  1. NZ 9-0

    Target 156

    The third ball of the over is proving to be the lucky charm for Suzie Bates.

    She scores off it, like she did in the opening over, only this time crunching a wider ball from Lauren Filer with a flat bat for four.

    Ex-New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Two

    It's been a difficult tour for Georgia Plimmer and she won't shy about that but she's got that X-Factor and she plays without fear. She can score 360 all around the ground. It's all there, she is just waiting for the scores.

  3. NZ 5-0

    Target 156

    Georgia Plimmer also gets off the mark, clipping the ball through the leg side and beating the diving Freya Kemp.

    A dot ball ends that Lauren Bell over, with five runs coming off it.

  4. NZ 1-0

    Target 156

    New Zealand get off the mark with a single, but it takes three balls for Suzie Bates to put a single on the scorecard.

  5. Target 156

    Right, back to the middle and New Zealand are about to get their innings under way.

    Lauren Bell will open the bowling at Suzie Bates.

  6. Fran Jonas had an evening to remember with the ball, taking four wickets and ending with figures of 4-22.

    You can watch all four of those wickets back here.

  7. Frankie Mackay
    Ex-New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Two

    I make it 60-40 to England, who have got their noses ahead by reaching 155.

  8. Anya Shrubsole
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    I'd say it's honours even and a par score. New Zealand will be disappointed perhaps that England got up to 155-7.

  9. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Two

    A game of two halves so far. New Zealand dominated, and the spinners did really well, but England have fought back well.

  10. NEW ZEALAND NEED 156 TO WIN
    Breaking

    England end on 155-7 from their 20 overs, setting New Zealand a target of 156 to win the final T20 of this series at Lord's.

    New Zealand started that innings really well, but England fought back, helped by a 46 not out from captain Heather Knight and a quickfire 24 from Charlie Dean.

  11. Eng 152-7

    Runs down there for Sophie Ecclestone.

    Just a little tickle off the bat stays fine off the bowling of Sophie Devine and finds four.

  12. Heather Knight has been the pick of the England batters so far, with this shot being the best of the.

  13. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Two

    Sophie Ecclestone has worked on her batting and she's becoming a genuine all-rounder who can finish games with her batting power.

  14. Eng 147-7

    Six come off the over in total, which came with an important wicket for New Zealand.

    Sophie Ecclestone is out with Heather Knight in the middle. Knight is closing in on a half-century, but will she get over the line?

  15. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Two

    There's no real celebration from the bowler or keeper, it's a weird one that.

    WICKET

    Dean c&b J Kerr 24 (Eng 144-7)

    A very odd wicket, but Charlie Dean is out.

    Jess Kerr's delivery was hit back at her by Dean. There were checks over a bump ball, but replays showed she hit that straight back into the hands of bowler Kerr.

    England's best partnership comes to an end in rather bizarre fashion.

  17. Frankie Mackay
    Ex-New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Two

    I think this is out and she's just chipped it back.

  18. Umpire review

    Eng 144-6

    A bit of confusion here as Charlie Dean is caught by Jess Kerr.

    It looked a bump ball but New Zealand are celebrating.

    It goes upstairs.

  19. Frankie Mackay
    Ex-New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Two

    It's not great bowling this, unfortunately.

  20. Eng 141-6

    This partnership is now on 54 runs off 33 balls and going very nicely.
