7.50pm: Top batting from England, taking advantage of a sloppy effort in the field from New Zealand. Devine was uncharacteristically poor, dropping two straightforward catches, and their plans were all wrong through the middle overs. Tammy Beaumont was the standout but Amy Jones' cameo was vital too. NZ will need one of the Smash Sisters to get going if they are to stand a chance. Join us for the chase shortly.

Jensen to Beaumont, OUT, reverse-scooped to short third and Beaumont goes for 97! Got into position early looking to get it up and over the fielder in tight but didn't get the connection she was after and Halliday took a straightforward catch. Falls short of the ton but a super innings all the same.
