after that let-off. A fine leap from Halliday, intercepting the scuffed drive 240/849.1 slower ball, angling into the knee-roll, and up goes the finger! Dean reviews, it might have been leg-sided, but she was a long way across the crease... clipping leg! And that is the end of that! 241/9Extras24 (b 1, lb 7, nb 1, w 15)TOTAL241 all out (49.3 Overs, RR: 4.86)Fall of wickets: 1-44 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 8.2 ov), 2-109 (Tammy Beaumont, 23.4 ov), 3-113 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 25.6 ov), 4-132 (Amy Jones, 29.4 ov), 5-140 (Sophia Dunkley, 31.4 ov), 6-228 (Heather Knight, 46.5 ov), 7-232 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 47.4 ov), 8-240 (Kate Cross, 48.5 ov), 9-241 (Charlie Dean, 49.1 ov), 10-241 (Sophie Ecclestone, 49.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.6 edged and gone! That was just too easy for England, back in the channel outside off, a fraction fuller, luring the drive, a touch of outswing, and Jones wraps her mitts round the chance. The end of a sketchy stay, and NZ's woes are deepened 17/23.4 hacked through the line, and a fat edge to first slip! That's reward for outstanding bowling. Fuller length, angling into the batter, a sizeable deflection and Knight makes no mistake, with hands cupped upwards 2/112.1 full and she's got her! She jabs the bat down and gets an edge to the late swing, taken low at slip by Heather Knight 31/328.4 flogged off the full length, and straight at mid-on! Cross gets her reward for discipline, seemingly in the slot but just not quite there for such liberties. Big breakthrough! 109/431.4 another sweep, a top-edge this time, and short fine leg swallows a dolly! Once too many from Martin, England placed the fielder for precisely that error, and now the game feels distant for NZ 124/531.5 nailed on the back foot, and bowled! Full length from Ecclestone, deceived in flight, and then by the skid off the deck. Middle stump pegged back for a golden duck! 124/634.6 thuds the pad and that's plumb! No escaping that one, wicket to wicket, slightly leg-sided, squared up on the back foot, nailed in front of the stumps. This one is nearly cooked 132/737.2 bowled with a beauty! Tossed up and dipping on the right-hander, who swings through the line, is beaten by the bite, and loses the top of her off stump! Maiden ODI wicket, as her proud dad looks on from the stands 143/840.5 slower ball, and Tahuhu's cameo is done! Cunning bowling, back of the hand, loops down on a yorker length, through another uncomplicated wipe. A fine hand, but that might be the end of the resistance now 177/946.3 clipped to mid-on, a sharp single, as the direct hit comes in, but Kasperek looks composed... ooh, hello! She was coasting! Winfield-Hill wins the match with a ping! She took a beat to line up the shy... and that was poor running at such a key moment, a stretch of the bat, and Kasperek would have been safely home 211/9Extras18 (lb 10, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL211 all out (46.3 Overs, RR: 4.53)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Suzie Bates, 3.4 ov), 2-17 (Lauren Down, 9.6 ov), 3-31 (Maddy Green, 12.1 ov), 4-109 (Sophie Devine, 28.4 ov), 5-124 (Katey Martin, 31.4 ov), 6-124 (Brooke Halliday, 31.5 ov), 7-132 (Hannah Rowe, 34.6 ov), 8-143 (Jess Kerr, 37.2 ov), 9-177 (Lea Tahuhu, 40.5 ov), 10-211 (Leigh Kasperek, 46.3 ov)
