- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 drags out the edge, fine take from Jones! Relief from Cross, who checks the no-ball before daring to celebrate. Fifth-stump line, drawing the open-faced drive, a thick edge, and pouched with a dive to her right by the nimble keeper 41/25.4 fuller length, tighter line, steered to backward point where Charlie Dean hits the stumps! That is brilliant work, pinging down the striker's stumps with Plimmer horizontal and in mid-air, but six inches short! Bates was looking to the heavens before the shy had come in... she knew... 21/137.2 full and straight, thumps the pads! Up goes the finger, but there will be a review. It looked leg-sided to the naked eye, much as Kerr agreed, as she was launching up into the full length. No bat involved, but smashing middle and leg! The end of a fine knock, but Bell is doing the needful in her strike-bowler role 181/521.2 super delivery! Angled in from Bell, on a full length, just kept coming back at Devine as she thought it was cuttable, and it really wasn't. A hint of bounce too as she under-edges into her stumps. The breakthrough is a timely one for England! 109/322.5 nails the pads! No DRS, so no recourse to technology for Green! Fractionally fuller length, and angling into the legs... that might well have done too much, but we may never know! It looked as though it clipped the front pad before hitting the back... Two important mid-innings wickets for England 116/437.4 round the wicket, caught down the leg-side! Halliday was through her pull too soon, and that was a combination of glove and splice, wobbling through to Jones, who timed her dive well and made it two in the over! 182/639.6 looks for the launch over mid-on, but it's another slower ball! A spooned slap, high in the air out to NSB in the covers, who makes no mistake. A back-of-the-hander from Bell, well served up 194/741.3 another slower ball, Bell has five! Down knew she was done as soon as she made contact. A huge wipe through the line but couldn't line up another back-of-the-hander. NSB backpedals at mid-off, and a feisty cameo ends 208/8Extras16 (lb 5, nb 4, w 7)TOTAL211/8 (42 Overs, RR: 5.02)Did not bat: EJ CarsonFall of wickets: 1-21 (Georgia Plimmer, 5.4 ov), 2-41 (Suzie Bates, 8.3 ov), 3-109 (Sophie Devine, 21.2 ov), 4-116 (Maddy Green, 22.5 ov), 5-181 (Amelia Kerr, 37.2 ov), 6-182 (Brooke Halliday, 37.4 ov), 7-194 (Isabella Gaze, 39.6 ov), 8-208 (Lauren Down, 41.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 so the dropped chance didn't cost New Zealand anything. Gaze will be mighty relieved. Plays for the outswinger, but the ball nips back in sharply to strike the pad. But all said, this is a poor decision from the umpire. But Beaumont didn't even review. Replays tell us the ball would've missed leg comfortably. Beaumont was happy to walk off. Maybe could've consulted her partner for a second? 0/17.5 feathers an edge through to the keeper! Bouchier played two shots there. Shapes to wallop the pull but this is an effort ball, dug into the pitch and bounces way over her head, Bouchier ends up making the mistake of dangling her bat out even as she bails out of the pull and the ball flicks the toe-end through to the keeper 33/36.5 gets the leading edge and Rowe takes a good catch on her followthrough. Shortened her length just a touch to extract bounce, Knight looks to play it through midwicket and ends up getting it on the splice of the bat. England in early trouble. 29/215.5 brilliant catch by the keeper! Amelia Kerr's extra bounce has done the trick. Dunkley rocks back to cut but this isn't all that short. The ball fizzes through off the pitch to take the thinnest of edges through to the keeper. 72/430.1 beaten by sharp turn as she jabs at it, umpire is convinced there's no edge. New Zealand review, and they're proved right because Jones got a feather. Nothing more, just a tiny spike and that's good enough. But got to wonder if it's come a tad too late in the piece for the Kiwis 162/5Extras8 (lb 1, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL212/5 (38.4 Overs, RR: 5.48)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Tammy Beaumont, 0.5 ov), 2-29 (Heather Knight, 6.5 ov), 3-33 (Maia Bouchier, 7.5 ov), 4-72 (Sophia Dunkley, 15.5 ov), 5-162 (Amy Jones, 30.1 ov)
