    It think it's pretty straight. Anna Harris didn't hesitate, I think this review is out of hope more than anything...

  2. New Zealand reviewpublished at 37.2 overs

    A review more than hope than expectation.

    It is gun barrel straight from Lauren Bell and Amelia Kerr misses with an attempted heave into the leg side.

    The finger goes up, with Kerr asking for another look upstairs.

    Heather Knight turns to back to the big guns for the final five overs as Lauren Bell returns.

  4. NZ 178-4published at 37 overs

    I think these batters have been given the nod.

    Brooke Halliday shows some aggression with a powerful slog-sweep that flies over deep mid-wicket for four.

    New Zealand have the chance to put on a competitive total here.

    I think an in-form side would be going hell for leather with only five overs left. But this side are thinking they haven't got much in-form batting left, they might have to wait a bit longer.

  6. NZ 172-4published at 36 overs

    Great shot.

    We haven't had a boundary for a while but Amelia Kerr makes up for it with a lovely reverse-sweep through deep third.

    Bouchier made good ground, maybe curving away a little but she'll be disappointed by that. Charlie Dean has deserved a wicket today.

    Put down!

    It is a powerful drive by Brooke Halliday that goes straight to Maia Bouchier in the covers, but the ball bursts from her grasp.

    Bouchier looks furious with herself.

    Limited celebration as she knows she has more work to do. If they want to pass 200, then she's got to keep ticking along.

    50 for Amelia Kerrpublished at 33.4 overs

    Where would New Zealand's innings be without Amelia Kerr?

    She plays a lovely delicate late cut down to deep third for two runs to bring up her half-century from 72 deliveries.

    Kerr raises her bat to the crowd and her dressing room but still looks focused, knowing she needs to significantly add to that total of New Zealand are to get up to a decent score.

    Brooke Halliday gets away with a slightly uppish drive that falls just short of Charlie Dean at point and New Zealand run two.

    That is the closest we have had to a scare for a while. It's all pretty tepid at the moment.

    England are racing through these overs, with New Zealand's rate still hovering at just over four-and-a-half an over.

  12. NZ 151-4published at 32 overs

    Tight line and a full length from Alice Capsey, at the cost of just three singles.

    The cameras keeps focusing in on Amelia Kerr, who is now just three runs away from a battling, if not a vintage, half-century.

  13. NZ 148-4published at 31 overs

    Natalie Sciver-Brunt's face is a picture as she bowls a wild wide that is superbly taken by Amy Jones, who is standing up to the stumps.

    New Zealand's projected score is 202, but they probably need to push a bit beyond that to make things competitive.

    Alice Capsey is thrown the ball for the first time this match.

    Halliday's really strong down the ground. England haven't been putting out their allotted boundary fielders in the series because they haven't had to, but when they haven't she's taken advantage.

  15. NZ 146-4published at 30 overs

    As I say that, Brooke Halliday cuts loose with three boundaries.

    She skips down the track and belts a Sarah Glenn delivery back over her head, before a reverse pull through backward point and a sweep through backward square leg.

    That will make New Zealand feel better. Sarah Glenn, not so much.

  16. NZ 133-4published at 29 overs

    Natalie Sciver-Brunt returns to the attack for her fourth over of the innings, at the cost of just two singles.

    Those collapses must be on the minds of the New Zealand batters as they are being ultra cautious, understandably wary of giving their wickets away cheaply.

    Whisper it quietly, but summer might have returned at Bristol, with the sun properly emerging from behind the clouds.

    Let's hope I haven't jinxed it.

    Five singles from another rapid Sarah Glenn over.

  18. NZ 126-4published at 27 overs

    New Zealand are fully in rebuild mode as they nudge two singles off Kate Cross, who finishes with figures of 2-46 from her nine overs.

  19. Postpublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 3 July

    Here are those two quick wickets to fall - New Zealand hope they won't spark another collapse.

    The good partnership has allowed New Zealand a little bit of breathing room in this period but this partnership will be key. They do have a lot of depth in their batting with the extra batter today.
