England captain Heather Knight comes to the crease and gets a boundary immediately, driving through the covers.
There's then some confusion as the umpires end the over a ball prematurely, before calling Tahuhu back.
Her final delivery hits Knight on the legs backing away from the stumps, and the England batters hustle through a single.

That's what Lea Tahuhu brings. She brings the wickets into play and that is something this New Zealand team has lacked.
She is always wicket hunting and will bring different modes of dismissal into play.
Sciver-Brunt b Tahuhu 11 (Eng 52-3)
No need to try the review when you can just castle the batter!
Tahuhu clears up Nat Sciver-Brunt as she tries a big heave over mid-wicket.
You miss, I'll hit.

That's absolutely miles away from the bat I've no idea what people heard there.
An extremely speculative review follows from New Zealand.
A good slower bouncer seems well wide of NSB's waft, but they decide to take look. Replays show the ball to be well clear.
Well, it's a short innings, might as well burn those reviews!

That is huge!
Nat Sciver-Brunt brings up the England fifty with a gigantic six, lofting Tahuhu over mid-wicket.
The ball bounces off the roof of an outbuilding and almost clears the boundary wall of the ground. It will have to be replaced.

Ex-New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Sounds
You've got to take those.
She is one of the best fielders, that's why she is out there. But it could be a really costly drop.

How important a drop could that be?

Eng 45-2
Now how costly will that be?
Georgia Plimmer spills Nat Sciver-Brunt running in from backward square. She wasn't quite able to set herself.
Six for Alice Capsey... yes? No?
Capsey drives Jess Kerr flat and hard over the covers - the ball seems to hit the boundary sponge square on.
The TV umpire takes an extensive look and finally it's a yes, six it is.
Sciver-Brunt gets off the mark straight away with a heave into mid-wicket, before Capsey misses out with a big swing at Tahuhu's final delivery, the ball passing just over the stumps.

Image source, Getty ImagesExcellent piece of bowling by Lea Tahuhu. Really clever.
She looked to bring the stumps into play. Full and straight. Maia Bouchier went long but did not quite get enough on it and finds the safe hands of Maddy Green.
Bouchier c Green b Tahuhu 23 (Eng 32-2)
But now Bouchier departs!
Tries to loft Tahuhu down the ground, but picks out Maddy Green at long-on.
A crucial wicket for New Zealand, but here comes the small matter of Nat Sciver-Brunt.
Daniel Norcross
BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds
Maia Bouchier is a captivating player to watch. She has such beautiful timing.
Now Bouchier strikes back-to-back fours!
She tries to drive Lea Tahuhu but sees a thick edge fly to the ropes at third, following up with a pull that drops just short of the boundary at backward square before bouncing over.

Former England bowler on BBC Sounds
New Zealand will be happy with that powerplay. They have kept the score down and took the key wicket of Danni Wyatt.
Get another one here and who knows what might happen.
Alice Capsey is the new England batter, while Sophie Devine has taken over with the ball for New Zealand.
The 19-year-old strikes the Kiwi skipper for consecutive fours, ramping the ball over her shoulder and then playing a squirty drive past the fielder at backward point.

Danni Wyatt was brilliant in Southampton. Today she gives herself some room, hits it a little bit aerial and it goes straight to Jess Kerr.
Wyatt c J Kerr b Rowe 0 (Eng 16-1)
Bouchier may be firing, but Danni Wyatt doesn't get the chance to join her!
She makes room to attempt to cut Rowe to the third boundary, and only manages to guide the ball into the hands of Jess Kerr at gully.
Wyatt departs for a three-ball duck.
