    The perfect batter to have at the crease in this situation is Danni Wyatt - and that's what England have got!

    That was a sublime century. If you didn't know she was one of Kent's own, you do know - look at that standing ovation! It was beautiful to watch.

    Beaumont has gone!

    She skips down the ground but it is a rare mis-timed shot and Suzie Bates takes the catch at mid-on,

    The crowd rises to applaud Beaumont as she makes her way from the field.

  4. Eng 264-4published at 43 overs

    So a fresh batter at the crease, but Tammy Beaumont is still there.

    The run rate is now over six. England could really cash-in here.

    Indeed it did, Beaumont survives.

    It's not been New Zealand's day so far.

    My immediate reaction was that it's outside the line, but New Zealand really want the wicket of Tammy Beaumont.

    Oh scrap that, she's got an inside edge.

  7. Umpire reviewpublished at 42.3 overs

    A slower ball from Sophie Devine hits Tammy Beaumont's and they immediately review.

    Looks like a thick inside edge though...

    That partnership between Jones and Beaumont was worth 97.

    It's a wide ball, Amy Jones is trying to loft it over the off side but she's just got it off the toe end of the bat. This is exciting now though, because Sophia Dunkley is in with just under eight overs left.

    Just look at the smile on her face! That is such a destructive innings from the England opener.

    Tammy Beaumont has done it!

    She pushes the ball into the onside and immediately pushes for two, comfortably making it home to reach three figures.

    The Canterbury rises in applause, Beaumont with a huge smile on her face. A wonderful - and potentially match-winning - innings.

    Here's the ramp shot from Tammy Beaumont but deep square comes round and they run two.

    Beaumont on to 97....

    After the carnage of the last three overs there's a bit more control from Sophie Devine. Just three three singles off it - Tammy Beaumont now five away from a century.

    The England physio is on to give Tammy Beaumont a bit of a back massage. It seems to do the job as she has a beaming smile on her face as she returns to the crease.

    She is seven runs away from a century.

    I feel a bit for New Zealand. It's never fun just chasing and retrieving the ball from the boundary all day.

    This is a special innings from Tammy Beaumont. She's proving herself today having not scored many runs in the series. The way she's using her feet to the seamers is making it look so easy.
