  1. WATCH: Brunt removes Devine

    Here's how Katherine Brunt removed the dangerous Sophie Devine...

  2. NZ 94-3

    With their openers gone, so too have the boundaries dried up for New Zealand - Green and Satterthwaite only manage two singles apiece against Ecclestone.

  3. NZ 89-4

    BBC Test Match Special

    Hazell switches to the River End and rattles through her second over, just three singles from it.

    And the F1 is over - so TMS is now live on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra for the rest of the game.

  4. Lydia Greenway
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Maddy Green has been in and out of this New Zealand team for a number of years but she's worked hard on her game, she's played over here in England too.

  5. NZ 86-3

    Satterthwaite 15, Green 1

    Maddy Green in at number five - we're at the halfway point of the innings.

    WICKET

    Bates b Ecclestone 31 (NZ 84-3)

    That's the big one! Having had an lbw appeal turned down the previous ball when Bates swept and missed, Sophie Ecclestone sends down a quicker ball which shatters the Kiwi skipper's stumps, and wheels away in celebration!

    Bates made 31 from 27 balls, but will be disappointed not to have pressed on.

  7. Lydia Greenway
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    New Zealand got off to a flier in the powerplay, but England have a little more control now. I'm sure someone like Jess Watkin will be itching to get out and bat.

  8. NZ 82-2

    Bates stands tall to help George through fine leg for her fifth four. A decent, though unlucky and wicketless, spell for the inexperienced teenager - she has 0-25 from three.

  9. Devine hits first six of the final

    Here's the first highlight for you to watch - the day's first six from Sophie Devine.

  10. NZ 74-2

    Bates 25 (21 balls), Satterthwaite 11 (7)

    Off-spinner Danielle Hazell takes over at, not inappropriately, the Hayes Close End. Take a hat-trick here, and they may just rename it the Hazell Close End...

    But it's a profitable over for the White Ferns as a full toss is blasted through mid-wicket for four by Satterthwaite, while the third-wicket pair pick up some easy singles.

  12. NZ 64-2

    George 2-0-17-0

    England keep rotating their bowlers in one-over spells as Katie George returns. Bates, having lost two batting partners last over, adds a single while Satterthwaite is off the mark - but she nearly chops the last ball onto the stumps as it scoots away for four. it dents George's figures after only conceding three singles from the first five balls.

    Is today a National Fortunate Inside Edge Day or similar?

  13. How's stat?!

    Phil Long
    TMS statistician

    When New Zealand went on to make 216 against South Africa, they were 56-0 after six overs. When England made 250 on the same day, they were 69-0 after six.

  14. NZ 57-2

    Brunt 2-0-13-2

    Left-hander Amy Satterthwaite joins Bates at the crease, she sees off the last over of the powerplay.

  15. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    The prize wicket of Suzie Bates remains intact, but England will feel a lot better about things now.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Martin lbw b Brunt 2 (NZ 57-2)

    Brunt strikes again! Fast, straight and full from the Barnsley firebrand, and wicketkeeper Katey Martin - having guided her first ball for two - is heading back to the pavilion.

  17. Lydia Greenway
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    That looked pretty plumb.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Devine lbw b Brunt 31 (NZ 55-1)

    Katherine Brunt, fired-up as ever, returns at the Hayes Close End - and makes the breakthrough! Trapped on the back foot, Devine departs for 31 from 18 balls.

  19. Lydia Greenway
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Anya Shrubsole overpitched on two deliveries, and Sophie Devine made the most of it. The short boundaries here give the players confidence to take them on.

  20. NZ 54-0

    Shrubsole 2-1-16-0

    A big appeal for lbw from bowler and keeper as Devine is struck on the left boot... umpire unmoved. Devine then hammers a four back past the bowler, and ends the over by launching her second six of the over over mid-wicket. Having started with a maiden, this Shrubsole over went for 16.
