    You know it is exciting because of me and Georgia are standing up and we didn't even plan it.

  2. Eng 117-4

    England showing intent now.

    Hayley Jensen is really taking the pace off the ball - but Heather Knight does just enough to pierce the covers.

    Knight then knocks it into the onside, immediately calls for two and manages to make it home.

    She then gets a bit lucky as an attempted cut goes down fine for four. Katey Martin is stood up so had not chance to stop it.

    England need 28 from four overs - you would think that is very doable.

    This game is deliciously poised.

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

    Sophia Dunkley is a batter that loves to score runs - she doesn't like dot balls. I don't mind her attacking because she can take the pressure off Heather Knight.

  5. Eng 108-4

    Sophia Dunkley is looking a little nervy out there as she completely skews a drive over point for two runs. She finds the middle of the bat next up, but it's only good enough for one run.

    Seven runs off it. 37 needed from 30.

  6. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    It feels like Heather Knight is just starting to find her timing a little bit.

  7. We keep seeing shots of somebody's pet dog slowly nodding off on Gimblett's Hill.

    The game is a lot more exciting than that, I promise.

  8. Eng 101-4

    Eng need 44 from 36 balls

    Sophia Dunkley is the next batter and it's a scratchy start.

    She picks out the fielder at mid-off with a perfectly timed drive before attempting a rather ugly slog but can only chop the ball into the ground.

  9. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    England's lengthy batting will be tested here you'll fancy.

  10. Get Involved - Floodlight failure

    The floodlights also failed briefly during the recent Somerset County Championship match against Nottinghamshire. We thought it was because the home team was performing so badly.

    It looked like the slower ball yorker from Kasperek and it was very well disguised. Quite often they can just loop up and be full tosses.

    WICKET

    Jones b Kasperek 32 (Eng 97-4)

    What a response!

    Kasperek tosses it up nice and full and Jones can only drag an inside edge on to her own stumps.

  13. Eng 97-3

    Leigh Kasperek continues - she is 2-7 from her first two overs - but she drops it in too short and that's a brilliant shot from Amy Jones, powering a pull through the onside for four.

    Lovely stuff.

    Amy Satterthwaite has gone away from her plan that did so well in her first over. She looked to bowl into the pitch in that over, but she hasn't done that in this over.

  16. Eng 89-3

    Just as a say that - England clean up in Amy Satterthwaite's next over.

    Amy Jones sweeps fine before another Thamsyn Newton error makes it back-to-back boundaries.

    Heather Knight then gets into the action by giving a full toss the treatment, smacking it through backward square leg.

    16 off the over in total. The pendulum swings England's away again.

  17. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I am always begging for a nailbiter in a series decider!

  18. Eng 73-3

    Eng need 72 from 54 balls

    This is building up to a close finish. The boundaries have started to dry up as England run five from Hannah Rowe's first over.

  19. Two wickets in two from Leigh Kasperek helped drag New Zealand back into the game.

  20. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    A little bit of pressure is starting to build on England, and Heather Knight. She won't be worried yet, though.
