  1. Eng 116-4

    Just two from Halliday's latest over, it is getting tense out there.

  2. Umpire review

    Eng 116-4

    More nice work from keeper Martin as she whips the bails off from Halliday's medium pace.

    They are reviewing for both an edge and then the stumping - but it's confirmed as not out

    The win predictor has gone down from 90% to 75%.

  4. Eng 112-4

    Dunkley is off the mark with a paddle over the shoulder that, bizarrely, elicits an appeal even though it came off the bat.

    The batter then plays it aerially and gets a much-needed four, but she looks a bit jumoy.

  5. Eng 106-4

    In all that excitement, Sophia Dunkley has arrived at the crease but she plays out a Halliday maiden.

    It is one of the sloppiest dismissals you could ever see.

    And off Shemilt-like bowling, too....

  7. Eng 106-4

    Alex Hartley just called it on TMS - "absolute filth".

    Cricket - what a game. What a leveller.

    Amy Jones has gifted a full toss to short mid-wicket. What have we just seen?

    WICKET

    Jones c Satterthwaite b Halliday 1 (Eng 106-4)

    Unbelievable!

    First ball of Halliday's new spell is a full toss, and Amy Jones pulls it straight to midwicket!

  10. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport's chief cricket writer in Auckland

    If Sciver bats through, England win.

  11. Eng 106-3

    Lovely cricket, as a great leg-break from Amelia Kerr beats Sciver's bat and Katey Martin whips the bails off. The batter was safe, but that was smart work.

  12. The worm continues to be in favour of England...

    The worm shows England Women are five runs ahead of New Zealand Women. England Women are 106 for 3 after 25 overs. At the same stage New Zealand Women were 101 for 2.

  13. Eng 106-3

    If New Zealand can pull this off while a bowler down, that will be some effort.

    We're halfway there, this could go to the wire...

  15. Eng 103-3

    That's a gimme off the first delivery of Mackay's next over, a full toss that Sciver hoicks to the mid-wicket boundary.

  16. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport's chief cricket writer in Auckland

    Nothing much worries Amy Jones. She's a very chilled character.

  17. Eng 99-3

    Amy Jones joins Sciver, who nudges Kerr behind square to put the England keeper on strike. It's the only run off the over as England now need 105 off 26 overs.

  18. Eng 98-3

    That came from out of nowhere, seemingly. New Zealand were drifting but it's in the balance now.

    WICKET

    Knight lbw b Mackay 42 (Eng 98-3)

    Gone!

    Three reds, just clipping leg so umpire's call and the England skipper is out!

    It cannot not be out.
