    Wow! It is a terrific piece of fielding.

    WICKET

    Plimmer run out (Dean) 7 (NZ 21-1)

    Yep, gone!

    Suzie Bates cuts Lauren Bell into the ground and calls her opening partner through.

    The ball reaches Charlie Dean at backward point on the edge of the ring and she sends in a superb throw that beats the diver of Plimmer.

    In comes Amelia Kerr.

    Often these are out...

  4. Umpire review

    Has Georgia Plimmer been run out from the direct hit?

    Charlie Dean with the throw, we'll go upstairs...

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

    There has been signs from Sophie Devine so far, she's started well in both games.

  6. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    New Zealand would love to create a platform for Sophie Devine to go berserk later on.

  7. NZ 20-0

    Sharp delivery from Cross, but it's another over-step so we'll get a second free hit from her bowling.

    Bates dispatches it for four, dropping to a knee to slog-sweep the ball square - one bounce and over the ropes.

  8. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    That ball may have just stopped a bit in the pitch. Georgia Plimmer was certainly bamboozled by it anyway.

  9. NZ 11-0

    Ooooh, not all that far away.

    Plimmer moves to pull Bell, but then seems to hesitate in the shot and ends up dropping the ball just short of the England seamer, who just misses out on taking the return catch on the tumble.

    After bowling another delivery Bell chooses to bring the physio onto the field to apply a plaster to a grazed elbow, before Plimmer picks up two turning the over's final ball down to the fine leg boundary.

    Suzie BatesPA Media

    Suzie Bates maybe hasn't quite got back to her best after the shoulder injury but she's still a world-class player. It just isn't quite there at the moment but it is still there and it is about how she gets back there.

  11. NZ 10-0

    Bates takes a single from the final ball of the over, driving the ball to mid-on.

    The only run from a tidy over from Cross, terrible review aside.

  12. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    That is a scandalously terrible review. It is truly abysmal.

  13. Not out

    Yep, impact outside the line.

    Bates took a big step down the pitch, taking her front leg outside her off stump.

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

    It just didn't quite look right. Kate Cross was adamant though.

  15. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    My hunch was just outside the line, but Amy Jones and Kate Cross seem to be indicating that it was going down the leg side.

  16. England review

    Kate Cross thinks she's trapped Suzie Bates in front!

    Nothing from umpire Rob White, and it looks like it hit outside the line, but England's bowler fancies it and we'll go upstairs.

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

    There seems to be a good zip off the pitch. There's good signs.

  18. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    You do sense that New Zealand are going to have to be more proactive with the bat today.

  19. NZ 9-0

    Lauren BellGetty Images

    Lauren Bell takes the ball at the other end for England.

    Georgia Plimmer leans on her final delivery, guiding the ball behind square for two.

  20. NZ 5-0

    Ffion... please don't.

    In fairness it doesn't look too heavy, so the players are hanging on for the moment.

    Bates tucks Cross away through mid-wicket for the first four of the innings, before the England bowler over-steps to concede a free hit.

    Bates takes a giant leap to the offside in an attempt to aggressively pull Cross to the boundary, but fails to make a connection.
