    Dunkley times a drive but gets a hand on it and they scramble two.

    Four needed from two..

    Katherine Brunt misses a slog=sweep first u[p before they scramble a single.

    Six from three..

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

    Oh no, no, no. That gives New Zealand even more of a chance.

    WICKET

    Bouchier b Satterthwaite 1 (Eng 138-6)

    Clean bowled!!!

    Maia Bouchier attempts to launch it out of the ground but gets nothing on it and the ball clatters into her leg stump.

  5. Amy Satterthwaite to bowl the final over...

  6. The crowd are dancing to Neil Diamond as we prepare for the final over.

    So good, so good, so good.....

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

    I love that from Maia Bouchier. Nerves? What nerves?

  8. Eng 138-5

    Maia Bouchier gets a single to complete the over.

    England need seven from six.

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

    Here we go! That is not what England would have wanted. This really heats it up and makes it interesting.

  10. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    Maybe the game is swinging again.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Knight c Bates b Devine 42 (Eng 137-5)

    Knight has gone!

    The skipper tries to carve it through the onside but can only smash it straight to Suzie Bates at extra cover.

    Do we have a final twist?

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

    Great shot! It is an absolutely brilliant shot. You don't often see batters sweeping seamers but she does it all the time in the nets. She's unlucky not to get six for that.

  13. Eng 134-4

    Shot! England edging closer and it's the captain who is leading them home.

    Heather Knight times a slog-sweep perfectly into the onside for a one-bounce four.

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

    It is tight. You would still rather by England, especially with them all being four wickets down.

    This is a big over. In the women's game we speak about the penultimate over being a big one.

  15. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    It feels like all the tension around the finish has just been dispersed a bit.

  16. Eng 129-4

    Harsh from the crowd as they give Thamsyn Newton a sarcastic cheer when she fields at square leg.

    England, meanwhile, are rotating the strike nicely, picking out the ones and twos with ease.

    Three off it - England need 16 more runs from 12 balls.

  17. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    Thamsyn Newton is just having one of those nights in the field. Moments like that always look horrible.

  18. Eng 124-4

    Oh dear, it's not Thamsyn Newton's night.

    Heather Knight slogs it towards deep square leg but Newton hesitates and slips, with the ball spinning past her for four.

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

    Heather Knight has to bat through. She has to be the stabiliser in this partnership and Sophia Dunkley can have a bit of a licence.

  20. This is how Amy Jones was dismissed. She went big - but could only chop onto her own stumps.
