    WICKET

    Halliday c Knight b Glenn 51 (NZ 156 all out)

    And then Halliday goes. A big swing of the bat sees the ball head up into surprisingly humid north east sky.

    Heather Knight steadies herself and takes the catch.

    Sarah Glenn has one in the wickets column and New Zealand are done and dusted.

  2. NZ 156-9

    Halliday sticks one up in the air and gets away with it, before a reverse sweep brings up her half century. 51 off 59. Well batted.

  3. NZ 150-9

    Nifty little sweep for four there from Halliday. Gets into position early and, despite Charlie Dean following her with a ball aimed at the body, Halliday still manages to get it away. Next up comes the old 'drop and run' to keep the strike. 150 up.

  4. Frankie Mackay
    Ex-New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Sounds

    There was some good stuff from New Zealand at the start of the innings but it's fallen away considerably. Brooke Halliday has played positively against the spinner, but overall it hasn't gone to plan.

  5. NZ 145-9

    Well, Brooke Holiday answers my question pretty emphatically.

    She hits Sarah Glenn's first ball down the ground but refuses a single to the boundary fielder. Unfortunately for her, she can't come back for two after hitting the next ball to deep mid-wicket. Fortunately for her, Fran Jonas keeps Glenn at bay for the remainder of the over.

    Such joy for Brooke Halliday who hit that really well, straight back over the bowlers head and into the boundary boards. That's a six all right.

  7. NZ 144-9

    Will be interesting to see what Brooke Halliday does now. Will she trust her batting partner, or will she farm the strike?

  8. NZ 143-9

    First six of the match. Here we go. Brooke Halliday shimmies before plonking Charlie Dean back over her head. The boundaries are small today (in fact, as small as the ICC allow) and that one drops over boundary. Just.

    Charlie Dean is one of the most skillful off-spinners in the world. She has a tremendous cricket brain and is always trying to think batters out.

  10. NZ 136-9

    Well, at least New Zealand didn't lose another wicket, right? Got to take those little victories.

    Sarah Glenn fizzes through another set of six and we have had 30 overs up at CLS. The sun is shining and England are smiling.

    Dean has a 5-fer in her sights.

  11. NZ 134-9

    Another Charlie Dean over, another Charlie Dean wicket. Thanks Charlie - you're making my job a pretty simple one right now. For New Zealand the opposite is very much the case.

    WICKET

    Penfold b Dean 1 (NZ 134-9)

    Molly Penfold wasn't sure whether to go forward to that one or stay back. She did neither, played and missed and the flashing bails are on the floor again.

  13. Kevin Howells
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Brooke Halliday has played some nice shots for New Zealand, so it will be interesting to see if England start to starve her of the strike.

  14. NZ 131-8

    Brooke Halliday is very strong through the covers - she takes a boundary off Sarah Glenn's latest set of six.

    As per my entry of a few minutes back, though, Halliday is rapidly running out of batting mates.

  15. Anya Shrubsole
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    New Zealand just don't have any answers at the minute. They don't seem to have a plan on how to play quality England bowling. There's a lack of clarity there.

    Two thirds of New Zealand's runs have come in boundaries which shows you difficult it has been scoring the rest of the time.

  16. NZ 126-8

    Another Charlie Dean over, another Charlie Dean wicket. Cut and paste job for me at the minute!

    There was nearly a ninth wicket too, Molly Penfold getting off the mark with a single that we will call...dodgy, yes, let's go with dodgy. Direct hit and she would not even have been in the frame.

  17. Kevin Howells
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    England are ripping through them now.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Kerr c Jones b Dean 10 (NZ 124-8)

    There is that flight and drift from Dean. She is only 23 but bowls offies like she's been twirling away for decade after decade.

    Another superb grab from Amy Jones, by the way. Makes it look easy but that took a lot of bat and deviated significantly. Kerr had started brightly but just couldn't hang about.

  19. NZ 124-7

    First look at Sarah Glenn with ball in hand this series. The third part of England's spin Triptych.

    Another nice stroke from Jess Kerr brings her a second boundary.

  20. Anya Shrubsole
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    A good shot but overpitched from Charlie Dean. You've got to be putting that away.
