Target 220
Sophie Ecclestone drops short, Sophie Devine rocks back and mows it over cow corner for four.
It's getting cloudier, in fact Ali Mitchell has called it a 'duvet of darkness'. Lovely stuff.

Target 220
Laura Marsh tosses one up, but Sophie Devine skips down the track, opens her shoulders and whips it over cover for four.
The lights are taking effect as the cloud comes over, will the weather have a say?

Target 220
Run-fests are very trendy these days, but I love a low-scoring thriller. Remember the World Cup semi in 1999 between Australia & South Africa? That kind of thing - and this is shaping up to be one.
Those wickets might have changed things but Sophie Devine will be key. Meanwhile, Amy Satterthwaite gets off the mark. And, as a Cumbrian, I want to know of any other international cricketers who share their surname with a village in that great county.
Six!published at 21 overs
NZ 92-3
Sophie Devine rocks back and pulls Laura Marsh for an almighty six over mid-wicket. That's the first maximum of the day.

David Wallace: Dean Jones broke a few windows at Hove some years back. My best friend's dad was one who had to get a glazier in.
50 for Sophie Devinepublished at 20 overs
NZ 85-3
Sophie Devine rocks back and cuts a single which brings up his 12th ODI 50 (in 96 matches). She's key to New Zealand here.
Anyway, that's me done. Here's Tim Oscroft to see you through the remainder of the run-chase.

Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match SpecialEngland know how important that wicket is! Bates is a world class operator but she goes early. I'm surprised with the choice of shot, the big slog-sweep when there are fielders out there in the deep.

Bates b Marsh 1 (NZ 84-3)
That's the game, ladies and gentlemen.
Maybe I'm going early on that one, but you sense it's a huge blow. Suzie Bates goes for a wild slog sweep and is bowled by a jubilant Laura Marsh.
NZ 76-2published at 18 overs
Target 220
Suzie Bates is the new batter at the crease. She's pinned in front by Ecclestone, over-balancing. A loud appeal, but it's not out.

Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match SpecialEngland really needed that. So often when they need something to happen they turn to Sophie Ecclestone. It just got under bat of Green, looking to dance down the wicket and she almost yorked herself.

Green b Ecclestone 23 (NZ 74-2)
There you go... how often does drinks bring a wicket?
Sophie Ecclestone tempts Maddy Green forward, who swishes at fresh air and is bowled through the gate. The breakthrough England needed.
NZ 74-1published at 17 overs
Target 220
England desperately need a wicket here. Maybe a drinks break can induce one. Apparently there's some rain on the horizon too. That may suit New Zealand, especially if they keep wickets in hand.
NZ 73-1published at 16 overs
Carl Hooper... what a player! Anybody who bats in a floppy hat is a hero to me. I like that they've kept the hole too. Adds character - although I may say differently if Carl Hooper ever smashed a six through my window.

Can you see the small, golden fox at the top right of this picture? Next to it is a hole, just about visible. It was made by a Carl Hooper six, I'm told.

On Ben Stokes:
"Ben is better for the time he spent at the crease.He was more watchful today and we hope from that that he can build on that time which he was at the crease and his confidence and his strokeplay. I thought he played sensibility in terms of the rebuilding."

This is the type of cover drive Ian Bell would be proud of. Sophie Devine continues to score heavily through the off side as she steers a couple through point.

Target 220
After a quick search on t'internet, I've discovered that Jacob Oram is New Zealand's bowling coach. Which explains why he's stood examining a bat.
There's not too much to report from the middle, to be honest. Just steady accumulation from the tourists.
NZ 58-1published at 13 overs
Target 220
Sophie Devine is playing a good hand here. She's scoring at more than a run a ball - 36 off 32. I'm sure I've just seen ex-Black Caps all-rounder Jacob Oram on the boundary. Is he involved with the White Ferns now?
NZ 57-1published at 12 overs
Is there a more wholehearted cricketer than Katherine Brunt - in both the men's and women's game? The fast bowler, who put everything into every delivery, saves a certain four on the boundary with a diving stop. It might prove crucial in the final reckoning.

On Joe Root:
"Joe is probably going through one of those periods in his career over the last month and a half where he hasn’t spent as much time at the crease as he has in the last four years. He’s been a massive run scorer for England in all formats. He’s hitting the ball very well in the nets.
"All top batsmen go through this.It’s probably the first time in his international career where he hasn’t spent as much time at the crease. In terms of how he is as a bloke, he’s the same guy in the dressing room. He’s practising the same way.He probably just needs one knock in the middle."
