Lauren Bell to Maddy Green, out Suzie Bates Run Out!! Dug in short on middle-leg, cramped Maddy Green for room and she couldn't get any bat on that as she looked to pull. Bates sprinted across looking to pinch a bye but Jones was quick to under-arm that back on to the stumps. Fantastic final over from Lauren Bell. Suzie Bates run out (Amy Jones) 19(13) [4s-3]

Sophie Ecclestone to Maddy Green, FOUR, just past Bell at short fine-leg, very full on middle, Maddy Green leant in and used the pace to scoop, nearly picked the fielder out, Bell reached out to her right and couldn't quite get to it

Sophie Ecclestone to Suzie Bates, leg byes, 1 run, length delivery on middle-leg, Bates looks to work it into the leg-side and misses, seemed to be heading down leg, ball-tracker shows it would've hit the stumps on umpire's call. Bates survives and England keep their review

Sophie Ecclestone to Suzie Bates, 1 run, full on middle, whipped away to deep mid-wicket

Freya Kemp to Suzie Bates, FOUR, three in a row! Suzie Bates starts by standing well outside off, predictably Kemp goes for the stumps and Bates waits for it before heaving it away over backward square-leg, fell just short of the ropes too

Freya Kemp to Suzie Bates, FOUR, now she goes the other way! Length delivery on middle, Suzie Bates reverse-scoops and makes good contact, gets it up and over short third man and that's another boundary

Freya Kemp to Suzie Bates, FOUR, that's a very important boundary for New Zealand, length delivery just outside off, Suzie Bates shuffles across her stumps and uses the pace to lug it up and over fine leg

Lauren Bell to Sophie Devine, out Lbw!! Very interesting stance from Devine as she stood well outside off, was a length delivery on off stump, Devine looked to work it into the leg-side and missed, it hit her just above the knee roll. Looked straight and the umpire obliged. Three reds on the review and that was Devine done. Did we just see Sophie Devine's last innings in international cricket? Time will tell. Sophie Devine lbw b Lauren Bell 30(14) [4s-1 6s-3]

Lauren Bell to Brooke Halliday, out Brooke Halliday Run Out!! Direct-hit and gone! It's the skipper! Full and just outside off, driven straight to Dean at extra cover, Halliday sets off straightaway but Dean nails the stumps down at the bowler's end. Had only one stump to aim at and she hit. Halliday was well short. England needed something special to break that stand and that was it. Brooke Halliday run out (Charlie Dean) 20(17) [4s-2]

Sophie Ecclestone to Sophie Devine, SIX, that's her third six in a row! Tossed up full on middle-leg, Sophie Devine leans in and slog-sweeps again, hits it clean and over deep square-leg this time, that's the 50-run partnership

Charlie Dean to Sophie Devine, SIX, double it says Devine! Good length delivery on middle, Sophie Devine got down on one knee and cleared her front-leg before slog-sweeping it over deep mid-wicket again

Charlie Dean to Sophie Devine, SIX, that's more like it for New Zealand! Full on off-stump, in the slot and Sophie Devine gives it the charge before hoisting it high and dunking it into the deep mid-wicket stands

Charlie Dean to Brooke Halliday, FOUR, that's well played! Full and fired into leg-stump, Brooke Halliday shifts early to reverse-sweep this past short third man, was struck firmly

Danielle Gibson to Sophie Devine, FOUR, that was a boundary-ball and Devine doesn't miss out this time, length delivery sliding down leg and all Devine had to do was help it on its way past short fine leg

Charlie Dean to Brooke Halliday, FOUR, in the gap! Tossed up full outside off, Brooke Halliday whipped it away through mid-wicket, struck powerfully and no chance for the fielder in the deep

Danielle Gibson to Izzy Sharp, out Bowled!! And another one! Talk about a swing in momentum! Length delivery just outside off, very little footwork from Izzy Sharp there as she tried to slash it through the off-side, nothing shot really as she played it with an angled bat. It took a thick inside-edge and crashed into the stumps. Two-ball duck for Sharp and it feels like England are dictating things now. Izzy Sharp b Danielle Gibson 0(2)

Danielle Gibson to Amelia Kerr, out Bowled!! Back to back wickets! Amelia Kerr is livid with herself and rightly so. Poor shot selection there, was a straight delivery on middle stump, Amelia Kerr went right across looking to scoop and missed it completely. It went straight on to hit the top of middle. Momentum back with England now, both openers gone. Amelia Kerr b Danielle Gibson 42(34) [4s-6]

Freya Kemp to Isabella Gaze, out Caught by Alice Capsey!! There's the wicket! Length delivery on middle-leg, Isabella Gaze made room again and lofted it straight back down the ground, was the slower ball and Gaze was through her shot just a fraction too early. Ended up chipping it and Capsey wasn't going to put that down, straightforward catch and the partnership has been broken. Isabella Gaze c Alice Capsey b Freya Kemp 28(27) [4s-4]

Freya Kemp to Isabella Gaze, FOUR, back to back boundaries! This one went where Isabella Gaze wanted it to, length delivery on middle-leg, Isabella Gaze gave herself a bit of room and thumped it past mid-on with a flat-bat

Sophie Ecclestone to Isabella Gaze, no run, review lost! Flatter delivery on middle, Isabella Gaze leant in looking to sweep and there was a bit of extra bounce, it missed the bat and gloves before hitting her forearm. It lobbed up and was caught by Jones. Ball tracker showed that it would be missing the stumps too

Charlie Dean to Amelia Kerr, FOUR, intent from Kerr against Dean straightaway! Tossed up full just outside off, Amelia Kerr steps out and smacks it up and over mid-off, 50 up for New Zealand

Danielle Gibson to Amelia Kerr, FOUR, and now a bit of innovation! Good length delivery just outside off, Amelia Kerr shuffles across and uses the pace to scoop it fine and over the keeper's head. Fine leg was back but couldn't get around

Danielle Gibson to Amelia Kerr, FOUR, here's Amelia Kerr playing the field perfectly again, length delivery just outside off, Amelia Kerr made a bit of room before using the pace to slap it through point

Linsey Smith to Isabella Gaze, FOUR, nicely played again! Tossed up full and just outside off, Isabella Gaze walked right across her stumps and leant in to meet it on the full before sweeping it through square-leg, excellent placement
