    They didn't seem particularly confident at first.

  2. New Zealand reviewpublished at 31.1 overs

    Has Charlie Dean been caught behind?

    New Zealand have apparently sent it upstairs. It wasn't obvious that they had, we had a long pause.

  3. Eng 134-6published at 31 overs

    What can England defend? That will be the conversation that is happening right now. They'll want at least 200 you would think. Anything below that and if one of Suzie Bates, Amy Satterthwaite or Sophie Devine get going then the game could be over rather quickly.

    Three runs added.

    Leigh Kasperek mixes up her pace very well. She's been deceiving Danni Wyatt a bit with her arm ball, which she is very good at disguising.

  5. Eng 131-6published at 30 overs

    England have been all out in their last two ODIs - the final game in the series against India, and the opening game of this series on Thursday. They've really got to find a way to bat the final 20 overs today, and muster up some short of defendable total.

    Just two singles from the over.

    Danni Wyatt isn't someone who will be bothered by something like that run out. She's so easy going.

    Both of these players are busy, they will look to rotate the strike and put the bad ball away without taking too many risks.

  7. Eng 129-6published at 29 overs

    England are going to have to rebuild again here. The positive may be that Danni Wyatt and Charlie Dean are two players who are looking to earn, and then consolidate, their place in this England one-day team. Obviously every player wants to impress, but perhaps these two more than most today.

    Wyatt picks up another boundary as Amy Satterthwaite drops a little short, and she swivel pulls to the square leg boundary.

    Southern Vipers player on BBC Test Match Special

    It will give Charlie Dean confidence to have a Southern Vipers team-mate out there in Danni Wyatt. She's more than capable with the bat, she bats at four for the Vipers and is used to playing in the middle overs, but with 23 overs left it's a big innings for her.

    That was a freebie from Kasperek. Charlie Dean has held her nerve and put it away.

  10. Eng 122-6published at 28 overs

    Oh, that's a gift. A nice loopy full toss from Leigh Kasperek is smacked through the covers for four by Charlie Dean. That's a nice ball to receive to get off the mark.

    The replays of the run out make it look like Danni Wyatt was set on taking a second, then just changed her mind and get back to the non-striker's end.

    Charlie Dean, who is playing just her second one-day international, is the new batter.

    That is quite some challenge for the 20-year-old.

    Wyatt got back first and grounded her bat first.

    Winfield-Hill run out (Kasperek) 39 (Eng 118-6)

    That will really disappoint Lauren Winfield-Hill and England.

    Danni Wyatt worked the ball through the leg side, and there is confusion as England look to come back for the second. There is a bit of yes-no, yes-no, before Wyatt turns back and manages to ground her bat at the non-striker's end, about a second before Lauren Winfield-Hill makes it.

    Winfield-Hill had been patient, but her wait for an one-day international half-century continues.

    Canterbury leg-spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    No-one panicked from the White Ferns, it's very easy to do so. A good throw from Halliday, well held by Kasperek and well gathered at the other end.

  15. Umpire reviewpublished at 27.3 overs

    Oh no.

    One of Lauren Winfield-Hill and Danni Wyatt has been run out here, as both end up at the non-striker's end after some confusion.

    We're just going to go upstairs to work out who is out.

    An absolute mess from England's perspective.

    It's hard for the New Zealand squad to get together when the superstars like Satterthwaite, Bates and Devine are picking up contracts all over the world, which also impacts how much they're with their domestic sides. They also move round from T20 league to T20 league, and this is a rare time when they can play one-day cricket.

  17. dropped catch

    Wyatt dropped on 20published at 27 overs

    Oh, big chance! After twice picking up a couple Danni Wyatt plays a nothing shot, looking to just guide the ball past short third, but she gets a healthy edge, and Katey Martin, who is stood up to the stumps, isn't able to react quickly enough.

    Here's how Sophia Dunkley was dismissed for 11.

    A sign that the pitch isn't as good as we thought?

  19. Eng 110-5published at 26 overs

    England are just in a period of rebuilding after losing those three wickets for nine runs and four for 26.

    Danni Wyatt has played nicely so far for her 16 off 21 balls. It does feel like she is starting to get a bit frustrated, though. It feels like she is itching to play that big shot.

    People are tucking into their picnics at New Road too. Someone is walking down a row, of about a group of 10 people, offering them a sweet treat from a tub. Jealous. There's also crisps, burgers, toasties.

    Thanks Ffion.

    This has been so far from vintage England. New Zealand have bowled well, though. They have bowled a tight line.

    How good is the pitch too? We'll find out, but England need to make sure they bat through the overs and work their way to a total.
