  1. Sophie Ecclestone to take the 18th over...

  2. Rosalie Fairbairn
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Mady Villiers probably got to the 15th over and thought she wouldn't be asked to bowl, but she saves so many runs in the field, that's a skill in itself.

  3. Emily Windsor
    Southern Vipers player on BBC Test Match Special

    Is this an important game for Villiers, as you've got Charlie Dean waiting in the wings?

  4. Georgia Elwiss
    England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    I thought New Zealand looked calm and had it in the bag, but that over from Sarah Glenn has changed that. Of course, it was Mady Villiers in the outfield!

  5. wicket

    WICKET Halliday c Villiers b Glenn 3

    NZ 115-5 (Need 13 more off 18 balls)

    Well, you just can't keep Mady Villiers out of the game...

    Brooke Halliday tries to hit Sarah Glenn's last ball down the ground for a maximum but she can't get enough on it and Villiers takes the catch at long-on.

    My word, are New Zealand going to blow this?

  6. Rosalie Fairbairn
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    As a spinner, if you can bowl as many balls as possible that you, your straight extra-cover and your mid-wicket can field, the better.

  7. Georgia Elwiss
    England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    You want to bring the field up to stop those easy singles, but then you risk them hitting over the top.

  9. Four overs to go. Sarah Glenn back on for her final over...

  10. Georgia Elwiss
    England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    There's a real buzz around the field from England, they're all running to their positions and they feel they can cause an upset here.

  11. Rosalie Fairbairn
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    It's a tough ask of a New Zealand side who haven't played a lot of cricket lately. But Katey Martin is vastly experienced, she's been in this situation before, and has got herself off to the perfect start.

  12. NZ 113-4 (target 128)

    Need 15 off 24 balls

    Pressure eased again from New Zealand as Katey Martin steers her first ball behind third for four.

  13. Georgia Elwiss
    England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    I just said you'd probably rather be in New Zealand's camp, but that might change my opinion now! The set batter's out, it's still under a run a ball.

  14. wicket

    WICKET M Green c&b Villiers 21

    NZ 107-4

    Wow! What a fielder Mady Villiers is!

    She comes up with a wicket third ball and it comes from a superb reaction catch off her own bowling to dismiss Maddy Green.

    That was travelling at pace and she clung on two-handed in front of the stumps.

  15. Well, she's produced two superb bits of fielding already and now she's on to bowl for the first time.

    What can Mady Villiers produce here?

  16. Rosalie Fairbairn
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    That was a big over for England - they've now got to starve Green of the strike and bowl as many balls to Halliday as possible, who's only played six T20 internationals.

  17. NZ 105-3 (target 128)

    Need 23 from 30 balls

    Brooke Halliday out there to join Maddy Green.

    Green eases the pressure with a lovely drive square to the point rope for four.

    Just what she and New Zealand needed.

  18. Rosalie Fairbairn
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Devine saw a short ball, thought "I'm hitting that for six" - a lot of other players wouldn't have the mindset of trying to hit it for six over long-on, as she's so powerful, but she didn't quite get hold of it.

  19. Georgia Elwiss
    England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    What a catch, probably not the best ball from Tash Farrant but Mady Villiers has made up a lot of ground there.

  20. wicket

    WICKET Devine c Villiers b Farrant 50

    NZ 100-3

    Not a full toss this one, but it is a wicket-taking delivery from Tash Farrant and a huge one!

    Sophie Devine finally departs as she doesn't connect with a short ball and finds the diving Mady Villiers coming in off the long-on rope.

    Can England steal this one?
