    I'm a little bit nervous and stressed, but I'm not that surprised that we've ended up in this situation.

    That is a lovely shot from Sophie Devine. It sounded so nice off the bat.

    The sweep is a nightmare for a spinner because you can pretty much play it to any ball. It must be so frustrating, thinking you've bowled a good ball and then it gets swept.

  3. NZ 100-4published at 21 overs

    Target 198

    Charlie Dean replaces Kate Cross. I have a feeling that Devine will try to target her inexperience here.

    She brings out two emphatic sweeps to take two boundaries from the over. Down on one knee, channelling her former hockey-playing self, she plays those shots with such power and authority.

  4. NZ 90-4published at 20 overs

    Target 198

    Brooke Halliday is the new batter for New Zealand.

    Sophie Ecclestone is thumped for four by Sophie Devine, who is absolutely the glue in this innings now - but she's a player who will enjoy that responsibility.

    Kate Cross deserved that. She got a little bit of bounce from that length that was plugging away at.

    That's a huge moment in this game.

    Satterthwaite c Jones b Cross 1 (NZ 85-4)

    BIG moment!

    Kate Cross is changing this game for England. She conceded five wides the ball before, but certainly makes the most of that extra ball! A booming drive from Satterthwaite takes the edge and that's a great catch from Amy Jones standing up to the stumps.

    Sophie Ecclestone has one wicket for just eight runs from her three overs so far, and here is that wicket.

    Target 198

    Sophie Ecclestone whirls her way through another over that goes for just two.

    You can just sense this is the real heart of the battle. It feels like every ball has a real energy about it.

  11. NZ 78-3published at 17 overs

    Target 198

    Kate Cross continues after drinks and is helped out by Tammy Beaumont diving like a salmon (?!) at point to save two certain boundaries.

    And seeing as Sophie Devine can't get the ball past her, she clips through the leg side instead to help herself to four runs.

    While the players take a drink, why not treat yourself to re-watching Danni Wyatt's excellent innings from earlier?

    England are just buzzing through their overs now. They are running around between overs, and they are really sensing this game is on.

    If they can break this partnership they'll be able to open up an end and will sense that they can really win this game.

  14. NZ 73-3published at 16 overs

    Target 198

    Tash Farrant backs up England's tight bowling with a remarkable diving stop on the boundary that prevents a Devine pull shot from going for four.

    It feels like the game is on a knife edge now and both teams know it.

    And here's Kate Cross' first wicket, the big one of Suzie Bates who was looking dangerous.

    It just feels like Kate Cross has started running in a bit quicker. She has got the bit between her teeth, and she is making things happen for England this summer. This is reaping the rewards for being, I guess, boring and hammering away at that length and not giving the batters anything to work with.

  17. NZ 69-3published at 15 overs

    Target 198

    Umbrellas and rain jackets are popping up all around the ground but it doesn't look as if the rain is going to be around for too long.

    In a repeat of the first ODI, the big partnership of Amy Satterthwaite and captain Sophie Devine is going to be key for New Zealand.

    Those two quick wickets have reenergised England, they're buzzing in the field.

    With that wicket the DLS has now gone up to 71 by the end of this over, and New Zealand are behind the rate.

    Kate Cross has bowled really well. She was plugging away at a length, and creating chances. It was the wobble ball and I think it took Lauren Down by surprise.

    Down lbw b Cross 22 (NZ 64-3)

    One brings two ...

    Kate Cross has another, as Lauren Down tries to play through the leg side but is pinned lbw.

    She opts not to review, and replays show that it was missing! What a missed opportunity for New Zealand!
