This is a big game for Anya Shrubsole, I reckon. She's not assured of her ODI spot and this summer has seen Kate Cross really solidify her place in this side. It could be a straight shoot-out between Freya Davies and Shrubsole for the final seam bowling place.
Nine runs come from Shrubsole's first, understandably struggling for consistency having been injured for the past couple of weeks.

From the first time this series we've seen a smile from Suzie Bates. That was perfectly driven.
Anya Shrubsole, who missed the first three games with an ankle injury, is greeted by a Suzie Bates boundary from her first ball. Swing for Shrubsole, but way too full and Bates easily clips it off her legs.
It's followed by a wide and then another four! This time a classical straight drive, again from Bates. Definitely not the start that Shrubsole would've wanted on her return.

Sciver's role is often down to economy rather than a wicket threat.
Three singles from the first over as both batters get themselves off the mark.

I'd love for England to be chasing 260-280. It will put the batters under pressure and make them play their shots. They're all powerful batters but we haven't seen that yet in this series.
Nat Sciver takes the first over for England. Her first ball is solidly defended by Suzie Bates, who will be absolutely desperate for a score today.
We're all ready to go - our commentators can see (always helps), Heather Knight's having a last-minute chat with her team and the umpires are striding out to the middle.

We have, thankfully, moved, otherwise we'd be doing a lot of guessing about what was going on.

We said at the start of the series that England's top six is pretty much nailed on, but every single game we've had the same problem - a massive batting collapse.
Lots of talk about the bowlers, but it's the batting that's been letting both teams down throughout.
New Zealand will be batting without scoreboard pressure today, so will that make a difference?
And can England put their top-order collapses behind them? Nat Sciver's return certainly strengthens their top six.

I'm not sure how I feel about New Zealand resting Molly Penfold after just one match, unless there is a niggle we're not sure about. It's Lea Tahuhu's birthday today. Sophie Devine joked at the toss that Lea wanted a day off to celebrate.
Lots of rest and rotation for fast bowlers then, as Tash Farrant, Kate Cross and Katherine Brunt sit this one out for England.
It's a very brave call for New Zealand to leave out their quicks, Lea Tahuhu and Molly Penfold, who were so key in them winning the previous game. They have to win today to keep the series alive, remember.
There are a few changes for both teams so we'll bring you the full line-ups shortly.
New Zealand captain Sophie Devine speaking on Sky Sports: "We actually weren't too sure what to do today if we won so we're quite happy to have a bat.
"Lea Tahuhu and Molly Penfold are being rested today.
"As a batting group we've spoken about having one of the top four in at the end and it was great to see Maddy Green do that in the last game. The exciting thing is we know we've got plenty left in the tank. It's all on the line today."
England captain Heather Knight speaking on Sky Sports: "Looks like there's a bit of live grass on the pitch and we want to make the most of it first up.
"It's nice to have Anya back. She's been unlucky with injuries.
"Credit to New Zealand, they played well last game. We haven't been quite at our best but this is an opportunity to do so."
