  1. Eng 51-3published at 7.4 overs

    Shot!

    Slower from Sophie Devine and Sophia Dunkley punts it down the ground for another boundary. She's up to 20.

    That one ball has cost New Zealand 10 runs.

  2. Eng 47-3published at 7.3 overs

    Oh yes, she can! It is wild, down the leg side, and Sophia Dunkley works it to the fine leg boundary.

    It was above waist height too, so it is another free hit! This is turning into a mess from Sophie Devine.

  3. Eng 42-3published at 7.3 overs

    Oh, a free hit! Sophie Devine has bowled two bouncers in the over, when you're only allowed one.

    Can Sophia Dunkley capitalise?

    Peter Hague: This is already looking a lot better from NZ The first T20 was not an accurate representation of where they are as a team.

  5. Eng 40-3published at 7 overs

    Tidy over from Amy Satterthwaite, conceding just four singles.

    She has started round the wicket, firing it across the right handers. She got absolutely mullered, bowling that angle, to Amy Jones on Wednesday, so I'm sure she was relieved to see the back of the England wicketkeeper.

    That's where the slope plays a part here.

    As a spinner, you can't generate that much pace bowling uphill and that's what gave Danni Wyatt time to get back in her crease.

  7. Not outpublished at 19:29 British Summer Time 4 September 2021

    Danni Wyatt gets back in the nick of time.

    Katey Martin had to reach a long way, outside the off stump, to collect the ball and then bring the ball back into the stumps.

  8. Umpire reviewpublished at 19:28 British Summer Time 4 September 2021

    Has Danni Wyatt been stumped?

    She came a long way down the track, and was deceived, but the ball seemed to take an age to get into Katey Martin's gloves, and her for her to whip the bails off.

    Here's how Tammy Beaumont - who made a match-winning 97 on Wednesday - was dismissed.

    Sophia Dunkley batted at three this summer in The Hundred for the Southern Brave so she had a lot of time in the middle.

  12. Eng 36-3published at 6 overs

    Dunkley 11, Wyatt 7

    Sophia Dunkley looks in good touch here. She ends the over with a flick through mid-wicket for a couple, but she timed it so, so well.

    That's the end of the powerplay. Undoubtedly New Zealand's.

  13. Eng 34-3published at 5.5 overs

    Oh, four more.

    It is in the slot from Jess Kerr but Sophia Dunkley plays a beautiful straight drive to pick up her second boundary of the over.

    What an exciting start.

    As a neutral, you want it to be interesting and a few early wickets gives Sophia Dunkley a chance here to build a crucial innings.

  15. Eng 30-3published at 5.3 overs

    Shot!

    Sophia Dunkley picks up her first boundary with a glorious drive, on the up, through point.

    It doesn't get much better than that.

    The stats normally say that if you lose three wickets in the powerplay, you struggle to win.

    Danni Wyatt, Sophia Dunkley and Maia Bouchier are going to have to stand up and deliver if England are to win this game, and take an unassailable 2-0 series lead.

    She can't believe she's been caught.

    Amy Jones hit that well, but she just leant back on it a touch and it's a terrific catch only a few inches off the ground.

    Jones c Newton b Devine 0 (Eng 25-3)

    Two in two!

    It was full, very full, from Sophie Devine and Amy Jones has to dig it out to drive it, but she hits it straight to Thamsyn Newton in the covers.

    Another good catch from New Zealand, who were guilty of dropping four in the first game.

    That was good field placement by New Zealand.

    Nat Sciver normally can't resist trying to hit the ball aerial when it's sliding down legside like that.

    A good catch, she had to gather herself running down the hill.

    Wild celebrations for the New Zealand fielders, who know how crucial that could be.
