Ecclestone takes wicket and then leaves the field injured

  1. Eng 98-1published at 19 overs

    Target 169

    Thanks Sam.

    One single off Lea Tahuhu's fourth over - she's bowled well thus far, taking 1-9.

    Regardless, England require just 2.29 runs an over for victory.

  2. Eng 96-1published at 18 overs

    Target 169

    Short again to end the over, Amy Jones makes a good connection but has to settle for a single after finding the deep mid-wicket fielder.

    With England seemingly cruising to victory, it is time for Mike Peter to come in and take all the glory...

    Eden Carson is getting her length slightly wrong and Heather Knight is not going to miss out on those.

  4. Eng 96-1published at 17.4 overs

    Target 169

    Full and sliding down leg from Eden Carson and Heather Knight won't miss out.

    Swept past short fine leg for four.

    Four more. A drag down this time and Knight again nails the ball past short fine leg.

    Target 169

    Possibly, Chris, but I suppose it is about getting players used to their roles as well.

    As much as time in the middle might be beneficial, if England want them coming later in the innings, any benefit is lessened if they're having to do a completely different job here.

    Also, I think getting back to winning ways is probably the priority today.

    Anyway, maiden over from Lea Tahuhu.

    Would it have been an idea to give Dunkley or Wyatt-Hodge some time at the crease after that wicket?

  7. Eng 86-1published at 16 overs

    Target 169

    Off-spinner Eden Carson is into the attack for New Zealand.

    England take seven from it, including a single assisted by Heather Knight as she does very little to get out of Carson's way when Amy Jones punches the ball back down the ground.

    Charlotte Edwards' side are now more than halfway to their target with just another 83 runs required.

  8. Eng 79-1published at 15 overs

    Target 169

    Heather Knight is off the mark with a boundary first ball.

    Slightly too wide from Lea Tahuhu and the former England skipper just guides the ball down to the deep third boundary.

    Amy Jones has to know that is hitting middle of middle and she needs to be strong enough to say that is out.

    Beaumont lbw b Tahuhu 40 (Eng 75-1)

    Gone. Hitting middle and off halfway up.

    A very odd review because I think even Tammy Beaumont knew it was out.

    Good bowling from Lea Tahuhu, though. Full and straight, keeping the stumps in play and at a good pace.

    Perhaps it nipped back just a fraction and Beaumont was plumb.

    If Tammy Beaumont does not have bat on that, she looks to be gone. She is referring it without confidence.

  12. England reviewpublished at 14.4 overs

    Eng 75-0

    Tammy Beaumont is given out lbw and, despite a review, I think she's in trouble.

    She got a big stride in to the full ball from Lea Tahuhu but it looked pretty adjacent.

    This is now England’s highest opening stand so far in the tournament - no team has passed 50 more often than their four occasions.

    On the other end of the scale are New Zealand who’s best opening stand is just 35, with an average opening partnership of just 11 - no side has had a worse opening pair in the tournament.

  14. drinks break

    Eng 74-0published at 14 overs

    Target 169

    Two boundaries early in the over so England are happy just to milk singles from the next four.

    Drinks come on with the required rate down to just 2.63.

    England would have to go some not to win from here but should remember New Zealand were 89-1 before collapsing in their innings.

    Both Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones have a superb head-to-head record with New Zealand wrist spinner Amelia Kerr in ODI cricket.

    As a pair they have faced 262 deliveries from A.Kerr, scoring 200 runs with just two dismissals.

  16. Eng 70-0published at 13.2 overs

    Target 169

    Lovely shot.

    Overpitched by Melie Kerr and Tammy Beaumont middles the ball through the covers for four.

    Four more! Dragged down this time and Beaumont thumps it behind square on the leg side and, despite a good diving effort in the deep, the ball hits the boundary sponge.

    Lea Tahuhu is into the attack and her added pace sees her beat Tammy Beaumont, who was trying to cut a ball that was much too straight for that shot.

    Four from the over, two of which come from leg-side wides as Tahuhu loses her radar.

  18. Eng 58-0published at 12 overs

    Target 169

    No real surprise to see Amy Jones targeting the leg side but her commitment to doing so is shown in this over against Melie Kerr.

    A very slow, loopy delivery from the leggie is well wide of off stump but almost the moment the ball was released, Jones was getting across her stumps and sweeps to leg for one.

    Had she stayed where she was, I fancy she could have thrashed it through the covers.

    The start of the tournament was really tricky for openers but Amy Jones and Tammy Beaumont are finding some form at a very convenient time.

  20. Eng 55-0published at 11 overs

    Target 169

    A wide, a couple of singles and another full toss that doesn't find its way to the boundary complete Sophie Devine's over.

    The latter did at least bring two as Tammy Beaumont got the ball into gap between the two fielders sweeping on the leg side.
