    Umpires' call. It's out but only just. The ball tracking went wild with the bounce then. The pitch looked like a trampoline!

    Charlie Dean is the hero again. Pinning Amy Satterthwaite leg before.

  8. 130-2published at 30 overs

    A wicket is needed.

  9. dropped catch

    A half chance.

    Mady Green edges one behind but keeper Amy Jones can't react to the low ball quick enough to get her hands in the right position.

    That was a very tough chance.

  18. 119-2published at 28 overs

    That's 13 runs off that over as Ecclestone limits the batters with her final few deliveries.

    It had been a good period for England but you wonder whether this partnership has finally clicked.

  19. NZ 117-2published at 27.3 overs

    Two balls later Amy Satterthwaite launches one over Ecclestone for four.

    That's 11 from the last three balls.

    It's not often you see anybody take on Sophie Ecclestone like that, it was a wonderful shot.
