- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 full, loopy, and plinked to mid-off! Bates can't believe it, her mouth agape as she slices across her shot and steers it straight into the hands of Sciver-Brunt. Looked like she wanted to go over the on side but the ball gripped just a touch. Big wicket for England 57/20.5 banged in, Plimmer pulls... spoons straight to mid-off! Filer breaks through in the opening over and Plimmer's tough tour continues with a first-baller today. Hurried by the extra pace, she was swishing across the line but only managed a top edge to the stand-in skipper Sciver-Brunt 5/17.5 bowled by a ripper through the gate! Flighted, teasing, dipping on Kerr... then skipping viciously off the surface past the inside edge to rattle to top of middle! Just 48mph through the air but with a sucker punch that left Kerr throwing her head back in despair 62/312.6 chipped straight to long-on! NSB holds this one, having dropped a couple of gimmes in the deep this series... Halliday had to try and put the hammer down but never got enough on the shot and she went down the ground. Sciver-Brunt had time to line it up and pouch safely above her head 79/414.6 Glenn grabs a screamer at backward point! The ball was full and wide and Green probably thought she'd done well to get a good chunk of bat on it, using all of Filer's pace. But it was in the air for long enough that Glenn could throw herself forward and get both hands under the ball. Brilliantly done 96/516.6 top of off! Gaze goes... Happy days for England. A rapid arm ball skips on as Gaze attempts to play back and is done for pace, off stump is taken for a walk. Third of the night for Ecclestone 100/617.3 bowler 'er! A perfect yorker does for Rowe, who goes first ball. Pinpoint from Kemp, firing the ball in under the toe of the bat and into middle and off. Rowe, one of the taller women in the NZ team, just couldn't get her bat down 106/718.6 castled, middle stump! Full, straight and with just the right amount drop to nutmeg Kasperek as she jumps across and aims a heave across the line. Under the bat and into the woodwork 125/8Extras4 (b 1, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL141/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.05)Did not bat: FC JonasFall of wickets: 1-5 (Georgia Plimmer, 0.5 ov), 2-57 (Suzie Bates, 7.2 ov), 3-62 (Amelia Kerr, 7.5 ov), 4-79 (Brooke Halliday, 12.6 ov), 5-96 (Maddy Green, 14.6 ov), 6-100 (Isabella Gaze, 16.6 ov), 7-106 (Hannah Rowe, 17.3 ov), 8-125 (Leigh Kasperek, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 right on target, given out first ball! Bouchier looks bemused and eventually asks for the review - but she has clearly played all around a straight one. Smacked on the back knee roll and Hawk-Eye confirms it would have rattled the inside half of leg stump. Perfect start for NZ, courtesy of Rowe 0/18.5 Dunkley chops on! A spirited comeback innings but she is the second wicket to fall. NZ have a glimmer, Jonas using the angle well. It was full and drifting in, Dunkley cramped for room as she tried to cut, only managing to divert the ball into the base of leg stump 66/28.6 pinned in front first ball! Huge wicket for NZ! James Middlebrook didn't think too long about it, and there'll be no review. She looked to be pretty plumb, stuck in front of leg stump... but wait for the kicker: ball-tracking had it missing leg! Sciver-Brunt didn't review and it'll stay out in the book 66/317.3 plinked to mid-off, Jones was looking for one, she won't get back to the bowler's end! Capsey seemed to come for the single and then change her mind, Devine fired the ball in to Kerr, who kept her cool to break the stumps with Jones well short 120/4Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL142/4 (19.2 Overs, RR: 7.34)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Maia Bouchier, 0.1 ov), 2-66 (Sophia Dunkley, 8.5 ov), 3-66 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 8.6 ov), 4-120 (Amy Jones, 17.3 ov)
