  1. Eng 251-3published at 40 overs

    Unorthodox but effective from Tammy Beaumont as she dances down the track again and powers the ball over mid-off for four - her third of the over.

    England's 250 is up and Beaumont is into the 90s.

  2. Eng 246-3published at 39.3 overs

    What a shot!

    A cross-batted smash through mid-off by Tammy Beaumont for her second four of the over.

    Beaumont has a huge smile on her face and as well she might - she is now 88 from 102 balls.

    It was a bright an breezy innings for Nat Sciver, who hit 39 from 38 deliveries before being trapped lbw by Hannah Rowe.

    Jones 56 Beaumont 80

    New Zealand captain Sophie Devine decides something needs to be done and brings herself back into the attack.

    It does not have the desired affect through, with a full toss powered through the onside by Jones for four.

    Jones is now leading the way with Beaumont - 80 not out - playing the back-up role.

    This is the Amy Jones everyone fears to bowl at!

    What a superb shot that is! Amy Jones uses her feet so well and gets perfectly to the pitch of the ball. She holds the pose too, so she knows how good that is.

    Shot!!!

    That's delicious from Amy Jones as backs off to give herself from room before dispatching Amy Satterthwaite over the mid-off boundary for six. The next delivery she smashes for four to bring up her half-century.

    Wonderful stuff from the England wicketkeeper.

    There have been a lot of misfields from New Zealand today. England have been putting the bowlers and fielders under a lot of pressure and that's something they haven't had to deal with in the series so far.

  9. Eng 216-3published at 37 overs

    Lea Tahuhu is back into the attack with that wonderful slingy action of hers.

    Amy Jones nearly picks out the midwicket fielder with a miss-timed clip into the onside but she gets away with it and they run a single.

    Tahuhu just loses her line with the final ball of the over and Jones sweeps fine around the corner for four.

    Run rate up to 5.84.

    If you're having crumble, would you have cream, custard or ice cream?

  13. Eng 209-3published at 36 overs

    It's one of the most famous clichés in cricket, but catches win matches. It's been a nightmarish innings in the field for New Zealand so far.

    Five drops and counting for New Zealand, and I reckon all of them bar Amy Satterthwaite's one-handed attempt in the early overs should have absolutely been taken.

    The dropped catches for New Zealand today have been crucial.

    It's another drop!!

    Hayley Jensen bowls a full toss that Amy Jones hits straight back to her but the New Zealand seamer cannot hold on!

    This is exactly what England have been waiting for, a bit of firepower from their middle order.

    England's highest ODI score against New Zealand is 290-5. I remember that day because Heather Knight got a huge cheer for a four, which we all thought was a bit strange. Turns out it was because Harry Maguire had scored against Sweden, I think.

    Jones 33 Beaumont 71

    15 overs to go and what a position England are in. Two established batters at the crease and plenty in reserve.

    They have a real chance to make an imposing total here.

  20. Eng 204-3published at 34.3 overs

    The 200 us up for England!

    It's a poor delivery from Molly Penfold in truth, but Amy Jones dispatches a pull shot through square leg for four.

    Two balls later Penfold is too short again and Jones powers is through midwicket for another!

    Jones had suddenly come to live in these last few overs.
