  1. dropped catch

    Freya Kemp dropped on four

    Another drop! This is a lot tougher than the previous two as Maddy Green goes for the dive on the long-off boundary.

    She cannot hold on - but at least prevents the four, with England running two.

  2. Eng 125-4

    Freya Kemp would have had another four but for a superb one-handed stop off her own bowling by Amelia Kerr.

    And there a concludes an eventful over that has left my keyboard steaming.

    England need 17 from 12.

    The twists and turns in this game have been incredible.

  4. Eng 125-4

    What an over this has been. New batter Freya Kemp pulls her first ball through square leg for four!

    This game has gone back into the balance again.

  6. wicket

    WICKET

    Jones run out (Devine/A Kerr) 19 (Eng 120-4)

    Pressure back on!

    England hesistate when thinking about the single and Sophie Devine throws in to Amelia Kerr, who whips off the bails with Amy Jones well short.

  7. 6 runs

    Eng 120-3

    That will make England feel better - and Sophie Devine worse.

    Alice Capsey hammers the ball over mid-on for a huge six to ease the pressure.

  8. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Sophie Devine got herself in such a tangle there. It was a good option from Amy Jones, but Devine just got in a pickle.

  9. dropped catch

    Amy Jones dropped on 18

    Dropped again!

    Amy Jones hammers the ball straight to Sophie Devine at mid-off but she spills it.

    How costly could that be?

  11. Eng 113-3

    Need 29 from 18 balls

    Skipper Sophie Devine returns to the attack. She was expensive in her first spell, what about here?

    Well, she very nearly snares a wicket as Amy Jones skies one just short of Maddy Green running in from deep mid-wicket.

    Some excellent fielding from Brooke Halliday then denies Alice Capsey a four through the covers.

    New Zealand are cranking up the pressure.

  12. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    New Zealand have been absolutely outstanding in the middle. They'll be trying to get the required run-rate up to 10s as soon as possible.

  13. Eng 107-3

    Just the five singles from Leigh Kasperek's latest over.

    England need 35 from 24 balls.

  14. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Alice Capsey plays a shotReuters

    Alice Capsey has shown a lot of maturity. She's been frustrated at times but she's just knocked the ball around. She'll be waiting for the seamers to come back on.

  15. 50 runs

    50 for Alice Capsey

    50 up for Alice Capsey as she pushes the ball into the leg-side for a single.

    It is her fourth T20 half-century in 32 appearances - but she needs to stay around a bit longer if England are to chase down this total.

    Alice Capsey is getting frustrated by Brooke Halliday here.

  18. Eng 102-3

    Target 142

    Alice Capsey has timed pretty much everything perfectly this innings but struggles to get Brooke Halliday away here, growing visibly frustrated as the over progresses.

    The rate is now eight an over.

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    If New Zealand can get the required run-rate up a little bit then England may start to panic here.

  20. This could be the game's key moment.
