A crumb of comfort for New Zealand as Jess Kerr heaves Charlie Dean's first ball for four through mid-on, before almost seeing herself caught by a diving Maia Bouchier at mid-wicket.
Kerr takes a single, leaving Jonas to see off the final four balls of Dean's spell for no score.
The England all-rounder finishes with figures of 2-35.

I'm not going to lie, the batting has been woeful.
Fran Jonas survives the final ball of the over.
Double wicket maiden, as you do.

Terrific stuff from Sophie Ecclestone. New Zealand have no answer.

Five-fer for Ecclestone!
Four wickets down without scoring for New Zealand as England's superstar knocks over the stumps of new batter Molly Penfold.
Having gone rather slowly initially, this innings is ending rather rapidly.
'Terrific stuff!' Ecclestone bowls Penfold

This is a monumental collapse and failure with the bat for New Zealand.
Gaze c Sciver-Brunt b Ecclestone 0 (NZ 124-8)
And another one goes!
Gaze punches Ecclestone straight to Nat Sciver-Brunt at mid-off.
Gaze holes out to Sciver-Brunt off the bowling of Ecclestone
As with the previous over, a new batter comes in - this time Jess Kerr - comes in faces three dot balls to begin their innings.
A Kerr c & b Dean 43 (NZ 124-7)
There's an attempt at cracking on... and it goes badly!
Kerr fires the ball straight back into the hands of bowler Charlie Dean, who takes a sharp catch dropping to a knee.
The New Zealand number three goes for 43 from 86 balls - could have done with being rather hastier.
'Sharp work' - Dean catches Kerr off her own bowling

In the 37th over, Sophie Ecclestone only has one fielder out on the boundary.
Supreme confidence.
Three balls to start for number eight Isabella Gaze.
New Zealand, and more specifically Amelia Kerr, need to crack on here.
Katherine Sciver-Brunt
Ex-England bowler on BBC Sounds
The ball is just starting to turn and that isn't easy to face when you're coming back to the game after a two-year absence.
Down b Ecclestone 0 (NZ 124-6)
Down goes for a duck!
She prods defensively at Ecclestone's delivery, only to see the ball turn sharply past her bat and knock over her stumps.
Lovely bowling from the England spinner, as per.
'Bowled her!' Ecclestone removes Down
Katherine Sciver-Brunt
Ex-England bowler on BBC Sounds
I feel sorry for Lauren Down here. She's come into a situation where her team haven't had a great innings so far and she's got to get a move on against the best two bowlers in the world.
In comes Lauren Down, at the non-striker's end initially as Kerr faces up to Charlie Dean.
A single into the leg side brings her on strike, and she fends off three dot balls.

That is interesting. The missed stumping came from extra bounce, but that kept a little low.
There is a little bit of inconsistent bounce in this pitch. Not demons as such, just a little bit of inconsistent bounce, and that is all someone like Sophie Ecclestone needs.

Halliday b Ecclestone 6 (NZ 122-5)
Halliday goes at the second attempt!
The New Zealand batter takes a big waft at Sophie Ecclestone, offering a feather edge that's put down by Amy Jones standing up behind the stumps.
No matter - she departs two balls later, her off stump poleaxed as she attempted to sweep the England spinner away.
Ecclestone bowls Halliday for six
Phil Long
BBC Test Match Special statistician
Amelia Kerr has only faced nine balls in the past seven overs.
Charlie Dean sends down a maiden to Brooke Halliday.
