    Devine won't be in a rush. She knows that Brunt is the strike bowler and she can catch up later on.

  2. NZ 89-3published at 25 overs

    Need 90 from 150 balls

    Sophie Devine has a laugh as she crunches a short ball from Katherine Brunt straight to the field at mid-wicket. I get the impression she thinks she missed out there.

    A maiden from Brunt though, and at the halfway point, New Zealand have scored half the runs they need.

    It leaves the game evenly poised for Ffion Wynne. Don't go anywhere.

    Maddy Green's innings feels a lot more important now. They'll need the set batter to just keep things ticking over.

  4. NZ 89-3published at 24 overs

    Target 179

    New Zealand skipper Sophie Devine is the new batter. If England can get her early they will fancy their chances.

    She's off the mark second ball. You get the sense she really fancies this.

    Amy Satterthwaite hasn't got hold of it, she's looking at the toe end of her bat. You could see her thinking of wanting to attack Ecclestone down the ground to force the fielders back which would give her easier scoring options.

    Satterthwaite c Ecclestone b Dean 33 (NZ 85-3)

    Breakthrough!

    This has literally come from nowhere. Amy Satterthwaite looks to hit arielly down the ground again, but ends up clothing it straight to Sophie Ecclestone at mid-off.

    That opens up an end for England.

  7. NZ 85-2published at 23 ovres

    Three singles from Katherine Brunt's first over back. She's bowled six now too, so you'd think she would only bowl another over or two in this spell.

    Worryingly, Katherine Brunt is holding her back and wincing a bit.

    Time for a change.

    Katherine Brunt - who has taken the two New Zealand wickets so far - replaces Sophie Ecclestone.

    It's a big innings for her. When you're batting at number three for your country, you've got to get those fifty plus scores.

    Maddy Green has batted from every position between opening and number nine. She made two big scores against Ireland but has never passed 50 against any other side.

  12. NZ 82-2published at 22 overs

    Need 97 from 168 balls

    Oh! Full from Charlie Dean, almost like yorker length, and Amy Satterthwaite has to jam her bat down to keep it out.

    Three singles from the over.

    Sophie Ecclestone is bowling nicely here, she just needs someone to back her up from the other end.

  14. NZ 79-2published at 21 overs

    Target 179

    Good stuff from Sophie Ecclestone this. She's settled into a bit of a rhythm, but she looks frustrated as both Amy Satterthwaite and Maddy Green just play with soft hands and effectively cushion her into the ground.

    Heather Knight has a chat with Ecclestone at the end of the over. She's bowled six overs now. Time for a break?

    That's not Maddy Green's prettiest boundary, but she won't care. And a boundary off the first ball puts the pressure right back on the bowler.

  16. NZ 78-2published at 20 overs

    Target 179

    Oh, streaky! Maddy Green gets a thick edge as she looks to drive Charlie Dean away, but there's no slip in and third is quite square so the ball runs away to the boundary.

    She's up to 33, while Amy Satterthwaite has 28.

    Georgie Heath: Today’s understatement of the day from Izzy Westbury on TMS: “Tammy Beaumont is not the tallest of fielders”.

  18. NZ 71-2published at 19 overs

    Target 179

    Maddy Green and Amy Satterthwaite have really settled New Zealand. They've put on 56 now, and from being 15-2 they've put New Zealand in control of this chase.

    They milk Sophie Ecclestone for three more singles.

    These two have played with the exact level of control that New Zealand needed from them.

    Ecclestone will be disappointed with that. She just didn't quite time the jump.
