  1. 6 runs

    NZ 112-2

    Where has this come from?

    Maddy Green marches down the field and smashes Sophie Ecclestone for six!

  2. NZ 106-2

    And yet another quiet over from Charlie Dean.

    Something's got to give.

    This is a key passage of play for New Zealand. They have gone from scoring at six an over to four an over.

  4. NZ 104-2

    Score predictor on the TV is reading 240 runs for New Zealand at the moment.

    Make of that what you will as Charlie Dean starts her fifth over with another dot.

  5. NZ 104-2

    And the Sophie Ecclestone spin show continues with New Zealand limited to just three from her latest over.

    England's economy since the 20th over has been incredible.

  6. Hopefully the New Zealand skipper is able to return.

    Never like to see a player go off injured.

  8. NZ 101-2

    You guys reckon it's advantage England halfway through New Zealand's innings?

    Hit the thumbs please.

  9. NZ 101-2

    Charlie Dean has figures of 1-15 from her four so far.

    Just two from her latest over. Top stuff.

  10. NZ 101-2

    The 100 comes up in the 25th as Maddy Green pushes a wide one for two.

    New Zealand are having to go searching for runs. The pace has gone out of their batting.

  11. NZ 99-2

    Sophie Ecclestone backs up her bowling partner with an economical over. Just three runs from it.

    The pressure is being turned up.

    Sophie Ecclestone's bowling: 39% full, 56% good length and 6% short. 3 overs, 0 maidens, went for 12 runs, took 0 wickets with an economy of 4.00.

  12. NZ 97-2

    Maddy Green gets her first run with a quick single on the leg side.

    Give Amy Satterthwaite the strike will be her instructions.

  13. NZ 96-2

    Through wickets and injuries, England have removed New Zealand's dangerous top four.

    They've got the advantage now.

    Devine could come back, of course, but it didn't look good to me.

    Shrubsole didn't really have to move for that catch. England have now removed three - albeit one was retired hurt - of New Zealand's big top four.

    WICKET

    Amelia Kerr c Shrubsole b Dean 24

    Breakthrough!

    Amelia Kerr gets greedy and ends up top-edging a sweep shot.

    The ball goes way up into the air but Anya Shrubsole has a safe pair of hands underneath it.

    New Zealand's anchor is gone.

  17. NZ 96-1

    Amelia Kerr moves to 24 with a thump over mid-wicket for four.

    England bowler Charlie Dean is under a little bit of pressure for the first time today.

    I have mushy peas on my Christmas dinner.

    This comment from TMS is as random as it sounds...

  19. NZ 91-1

    Amy Satterthwaite finishes the over going on the attack.

    But her chip forward finds the fielder as Ecclestone finishes off her six well. Satterthwaite has been limited to three runs off 20 deliveries.

  20. NZ 89-1

    And just like that Amelia Kerr releases some of the pressure with a fine sweep for four off the first ball of Sophie Ecclestone's over.
