    I'd be surprised if Devine came out to bat, given how much pain she looks in. She could not really move, and looking at the batting order, this is a great opportunity for Katie Martin.

  5. NZ 144-4published at 35 overs

    A Sophie Eccleston misfield gives New Zealand a rare four runs.

    Poor from Ecclestone, that went straight through her legs.

  6. NZ 140-4published at 34.3 overs

    New Zealand can't find the gaps as Charlie Dean continues.

    Their last boundary came more than four overs ago.

  7. NZ 139-4published at 34 overs

    Green survives but that was still England's over.

    Just two runs from Nat Sciver's latest.

  8. Not outpublished at 00:15 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2022

    Flat line.

    Maddy Green survives.

    That is a shocking run from Green, Halliday wasn't expecting it. Sciver executed that superbly, she's Nat Sciver - she can do anything!

    Brooke Halliday run out (Sciver) 2

    Never a single there as Maddy Green calls for one after prodding the ball to Nat Sciver.

    A simple throw and Amy Jones takes the bails off with Brooke Halliday well short. A gift.

  14. NZ 136-5published at 32.3 overs

    Charlie Dean is going to be bowled out I think and why not?

    She also starts her over with three dots.

    Brooke Halliday has started her innings slowly with just one run off her first eight.

    Danni Wyatt's never introduced Staffordshire oat cakes to the dressing room, has she? They are magnificent.

    Totally agree, Stephan...

  16. NZ 136-3published at 32 overs

    Just one run comes from the over thanks to a leg bye.

    New Zealand need a partnership and they need one fast.

  17. NZ 135-3published at 31.3 overs

    Nat Sciver continues the pressure with three dots to start.

  18. 135-3published at 31 overs

    A brilliant over from Charlie Dean comes to a close.

    The 21-year-old has been England's star so far with figures of 2-27 off seven.

  19. 135-3 overspublished at 30.4 overs

    Brooke Halliday is the next in for New Zealand. She starts with a single.

    Of course, captain and opener Sophie Devine who limped off earlier could always return...
