  1. NZ 140-7

    Heather Knight strays slightly with her length and gets away with a couple of full tosses. But New Zealand keep picking out the fielders so they can only run two singles.

  2. And this. Bails and stumps everywhere.

  3. This is one of the reasons why Alex Hartley wants Kate Cross back into the attack.

  4. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I'd like to see England be ruthless here and bring back Ecclestone and Cross, the wicket-takers.

  5. NZ 138-7

    Target 348

    Charlie Dean continues, the England spinners are racing through these overs.

    It's more disciplined stuff from Dean, with New Zealand dealing exclusively in singles, though she does blots her copybook slightly with a wide.

    It's not going to change the result, though.

  6. NZ 134-7

    Totally agree, Alex. There's no point just seeing out the overs, New Zealand may as well try and have some fun out there.

  7. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    This is what you want to see, New Zealand's lower order going for it and playing their shots. They're not going to win it so you might as well have a go!

  8. NZ 134-7

    Chipped up in the air.....but over midwicket and over the boundary for four!

    Hannah Rowe has a smile on her face, indicating she knew exactly what she was doing.

    She definitely does the next ball, creaming it through the onside for another four!

  9. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I've just had my final ice cream of the summer. I'm a bit emotional.

  10. NZ 126-7

    Another very tidy over from Charlie Dean, just three runs off it plus that stumping attempt.

    New Zealand need 222 runs from 120 balls.

    Hmmmm.

  11. Not out

    Not out - Halliday managed to ground her foot back in the crease.

  12. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    It's a nice bit of bowling but I don't think Halliday's foot moved.

  13. Umpire review

    Smart work from Amy Jones as she whips off the bails - has she Brooke Halliday? It goes upstairs.

  14. NZ 124-7

    There's some decent running between Hannah Rowe and Brooke Halliday as they run five singles off Heather Knight.

    It's nowhere near enough, but it's all about damage limitation now.

  15. Isabelle Westbury
    Ex-Middlesex captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Brooke Halliday is such a talented player but she's been asked to do too much this series, often coming in during situations like this.

  16. NZ 117-7

    'Come on Deano!' is the cheer from Amy Jones behind the stumps.

    It's another tight over from the 20-year-old.

  17. NZ 114-7

    Charlie Dean continues - and is that a drop? No, just short! Rowe just looped it up back towards the England spinner but she could not quite get the ball with the dive.

  18. NZ 114-7

    Hannah Rowe is the next batter and it's a fairly hopeless position to come into the middle. She manages to get off the mark with a clip down to long-on.

  19. Isabelle Westbury
    Ex-Middlesex captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Heather Knight is an underused bowler but she's come on as England's third spinner. New Zealand selected just one part-time spinner. Has there ever been a bigger misjudgement of a pitch?

  20. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    Once again, spin does the trick for England. If it's not Ecclestone or Dean, it'll be Heather Knight.
