- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.2 blazed high but not quite mighty enough! Heaved out of the arc, up and over deep midwicket, but Tahuhu's slower ball denies her the timing she was seeking. The ball hangs in the breeze and Green does the rest 169/37.4 short ball, Bouchier hits across the line... and holes out! Didn't get enough on it as she looked to go over midwicket and it's a straightforward catch for Plimmer coming in off the rope 61/115.1 lofted down the throat of deep midwicket! Credit to Carson, holding her nerve after some rough treatment, tossing it up, luring another launch with the breeze, but this one comes off the toe of the blade, and she departs shy of her fifty 143/2Extras12 (b 4, lb 4, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL197/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.85)Fall of wickets: 1-61 (Maia Bouchier, 7.4 ov), 2-143 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 15.1 ov), 3-169 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.1 looks to reverse, played on! Bates is cramped for room and only manages to glove the ball back into the woodwork. Glenn strikes, spin doing the trick on a sunny Southampton afternoon. England go bang-bang to pile on the pressure 63/31.6 full outside off, 69mph/112kph and Plimmer looks to tip-and-run... has she run herself out?? Yes, she is half a yard short diving for the non-striker's end! Sciver-Brunt swooped and underarmed at the stumps, beating Pimmer's dive for the line. Third time she has been run out on NZ's tour, and England have an early breakthrough 12/18.4 tossed up, Kerr swats it straight to long-on! She was down the pitch, looking to go big, but didn't get the power behind the shot and Bouchier steadied herself for a simple take 63/29.6 Devine steps out... and picks out long-on! She turned away in disgust as soon as she had made connection, knowing that there wasn't enough behind the shot. Three in the over for Glenn and NZ's chase looks to be heading off piste 64/59.2 bowled 'er first ball! Glenn zips one straight through Green to hit middle stump! Think she was trying to come down the pitch and Glenn just went into the pitch, not much in the way of turn, but it slid between bat and pads to knock down the castle 63/416.2 made early room across her stumps, Dean said ta very much, and pinged back her middle stump. Round the wicket, zeroing in on the timbers, past a hopeful sweep to leg 110/710.5 ripped past the outside edge! Gaze is drawn forward by the tantalising length, topples forward as the ball bites past her outside edge, and Jones whips off the bails! It's sent upstairs, but it's not even close. New Zealand are in a death spiral now. Five wickets in 11 balls! 67/618.6 panned into NSB's hands this time! A ridiculous over of half- and whole-chances, but it ends with another larrup down the ground, and straight into the hands of long-off! 132/819.6 lobbed in the air, Knight at mid-off wraps it up! Driving up into the wide line, without conviction. England seal their 59-run win in style! 138/9Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL138/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.9)Did not bat: EJ CarsonFall of wickets: 1-12 (Georgia Plimmer, 1.6 ov), 2-63 (Amelia Kerr, 8.4 ov), 3-63 (Suzie Bates, 9.1 ov), 4-63 (Maddy Green, 9.2 ov), 5-64 (Sophie Devine, 9.6 ov), 6-67 (Isabella Gaze, 10.5 ov), 7-110 (Brooke Halliday, 16.2 ov), 8-132 (Jess Kerr, 18.6 ov), 9-138 (Lea Tahuhu, 19.6 ov)
