Has Sophie Devine been stumped down the leg side?

She doesn't seem fussed, and the England fielders haven't bothered to come together.

Bates dropped on sevenpublished at 2 overs

NZ 11-0

Oh! Another missed opportunity!

This one is tough, admittedly, as Suzie Bates drives straight back at Tash Farrant, and the England left-armer can't gather cleanly in her follow through.

Bates pumps the next ball for four through mid-wicket. Punished.

It would have been out, she wasn't even in the frame.

Oh, missed opportunity!

Suzie Bates drives to Heather Knight at extra cover, and Sophie Devine sets off from the non-striker's end. She gets sent back by Bates, but Knight has released quickly and Tash Farrant has an opportunity to run Devine out, but she misses the stumps with her first attempt, allowing Devine to get back.

I don't mind that from Tash Farrant, she is just trying to get the ball full and see if she can get that swing, but Suzie Bates stepped onto it and slapped the ball through the covers.

Shot!

Tash Farrant over pitches slightly and Suzie Bates slaps the ball in the gap between cover and mid-off for the first boundary.

Amy Jones is stood up to the stumps for Farrant.

This England fielding line-up - you have Heather Knight at slip, Natalie Sciver at mid-wicket and Sophia Dunkley at extra cover, they are an unbelievable fielding unit. Something they have worked extremely hard on these last few months.

Katherine Brunt drops a little bit short and wide and Suzie Bates, playing her 250th international, cuts away for three.

Normally that would have raced to the boundary, but we've had a lot of rain in Somerset today, and in the recent days, so it held up.

A rather sedate start.

Three dot balls to start.

Admittedly aided by some good fielding by Maia Bouchier in the covers.

Unsurprisingly it'll be Katherine Brunt with the new ball.

Sue Redfern is back on umpiring duties too, which is a delight for us all to enjoy.

She's not playing tonight, it's fair to say England will miss Mady Villiers in the field...

England are making their way out to the middle.

They'll need to bowl better than the other night. They bowled a soul destroying 19 wides on Saturday - they can't afford to do that again.

England don't lose T20 series too often...

They will be hopeful of maintaining this excellent record tonight.

BBC Red Button

Out and about today and can't catch all the action? Don't worry, we've got you covered.

As usual this page will have live text updates, TMS commentary - with Henry Moeran, Daniel Norcross, England all-rounder Georgia Elwiss & 2017 World Cup winner Alex Hartley forming tonight's team - and in-play video clips.

There is then a 30-minute highlights show on BBC Red Button at 22:30 BST, with the action available to catch-up on on BBC iPlayer after.

You literally can't miss a thing.

In case you've missed the series so far, it is level at 1-1.

England's Tammy Beaumont crashed a brilliant 97 in the opening game as England cruised to an empathetic 46-run win.

New Zealand thought back in the second game with captain Sophie Devine, making her 100th T20 international appearance, leading the way with bat and ball.

Have a watch of Devine below.

hypocaust: Suzie Bates becomes the first woman to make 250 international appearances for New Zealand:

• 250 Suzie Bates
• 239 Amy Satterthwaite
• 212 Sara McGlashan, Sophie Devine
• 181 Nicola Browne, Katey Martin

We looked a batter light the other night and that showed by the runs we got on the board, so that extra batter today should give the upper order licence to play a bit freely. Taunton is known for lots of runs so hopefully we see that tonight.

New Zealand captain Sophie Devine to Sky Sports: "We would have had a bowl as well, given the overhead conditions, but happy to have a bat.

"There's still massive improvements we can make which is really exciting for us.

"Even though we got the win to know we have room for improvement is something to get excited about and to play what is essentially a final for us is awesome preparation moving forward."

On Suzie Bates making her 250th international appearance: "It's unbelievable. She stayed in bed a bit longer today because she realise how old she was. But it's a fantastic achievement, a first New Zealand woman to do so. I'm sure we will reflect on that post this game."

Tonight is also a landmark night for New Zealand opener Suzie Bates.

She is playing her 250th game for the White Ferns, and extremely satisfactorily she has played 125 ODIs and now 125 T20s.

That is brilliant.
