    New Zealand get that double breakthrough that they needed. They're pegging England back in these final stages.

    WICKET

    Brunt b Kerr 43 (Eng 232-7)

    Oh!

    Well, the intent to score was there from Katherine Brunt as she walks down the wicket, gets in a bit of a tangle, misses the ball and is bowled.

  3. Eng 232-6

    Three balls. Three singles.

    Brunt on strike to Kerr. I'm expecting some big shots.

  4. Eng 229-6

    And Ecclestone is off the mark with a single.

  5. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    England have sent out Sophie Ecclestone instead of Charlie Dean and that's for one reason only: to get on with it!

  6. Alison Mitchell

    Heather Knight just pats it back down the pitch to the bowler.

    Oh... hang on! It's out! She's been caught and bowled! There was no reaction or celebration from New Zealand at all.

    WICKET

    Knight c & b Kasperek 89 (Eng 228-6)

    Leigh Kasperek tosses one up and Heather Knight hits it straight back to the bowler. It's an easy catch and that's the end of Knight's fine innings.

    It was a strange dismissal in that no New Zealand fielder really celebrated and Knight just stood there for a moment before walking off.

  8. Alex Hartley

    Brilliant shot from Katherine Brunt. She did a pretend shimmy over to the leg side to put the bowler off her length and just whacked it straight down the ground.

  9. Eng 227-5

    Here we go! Katherine Brunt makes some space and clubs Leigh Kasperek back down the ground for four.

  10. England will be hoping for plenty more of these in the final four overs...

  11. Eng 221-5

    Knight 88, Brunt 36

    Sophie Devine bowls a full toss which Brunt can only take a single from. But Knight doesn't make the same mistake, sweeping through backward square leg for four. It was there to be hit.

    England are finding the odd boundary here but it's not explosive batting.

  12. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I think England will look to go at eight an over minimum from here. They'll try and get that boundary early in the over so they can just tick it along for the remaining balls without pressure.

  13. Eng 213-5

    Another huge heave from Katherine Brunt and this time a thick outside edge sends the ball ballooning over short third man for four.

    Aside from that, a solid over from Hannah Rowe.

  14. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Katherine Brunt's batting has really matured. She used to come in and play those big shots from the start, but she's rotated the strike well here to get Heather Knight facing most of the balls.

    She's got herself in now so might start going for it a bit more.

  15. Eng 205-5

    Quality fielding from Lauren Down as a diving stop at point stops what looked like a certain four.

    It's also a brilliant over from Jess Kerr, conceding just four singles.

  16. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Lea Tahuhu once dislocated her shoulder celebrating a win. She was batting at number 11 and when the winning runs were hit, she threw her arms in the air to celebrate and popped her shoulder out!

  17. 200 runs

    Eng 201-5

    Knight 78, Brunt 28

    Heather Knight has clearly made it her mission to up the rate in the final 10.

    Leg-spinner Leigh Kasperek pitches it up and Knight executes the most perfect reverse sweep through point for four!

    England add singles to the boundary to take eight from the over, and bringing up the 200.

  18. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    If New Zealand can take a couple of quick wickets, they'll be favourites. Knight and Brunt staying in is the key for England, though.

    It's always a good batting pitch at Bristol so 280 is probably around par.

  19. Steven Finn
    Ex-England seamer on BBC Test Match Special

    A knee-high full toss is exactly what Heather Knight wants in the last 10 overs!

  20. Eng 193-5

    It's captain to captain as Sophie Devine bowls a loose full toss which Heather Knight capitalises on - the ball pulled through square leg for four.

    This partnership is now worth 53 from 65.
