Jamie Dow: "Game on! England will have to make a better fist of batting than they did in the last game."

4.20pm Well, that's the highest total of the series so far, beating England's 241 in Bristol and the hosts will need to chase down 245 for victory in the match, and an unassailable 3-1 lead. New Zealand recovered well from 33 for 3 inside the Powerplay, led by half-century stands between Amy Satterthwaite and Sophie Devine and Satterthwaite and Katey Martin, who scored 65 not out.

Anya Shrubsole made an encouraging return to action, claiming two wickets to put the White Ferns in trouble early. Freya Davies, also back in the side today, took two wickets as well, while young off-spinner Charlie Dean claimed three.

But key were those half-centuries to Martin and Satterthwaite. Given England's batting concerns this series, this could be a challenge. Please join us for their run-chase shortly.

Davies to Martin, 3 runs, outside off, swept hard to square leg, a fumble just inside the boundary by Danni Wyatt, who rushes onto it and flicks the ball away from the boundary sponge, the umpires take a good, look as to whether her foot was in contact as she did so, and it's a three, a look too to see if there was a run out, but Martin is safe

Davies to Rowe, OUT, ah, lured in by the slower ball, she takes an almighty swing and is beaten as the ball crashes into the stumps!

Sciver to Rowe, 2 runs, slow and full, outside off, she cracks it to cover, where Knight makes a good diving stop, landing heavily on a patch of hard, dry ground as she does. Looks like a bit of a graze on the elbow there as a result
