    Thanks, Timothy.

    We could have a game on here. England will rightly be confident of chasing down 142, but New Zealand have given themselves a chance.

    This feels at least a semi-competitive total for England to chase. Tom Mallows is here to talk you through it.

    Sophie Ecclestone bowled superbly for England, again, en route to figures of 4-25. Running out of superlatives to describe her bowing.

    We'll let the wickets speak for themselves.

    That is a nice flourish to finish from New Zealand.

    That is the first tick for New Zealand. Ideally you are pushing up to 150-160 but that at least gives you something to bowl at. New Zealand will be thrilled.

    Sophie Devine gave herself time to get in and was risk averse, but she can catch. They'll be taking momentum off with them.

  6. NZ 141-8published at 20 overs

    Sophie Devine finishes with a flourish as she picks up another two boundaries.

    First she slashes at a full-ish delivery from Danielle Gibson and the ball races away through third for four. Then off the final ball of the innings, Devine heaves one through mid-wicket for another four.

    Devine finishes unbeaten on 58 off 42 balls.

    That is real bat speed from Sophie Devine. The luck has followed her there.

    She is power personified. I don't think there is anyone in the women's game who hits the ball harder or further than her.

    Fifty for Devinepublished at 19.4 overs

    The one shining beacon for New Zealand has been Sophie Devine and she reaches a half-century with a thwack off the meat of the bat down the ground.

  9. NZ 127-8published at 19.2 overs

    England's final over will be bowled by Danielle Gibson.

    Sophie Devine and Molly Penfold pick up a single apiece off the first couple of deliveries.

    You don't mind that. It had to be two, four or six.

    Sophie Ecclestone just can't stop taking wickets. She's just a superstar.

    Sophie Ecclestone in nonchanelent in her celebration. It's just another day at the office for her.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 19 overs

    Kasperek b Ecclestone 1 (NZ 125-8)

    Leigh Kasperek shuffles across her crease and gets down on one knee, attempting to match what Sophie Devine tried a few balls earlier.

    However, the ball is quick, full and goes under Kasperek's leg to strike the base of the stumps.

    You wait all day for a number 10 bus...

    A few balls later and Sophie Ecclestone gives it a bit of air, and this time Sophie Devine wallops another maximum, slogging sweeping over square leg for six.

  14. 6 runs

    NZ 113-7published at 17.5 overs

    A slower ball from Freya Kemp but Sophie Devine is on to it in a flash and biffs it down the ground for six - New Zealand's first of their innings.

    That is the ball to bowl to a new batter. It just went under the bat, it is excellent from Freya Kemp. She has been under pressure today with boundaries flowing from her bowling. It is fantastic for the youngster.

    Rowe b Kemp 0 (NZ 106-7)

    Full and straight from Freya Kemp and Hannah Rowe is bowled. The Kiwi batter couldn't get her bat down in time and is done for pace.

    This is a target over against Freya Kemp. New Zealand are going to try and hit every ball to the boundary.

    I told you we would have that Sarah Glenn catch shortly. Here you go.

    Izzy Gaze is bowled by Sophie EcclestoneImage source, PA Media

    Izzy Gaze gives herself room and then has a little prod at it. If you are going to offer up three stumps you have to try and hit it for four. But she got herself into a tangle and you cannot do that against Sophie Ecclestone. She is number one in the world for a reason.

  20. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17 overs

    Gaze b Ecclestone 2 (NZ 100-6)

    Izzy Gaze gives herself a bit of room to the final ball of Sophie Ecclestone's third over.

    The New Zealand wicketkeeper is attempting to drive the ball through the covers off the back foot, but ends up seeing it clatter into her stumps.

    Ecclestone always keeps the stumps in play.
