    Just seen a lovely shot of Mount Eden in Auckland, which I've walked up. Mind you, Scafell Pike it's not - didn't take me too long.

    England haven't lost a 50-over World Cup match against New Zealand since 2005.

    Four more for Tammy Beaumont, as she drives Rowe square past point to the boundary sponge thingy.

  4. Eng 41-1

    Eden Park is an odd-shaped ground, with short straight boundaries, but acres of space out wide and that is where Tammy Beaumont picks up three more with a clip off her pads from Tahuhu.

    The worm shows England Women are four runs behind New Zealand Women. England Women are 41 for 1 after 8 overs. At the same stage New Zealand Women were 45 for 0.

    That is a glorious on-drive. Look at the smile on her face! It pinged off the bat.

  6. Eng 36-1

    Lea Tahuhu has replaced Rowe, but Heather Knight grabs another boundary off her second ball with a lovely on-drive that goes past the umpire for four.

  8. Eng 30-1

    Heather Knight has noted Beaumont's progress and drives a full toss past cover for another boundary. It's all or nothing at the moment.

    The pressure has just dissipated with two fours in three balls.

  10. Eng 26-1

    Rowe drifts onto Beaumont's pads and the opener clips it firmly away for a much-needed boundary.

    Two balls later and Rowe offers up a full toss that Beaumont latches onto, sending it to the mid-wicket boundary.

    Karl Leonard: Please can we just have a straightforward victory. My body can't take it. Tammy to hit a 50 nailed on.

    The worm shows England Women are 14 runs behind New Zealand Women. England Women are 17 for 1 after 5 overs. At the same stage New Zealand Women were 31 for 0.

    That's two maidens in a row from New Zealand - England's momentum has gone since the wicket fell.

    This partnership is so crucial for England. They are two of England's calmer operators and while they're in the middle, the anxiety in the dressing room isn't there.

  14. Eng 17-1

    Tammy Beaumont is struggling to get the ball away, finding fielders with every shot.

    David Emanuel: This should be less soporific than the Test vs the Windies earlier today

  16. Eng 17-1

    Indeed, Heather Knight is at the crease, but Rowe forces her into a prod outside off that is so, so close to the outside edge.

    It's frustrating for Danni Wyatt because she will have been feeling good. But now it's about smart, calm cricket, and out comes the skip.

    Oh dear!

    The opener throws the bat at it, but the ball loops high over mid off and Rowe takes a fine catch over her shoulder, reaching out to grab it as the ball drops over her.

  19. Eng 17-0

    Katey Martin is standing up to the stumps in just the second over, and she has a grandstand view of Danni Wyatt slapping a wide one past point for another boundary.

    It is 1.30 in the morning and I have just watched that Heather Knight catch 10 times over. I'm going to have to watch it at at least another 10 before I can think about sleep.
